Holyman Posted September 1, 2004 Report Posted September 1, 2004 If it worked and then didn't work at all, I'd say there's a wire off somewhere. Clean and inspect all the terminals to the stator, cdi and coil. Make sure your kill switch isn't shorted out somehow. If you get some spark and it won't start, that could be something totally different. Quote

Did you try disconnectting the tors? little black box above the left exhaust and parking brake switch. Quote
BenBB Posted September 1, 2004 Report Posted September 1, 2004 I agree with Holyman and Banchetta, could be something simple (although not always easy to find) like a wire shorted to the frame or the stator decided to give it up. You can test the stator and the coil with an ohmmeter, check out the Electrical FAQ link below, but if it's the CDI the only way to know for sure is to swap in a good one, if everything else checks out it's a definite possibility. Good luck. Quote
