kelly20 Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 just put the motor back together with new pistons and crank seals. ran about a tank of gas through her. Ran fine. I went up a small hill and half way up she died. I check the key and the kill switch and they r fine. IS there a way to check the stator with a volt meter and if so how and what should the coninuity be? There is no lights and no spark. Can it be the box in the back ? Quote
dynodon Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 This may sound dumb, BUT it happens. You said you just put it back together right ??? Make sure your key isnt sheared off, or that its in the key way Quote

Make sure your key isnt sheared off, or that its in the key way The way that it just died makes we wonder about the flywheel key or something coming loose and hitting the flywheel. Possibly just a wire connector. You should have a manual. If not, get one. Th electrical testing is covered in the manual. Yes you can test the stator but the way it went down, it is probably something obvious. Pull the side cover and have a looksy. Brandon Quote
Snopczynski Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 (edited) Sounds like a loose flywheel or sheared key to me. Pull the cover off and see if there is any carnage. Edited May 30, 2007 by Snopczynski Quote
kelly20 Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Posted May 31, 2007 i pulled the cover and everything was there. key and the flywheel was tight. I replaced the stator with a beat up one what was laying around, also with no luck. Even swapped out the flywheel with no luck. Quote

Personally, I don't like the part swapping events. I like to know something is bad before I just replace it. The way that bike went down points to other wiring failures but the CDI way very well be bad. Continuity testing is your friend. Let that meter rule things out. Sometimes it is not what is bad but what is good that leads you to the culprit. Brandon Quote
