WTF still no spark!

[pweezy42]

ok so now i have changed the stator, coil, cdi, on/off switch, bypassed the ignition, and changed the wire harness., sanded all ground points! :mad: and at first i got spark but it was on and off then it just went to no spark again :mad: WTF :mad: WTF :mad: WTF :mad: WTF :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: im ready to smash the shee! any other suggestions other than to take it to a shop and get charged out the wazoo for it?? :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

make sure you got a good ground and make sure your on/off switch is on and your key switch is on! i made these mistakes a few times!

what did you setup your pickup gap at? it should be at .020 in or .5mm

 

thats all I can think of at the moment

[scooter6101982]

the pick up should b set between .15 and.20

[pweezy42]

but if the pick up was set wrong it wouldnt give any spark correct??? i ghad spark then it was suddenly gone then back then gone for good???

[badassbanshee479]

is the flywheel rusty?? inside or out? clean the little pads on the out side of the fly wheel where the pick up reads to fire the motor!

 

Do you have a ground going from the engine to the chassis?? is the frame painted or powder coated?? sand all the powder coast off of where the egine mounts go threw. ( I know it sounds dumb but I have seen it cause no fire!)

 

Did you replace the cdi and stator with known good parts?? have you ohmed the stator with a meter?? un plug it and read the stripped wires first, then the soild wires. they should be within 100 ohms of one another. ( example, one set is at 17 ohms, other set of wires is at 117 ohms. give or take a few) if you bypassed the key, did you reconnect the wires to one another? seen that one a few times too!

 

is the pick up on the stator set at .018-.020??

 

report back and we will go from there.

get rid of the boost bottle.... lol

Thats a weird thing yeah, but if you replaced all the electrics then i think there is a connector or loose wire somewhere...

i put all my parts on another shee and shee kicked right over i just dont get it sanded all the ground points im bout to burn it or trade it

[badassbanshee479]

where abouts you live?? if close enough I could look at it for ya

[HotCarl]

if you have another banchee around pull the flywheel off and try it on yours. It has happened before they do break, and they sound like there is sand inside them when they are broke. moneybags had one go bad a year ago and it took him a while to figure it out.

pain in the ass, but try putting the stator back on the other shee and see if it runs. Who did you get the stator from? Same problem happened on here not to long ago and the brand new stator went bad

[pweezy42]

no sand around here and we did try the fly wheel swap both ways his kicked over mine nadda trust me we did all of it but nothin its sad to say but im gonna end up taken it to a shop for them to charge the fuck out of me but im at that point missed the snow storms the last 2 weeks...oh ya and im in Scranton PA just a couple min ride from MI :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

[badassbanshee479]

did you bypass the key??

[pweezy42]

yes key is bypassed

[badassbanshee479]

try running a ground from the cylinder to the chassis somewhere.

make sure you get the chassis spot sanded up real good
