new build no spark and antifreeze leak

[1996dragshee]

after the new rebuild again on the trail shee seems i have no spark.quads been sittin for 2 years in the garage and i just rebuilt the motor from bottom up and tossed it in last night.first thing i got antifreeze leaking, looks like from the tube that goes into the clutch cover from the case.but i replaced the o-ring on it so i dont know why its leaking... and now second i have no spark,i was wondering whats the first thing i should check before i start swaping shit from the drag bike.i dont have and omemeter so i gotta swap shit out..advice would be appreciated..thanks guys

and also the clutch lever is hard as a mofo to pull in and sticks a little on release.is there a way to grease the cable or something? probably something common sense but i havent a clue lol

Uh oh...what'd you go do.

 

 

Check all your grounds and wires. I have a spare CDI and Stator to borrow. Both my used coils have no ends on them.

 

check the kill switches, if it still has any TORS, disconnect all of it.

 

You can take the cable off, use a piece of paper to make a funnel around the cable...then small, quick shots of WD40 into the funnel. Don't use grease...it attracts and holds dirt, dust, etc.

 

I can give ya a hand next week if you've got time...neighbor!

yea if i dont figure it out by then that"d be cool dave,thanks.im layed off right now so i have all the time in the world : )

 

any idea on the antifreeze leak? its coming from that alluminum tube thing that goes into the side of the case.the hose is tight...im out of ideas now lol

[dajogejr]

Yep. Take the side cover off, spray it all down with brake clean. As long as the hose and clamp are tight, the only other thing it could be is the Oring on the bypass pipe.

 

Put a thin layer of RTV on the pipe Oring,...reassemble.

Happened to me once, that's what I did. Hard to find an oring for that cause it's kinda flat.

 

Yeah...no prob. I got a 95-96 style CDI, harness and Stator I use for backup. I have a Nology Coil and Hotwires that I KNOW works just fine if we need to go that far.

 

You got my number...holler!!!

i tested the resistance on the stator and one of the readings is off.but then i tested it on my drag bike which runs and i got the same reading.i dont know wtf is up.maybe im doing it wrong or got the setting on the omemeter wrong hell i dont know
