[lownslow1988]

05 banshee....i had to do some welding on the exhaust bracket to frame on the quad this morning....now it wont start....it started up this morning with 1 kick....now its getting no spark it seems...what did i burn up???

this happened to my frineds predaturd he shorted the cdi or stator something like that i dont quite remeebr

[98_shee]

did you unhook the electrics before you started welding? you may have fried the cdi, if you have acess to another shee try another cdi, coil, ect....

[lownslow1988]

i didnt think to unhook any electronics.....i dont have access to any other shee's....is there anyway to test the electronics so i dont have to buy parts i dont need

[98_shee]

This should help,

Banshee Electrical FAQ

It ^^^ will give you the resistance for the coil and stator, i don't think you can test a cdi, but not sure someone will chime in, that knows more than me.

how close was yur growned to were u were welding that can make all the difference. if yu were welding on the front of the bike and grwoned was at the back maybe u fried yur cdi.. ive seen this happen alot, even worse damaged some bearing in the engine also..

it was grounded at the back and welded at the back....the voltage regulator and the ground were unmounted from the frame...

I have complete Banshee electricals I can sell you if interested, just PM me because I don't receive email notifications. I have the CDI, Coil, Harness.

sounds like you toasted your CDI. They are very sensitive to voltage spikes.

I know you know this now but you must always unhook electricals before welding. If there is a even a slight short it will send the power back through the system.

 

 

 

 

Example. I have an over-head track crane at my shop. We never weld on something that is hanging or touching the crane. If it shorts it will burn up the cranes electronics. Im sure it works the same for a atv.

Yes. If you call Ricky Stator Inc., you can ship your electrical components to them & they will provide an honest testing for you. I shipped my stuff to them once & they told me the components were good... They did not try to sell me something I didn't need.

[lownslow1988]

well i went out with the diagrams from the above link, and it started up first kick like it always does....they would rule out the cdi box correct???? but it was only running on 1 cylinder....i did drop that plug though when i pulled them....ive got new plugs to go in but havent gotten back there since.....whats my chances that its gonna run good with just new plugs....i thought about it and i welded the other side exhaust bracket without unhooking any electronics and its been fine since
