VictorK Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 I just put my bike together after rebuilding the top end and painting the chassis it had spark before I took it apart but not anymore I made sure the grounds were all clean theres no tors I tried the box for them near the coil both plugged and un plugged plus the ignition wires are twisted together when I kick it the lights start to glow so Im assuming the mag/stator are good and I put my friends cdi on still no spark.I have work off tomorrow so Im going at it again and targeting the coil,do you guys think the coil can go bad between the rebuild and if not give me some ideas and as always thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKheathen Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 well, if you are like most people, you probably washed the shit out of it befor tearing down. it is possible that rust/corrosion got in there while it was sitting, which only takes a day or so, but it is also possible that the pickup coil needs adjusted to the nodes on the flywheel too. i use a sparkplug box to set mine.

fastquad02blaster Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Does the coil, where it mounts, have to be grounded. Fresh paint between there = no ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKheathen Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 yah, but he said they are all cleaned.....only other ground would be the back of the timing plate where the wires clamp on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorK Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Ok so I got it running today I was looking in my garage and there was a plug I left behind with wires spliced together I plugged it in to the harness and first kick she fired! What a great sound the motor makes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VictorK Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 It probably is the key switch mine is off but I'm thinking about putting it back maybe on the top corner of the grill.I was going nuts with that damn thing what a fluke it is that I left the plug behind I could imagine what I would go through to get it running if the plug was thrown out by mistake without me knowing!
