Balzout Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I'm haveing a problem with my shee running on only one cylinder. I replaced the stator and coil and still have a lazy right cylinder. My question is, when I put a timing light on the motor, it seems really inconsistant. I mean you can see the litening holes on the flywheel when the light flashes for a couple of seconds, then they disappear for a couple of seconds. When I move the light to the other cylinder, it does the same thing. WTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 first thing, verify your light on a good running car or truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balzout Posted December 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Light works fine, any thoughts out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastquad02blaster Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Have you checked your pick up coil gap. It might be a touch loose. Maybe the ground on your coil. Is your spark consistant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balzout Posted December 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Have you checked your pick up coil gap. It might be a touch loose. Maybe the ground on your coil. Is your spark consistant? Thanks for responding, I walked away from it for a couple of days and will probably have time tomorrow to look at it. I haven't checked the gap on the pickup coil yet. I just replaced the stator and coil and was in the process of timing it when I noticed what the timing light was doing. I'm having a dead cyl issue that I need to get figured out also. I was wondering if maybe the two were related. ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Sure your flywheel isn't slipping on the crank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 start with the standard things. remove your caps and wires and make sure the wires aren't ate away at the connection points, and ohm the caps. trim the ends of the wire before putting back together, regardless. next, ohm out all the grounds. the coil mount, the frame by the voltage regulator, and the engine. the engine ground is on the back of the timing plate. it's soldered to the cable retainer. the lighting grounds to the stator frame itself. of course, the black bullet connector needs to be good as well. check pickup gap and ohm stator/coil. odds are, you will find the problem in this process, but, sometimes, it's just a bad wound stator that tests good, or damaged flywheel. on rare occasions, the cdi can go bad.

Overboost Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 mine also does this on the right side only. once it warms up and runs a few seconds, its fine. its getting gas, fire is good, plugs are new, new flywheel, so on and so forth only does it stone cold. I gave up, runs great when warm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Keep in mind that both cylinders spark at the same time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
