Fastassbanshee96 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 So I just built a 4mil serval, took it riding a few weeks ago and it ran great. While riding two screws fell out of the stator cover( it's a 3pc billet one) so went back to the truck and found some bolts to fit in it for time being. It was about a week later I took it to the car wash to hose it down and had forgotten about the stator cover not being completely water tight. I started it to put it in the truck, washed it and re-started it to put it back in the truck. Didn't get home till late that night cause I had to work so I didn't start it to take it off but tried starting it the other day and has no spark. I checked all the connections swapped coils, swapped plugs, took off the flywheel thinking some water got on it and rusted it. It was fine but lightly sanded it anyway. Checked pickup coil gap....... What could it be. I'm thinking either stator is shot or cdi went bad just have a hard time seeing either go bad that easily. What do you guys think.

jlsparky7 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Id say its the stator... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastassbanshee96 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Yeah I'm going to check that today. What's the resistance supposed to be on the stock ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastassbanshee96 Posted October 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 So the stator tested fine, pickup coil fine..... What else could it be. Do you guys think the cdi could have gone bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishchris Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 What about the on off switch or your key switch? Just a thought I doubt the cdi would have just gone bad. And my serval also likes to jiggle screws out get some locktite for those screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastassbanshee96 Posted October 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Yeah I don't know how to tell if the switch's are bad without swapping them out. I've checked screws and everything is tight that I've checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastassbanshee96 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Yep ended up being the cdi box. Everything is all good now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
