sootman73 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I took the shee out today on its maiden voyage after rebuild and tuning. it was 56 degrees ambient and the quad was at 112. I wound it out to about 10000rpm through all gears and when i left off the throttle i lost all spark and even down shifting and playing with kill switches did nothing. The only electrical i did on the quad was the trail tech computer. Would the tach wire ground out the coil to burn something up? its power comes off two 9 volt batteries not the stator power. When kicking i dont even get the headlights to lite up at all like they normally would. This leads me to think that its not the coil. Could there be something wrong with my stator?

Larry's Shee Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Check to see if flywheel came loose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sootman73 Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Is it normal for those to just come loose randomly? I only did top end rebuild and never touched anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheerider11 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 That happened when I burned up the harness on the stringers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesandrider Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 FYI, the lighting windings and the ignition windings are 2 seperate circuits. So if the headlight circuit dies you will still have ignition. I would check the wire harness to see if it is burnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sootman73 Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Thats what i figured since everything shut off not just spark. Anything that would cause a short with the trail tech? Everything was installed just like the instructions said to.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sootman73 Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 sitting there in bed this morning I got to thinking of one spot that could be problematic. Its where the pipes come inside the frame near the air box on the right side and theres some wires there. never checked to see they weren't against the pipe. Checked just now and lo and behold it melted and grounded out the wires. moved em and fired right up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
