ClayAiken Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Remember the flywheel and did you set the gap? Test coil also. Where it was a teardown sounds like a ground to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdawg822 Posted April 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 no i didnt set the gap must have missed that in the manual? ill go back thru manual see if it gives directions or anything. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdawg822 Posted April 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 ok maybe im wrong here but there isnt a way to adjust timing unless i change to the adjustable plate right? i just put the plus 4 key in it not the plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im pretty sure you can use the key however the plate is better. Pull out that key put in stock set gap and see what it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyzstang Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Is your parking brake sensor disconnected? I bought a used bike with no spark. Disconnected that sensor and solved the spark issue. just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdawg822 Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 i just tried to unplig it and still no spark thats not it thanks though, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ticktock Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 You are getting no spark at all? Starting at the stator, is the pick-up .020 away from the magnet on the outside of the flywheel? Are the connections for the stator plugged in the harness, is the key on, switch on, coil plugged in, caps on the plug wires tight, plugs new? Is the any left over crap from the TORS hooked up? Is they key switch plugged in, or do you have a jumper for no key switch? I would start there. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdawg822 Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 no spark to the plug i did kick it over and the headlight are lighting up some what anyway so stator is working? they are brand new plugs all connections are good both wires are just laying just like they were for the tors shit not hooked up. havent taken cover and all back off to check in there yet for anything everything is hooked up plugged in on it You are getting no spark at all?

troyzstang Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Thanks for stepping in Adam. I was just looking for you on the box. Can you get this member spark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jereme6655 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Are you sure you have the plugs sitting on a good ground when you kick the bike over to see spark? Also just take a look between your carbs.....is the choke tube connecting both carbs? After that then I would check the pickup gap for the flywheel...

Larry's Shee Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 check that all grounds including coil mount are clean, bare metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I am saying is the headlights can light and the ignition side of the stator can be bad. I don't know if that is your problem, but don't overlook the stator because the lights work. Since everybody has said it and you have not acknowledged it-set your pickup coil gap to .020. Also make sure your ground connections and coil mounting have CLEAN BARE METAL.

bigdawg822 Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I did acknowledge it as a matter of fact in post you quoted me saying i havent taken cover back off to check in there yet to see whats going on, i had no idea anything could be changed in there beacause its keyed, i am going to pull it when i get off work and see.

TurboBanshee420 Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 i had my stator shit out once creating a ground loop. when i took the ground off the frame by the cdi it sparked, but not when it was attached. strange but true. make sure the stator isnt fried. check it using an ohm meter, ground the black lead to the engine and check continuity on the leads. if you get continuity from ground to the leads its shorted to ground thus no spark. also check continuity across the 2 leads from the pickup coil.
