mx1986 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Alright can't get spark after cutting harness. I've looked at multiple diagrams and can't see that I have anything wrong. Only thing on the bike is a tether kill switch. I have a good ground. Heres my connections Red/black connected to the black wire off the plug and I have those tied to ground Orange to one side of coil with the other side going to ground white/black goes to one side of tether switch and other side goes to ground its normally open black off the magnet also goes to ground I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Pull the tether cord off, try it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mx1986 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 nop tried that already after looking at the diagram the only grounds on my bike should be the spark plugs if Im correct. So all my connections that I have grounded should just be reference to a common? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulvafan537240 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 The stator is grounded so if the engine has a good connection to the frame all black wires are grounded and the r/b wire too if you have deleted the key switch. Check to see if the b/w and black wire is shorted with the tether in. Check it at the cdi connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 ^^^what he said^^^ If your tether is normally open, when you put your clip in it the circuit will be closed, shorting the B/W and Black wire, killing the spark.

vulvafan537240 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Which tether did you get? If you don't know how to test it, disconnect it altogether and see if you have spark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Well, I could be wrong, I just checked and they advertise the one I'm running as normally open too. It works hooked up like yours. I stole this hand drawing from someone here, it works. I would still hook up the black wire from the stator to your grounds.

mx1986 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I think my bro fried my cdi, he welded on his frame with my cdi bolted on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulvafan537240 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Do you know anybody else close to you that has another banshee that you can test your cdi on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoppedupandcutdown Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Good to hear ya got it fixed ! I just must be lucky, I've welded on a bunch of them with no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman392 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Cdi isn't naturally grounded through the bolts.. so welding on the frame wouldn't effect it bolted/unbolted.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 ^ no, but the little ground wire that mounts 2" away is..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
