bhatch21 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Please bear with me, this might get long. Wife's 94 banshee, all stock. All TORS stuff is unplugged. We could ride an hour or less and turn it off, then no start. Sometimes go dead while riding it. I've chased banshee electrical problems before. Checked stator, switches, etc. with a meter, no problems. Tried bypassing the switches, no go. Swapped coils with my 95 and no go. The 94 coil is still running on my 95. Pulled the stator and it had a crack in the coating. Got a new Electrosport stator and it ran a total of 5 minutes and died on the road. Bought a Caltech? aftermarket CDI, still no spark. Coil and regulator ground are good and clean. Epoxied the stock stator up and put it on. No spark. Put an old, spare OEM CDI I think I got from a member. Got spark. Got it running and the key switch would not kill it. Had to use the handlebar switch. Didn't need the key to run either. Rode an hour and now no spark. I am currently untaping the harness looking for issues. Any other ideas? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider1026 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Try grounding the engine. I also had a spark plug short out once. It was brand new. It shorted internally and killed spark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhatch21 Posted August 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 I haven't swapped keys because they changed electrical plugs from 94 to 95. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhatch21 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Updates, if anyone is following along. Pulled the CDI off my running 02 banshee and soldered the 94 connectors to it. Still no spark. Pulled the harness off the 94 and looked at every factory splice and connection, no visible issues. I went ahead and cut the TORS connectors off while I was in there.
