tithead Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 im racing tomoro! im not getting a spark. i was out on my shee popping some wheelies and geting on with practice. everything was great and it was getting dark so i took the shee home and poped it in the garage, let it idle for 10 mins to cool down then shut it off, shut the doors and went to bed. the next evening i came out to the garage to start her up and she wouldnt fire !!! i took the plugs out and i waswnt getting a spark. i phone a few friends who are mechanics and they all said the coil was fucked. i got a new coil straight away. iv just gone out to put it on, conected everything back up and im still not getting a spark. there was a couple of wires that looked a bit dodgy so i have reconected them, checked the magneto, got new plugs.........still no spark! why am i not getting a spark??? i even put my finger in the plug cap to see if it would zap me but there was nothing. please please please help, i dont have a clue what to do, its 8pm over here so im fucked for getting parts if its something major. its the first race of the season tomorow so anything is greatly apreciated! sorry for the story but i thought i would tell you all the whole story, i hpe i havent missed anything. tithead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nater006 Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 Did you try disconnecting the bloody TORS box yet? That might be doing it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee76179 Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 (edited) Stator or CDI is what I'm thinking.... hope I'm wrong and U get to race 2morrow... or tors Edited September 25, 2004 by banshee76179 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickxc Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 It sounds like a stator to me. I had that same thing happen to me, I was riding all day, ran great. parked it in the garrage. a day later all my buds where at the house and we were all gettting ready to take off and I kicked and kicked and kicked that bastard and nothing. found no spark, after hours of screwing around (and obviously missing my ride ) I found it to be my stator . got a new one for like $150 (i think) and was back up and running a week later... if you can rob one off another shee somewhere that would be the thing to do to find out if that is your problem. Thats what I did... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 hope you get it bro. the stator is a good place to go next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tithead Posted September 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 (edited) well we came to a conclusion, its the cdi unit. its definatly not the stator (magneto over here) there is power from there. if im right in saying, the voltage regulator only suplies voltage to lights and keeps the volts at the same 12voltage at any RPM and the CDI unit is the main part (the brains) of the power to the coil? iv also lost my manual . well i shall have to get a new 1 when i find out what it is. thanks for all the replies. unfortunatly im not racing this weekend cos i cant get the parts in time but on the brighter side of things............................. i bought a yfz450 . i should get it in 2-3 weeks . thatll do the job!......of course im keeping the shee! nothing will take it away from me.......ever!!!!!! tithead Edited September 26, 2004 by tithead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zilladude Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 The silver box is the regulator for the lights, I dont think that will cause a no spark issue. The black one is the CDI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
