2004LEBanshee Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=41989 Ok Im still having a problem with my bike. I took nuks advice and clippd the ends of the plug wires off and put the boot back on with new plugs. I turned the gas on and pulled the choke and kicked it a couple of time. I then looked down at the carbs and noticed the choke lever was pulling its self back in. It kinda feels like there is a sucktion on it. What the hell could this be. Ok gurus what can it be.

fixitrod Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 I didn't read the old topic this time but the clip wears out on the choke. It's just they way they are. It's not a vacuum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Did you change the plugs? Do you have spark at all? Could have fried the stator if there's no spark. If there is spark you may have fouled a plug real bad from it not firing right and you riding it so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And could this choke thing be part of the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2004LEBanshee Posted April 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Ok I kicked it over a bunch of times and only once and a while the lights even slightly flicker and some time the filiment bearly gets red. Tell me if this could be a problem. A day befor it last worked I took the stator cover off to change a front sproket and noticed my flywheel was dirty and rusty. So I hi temp siliconed the seal to stop any more dirt from getting in and now when I look at it is pretty funky. Im thinking this messed up the stator. But I need to know if the lights should flicker every time I kick it over with the lights turned on. Is this a sign of a bad stator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scottish Tree Badger Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 If I kicked the bike over with the lights on and they flicker could it still be fried. 351171[/snapback] The Stator has two different windings, one works the lighting circuit and the other works the ignition via the cdi. You need to use a multimeter to test the resistance on the ignition windings and coil pickup circuit to confirm failure. And could this choke thing be part of the problem? 351171[/snapback] Unlikely. Use something to hold it out half way. A hose clip or insulating tape wrapped around the shaft a few times. ... Take the plug cap from the end of one of the plug leads and hold it between 4 and 6 mm from a head nut (earth), and kick the bike over to check for a spark. Rare.

Rare. 351190[/snapback] 1. whats a windings. and would a new coil fix both problems. Electronics are foriegn to me. 2. is that the ignition coil and pick up coil? I HATE ELECTRONICS!!!!!!!!!!!

fixitrod Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 This is a stator. You can see the coils he's talking about. See how there are two sets of windings. One's covered with white epoxy. One set if for ignition and one for lighting. Do you have spark??????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scottish Tree Badger Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Nice one fixitrod. ... A picture tells a thousand words. Rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2004LEBanshee Posted April 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 I took a plug off caped it and put the end agenst a bolt thats on the head. I kicked a bunch of times and didnt see any spark but not sure if that was a properway to do it or not. . I also took mild sand paper to the middle lip of the fly wheel because it was caked with dirt and rust pretty good. I also sanded metal end of the pick up coil and tried starting it and no dice but the lights did get a little brighter but still dont light every kick. I dont have a guage to test the coil.

fixitrod Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 The easiest way to check for spark is to put a good spark plug onto the spark plug wire. Set the shiny part, bottom, of the spark plug up against some bare metal such as in the spark plug hole. Kick it over. You should see a spark jump aross on the end of the spark plug.

It'll let ya know if its got spark. Also, it'll wake ya up and maybe pop some new ideas into your head. Always works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
