FOXBANSHEE30 Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Ok guys I rode my Banshee all day and now the thing wont start. Im not getting any spark to the plug boots. Any idea what I should start checking? e.g wires from stator, CDI? I have no clue on the electrical. What are the odds of a stator goin bad? Thanks for the help.

dekker Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Could be a bad CDI.... also check the pickup gap between the stator and the flywheel.. should be about a matchbook cover size gap there. Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 the manual has a very good troubleshooting guide that goes through the steps of elimination. it's a handy thing to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOXBANSHEE30 Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 how can i check that gap? or do u mean from the pickup coil to the flywheel? Im just confused because I had rode it all day then it broke down. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 (edited) how can i check that gap? or do u mean from the pickup coil to the flywheel? yea, he's talking about the gap between the pickup coil and the flywheel. don't remember the specs and don't think that's something that's going to just quit. if it was me, I'd try to find / borrow a cdi and coil from a friend and swap them over to see if that fixes it. if it does then you know what you need. you can check for voltage to the coil but don't remember the spec off hand. stators can go bad. have you had any water in there or hit any water crossings?

FOXBANSHEE30 Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 No water, I generally try to stay away from water. Im not getting any current to the coil. Thats y i am confused. I checked the current and there is none on the orange wire. And the only one with current coming from the stator is the yellow one, and i think its for lights. Thanks for the help.

FOXBANSHEE30 Posted September 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 in the manual it says to use an ohm meter to check it. Im not sure how to use one though. Can someone elaborate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 an ohm meter measures resistance. if you were to set the meter for ohms / resistance, when you touch the leads together, it should read 0. then, you take one lead and place it on one side of the box (where the manual states) and then place the other lead in the other location, measuring resistacnce between the two points, you'll get a reading. the manual should have a spec for the item. if your meter reads w/in speck it's cool, if not, you could have a problem.

FOXBANSHEE30 Posted September 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 one lead is red and the other is black, does it matter where they go? or will it matter? and can I test my CDI for resistance and see if its messed up? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
