GN250 Won't start off button, crash starts fine.

I have a spare stator here somewhere you can have for a million dollars.

Carb clean is easy enough on a GN

Spark tester can be made from a lump of wood with some holes and stuff, all you want to see is how big a gap it can jump. 5mm is healthy but I have my doubts about a GN managing that at cranking speeds

Has it always done that? Both my bikes are the same if they've slept the night outside.

Your batt is quite new and it is crash starting alright so personally I'd be checking and crossing off all your electrical stuff first. I got a bungly wired stator which was giving the symptoms of a blocked carb a while back. Everything but the stator was checked for a long, frustrating, time.

Just going over the wiring and making sure your earths are fine and nothing is split/damaged can save you a headache and facepalm later on.

They're common bikes. Someone might be able to lend you a reg and stator to check, otherwise you can never have too many spares

Pretty sure not, but then again it had been in near daily use and kept inside, so the circumstances are different. I'll go over the stator properly as well (say 14+v charging so assumed it was all tickety boo).

Got it ... makes sense now (was imagining blocks of wood and wires/resistors etc).
