Bike sparky help needed.

[nzspokes]

If they definitely come from the stator (not pulse generator) then yeh. The wiring diagram I'm looking at is a bit different.

Thank god for that. I have measured it right.

Thanks for your help over the past few days.

Cant do any more now. So early night tonight.

So you getting no voltage out of it then? another test is to measure the resistance across the same terminals, no voltage, and high resistance/open circuit, and its fucked.

Im getting 13v at crank speed. Should be at least 30v. 86ohm resistence.

Pretty sure its toast. At least hope so.

I just want to ride my bike. Only got 3 days from being licenced etc to no bike.

Interesting, 86ohm sounds very high, it might be that a connector or wire join is mostly buggered, and would be a relatively easy fix. Be worth looking into perhaps.

Im just going to replace it. Then maybe get my old one re-wound. Then again once I have my full I will probably just sell the bike.

Yeh if you can find a cheap one it'd probably be the quickest fix. If it's just a connection you might not need to get it rewound either. Did you measure the voltage and resistance with it unplugged from the rest?

Yeah that from the wires at the first plug.

13V isn't bad at cranking speed, your engine's probably doing 150rpm. I'd expect 30V at 1500rpm+ Don't get me to rewind a stator....Bogan and I figured out I do it drunk and fuck it up.

Thanks for the manual.

13v is way to low according to 2 mechanics. They say a min of 30v is needed to fire the coil. Should get up to 60v at revs.

I'd love what they're smoking. Your coil will be either 12 or 6V. Unless this is a magic system....With 30v going into the coil, when the circuit is broken and it creates the tasty big spark, it'd take far too long for it to "charge" the coil again, hence why so many cars run a 6v coil, way back in the day they would misfire up the top (One problem with the BRM V16) when running 12v.
My bike runs 12v and it needs a bigger spark than yours due to higher revs/compression ratio.

Its 30v AC, CDI rectifys and sends current to coil as 12v DC.

Ah I thought you were meaning the coil was meant to get 30v

Mine doesn't put out 30v even at idle I think (bogan can confirm this I hope?)

[gammaguy]

check your ignition keyswitch

So I fitted another stator. And...... it sparked. For about 15 secs. Then I put the tank back on to give it gas. And it stopped sparking and will not at all.


Fuck.

[bogan]

New stator give the same voltage and resistance?
