Bike sparky help needed.

New stator give the same voltage and resistance?

Yup, exactly.

[bogan]

what if you unplug the cdi, and take the same measurements where those wires should go into the CDI. Then repeat the voltage test with the CDI plugged back in.

[nzspokes]

I just tested it both ways. Both the same.

You say you put the tank back on and it no longer worked?
Is there any chance that, in putting the tank on, it disturbs or moves some wiring?
If there is a wiring loom that passes underneath the tank, look really hard for damage.
In fitting the tank, did you have to move the handlebars? Any damage to the loom where it passes around the steering head?

Everything you've described so far indicates to me that there is a wiring fault, rather than a component fault.

[bogan]

hmmm, maybe its the pulse generator then?

Every wire has been tested and retested. None of the applicable wires go through the steering.

Ive tested it with there is power/pulses coming from it. Not sure how else how to test it.

[nzspokes]

Just tested the pulse sensor resistence and its exactly to spec at 110ohm.

and you have tried more than one reg/rect right? what about the coil (or is it coils?) what are the primary and secondary resistances on that?

Yup but it doesnt give power to the ignition circut. Ive got 4 coils to chose from. None work. But there is no voltage getting to the coil.

and there is no loose or shitty wiring earthing any other inputs to the cdi?

All been checked and rechecked.

I think im done with the motorcycle dream. Ive wanted one my whole life. Now Ive got one it wont go. Guess its not to be. Will chuck it on TM over the weekend.

Cant afford to put anymore money into it.

[nzspokes]

Well Im going to keep at it. Going to pick up another CDI and maybe pulse generator tomorrow. Sooner or later it will run.

I hope.

Don't rule out a wiring fault, particularly if it sparked before you put it back together. There will be at least one wire that's part of the ignition circuit that runs into the steering head, the one that goes to the kill switch and ignition switch to stop the bike, could be shorting to the frame somewhere and stopping it running. I've got the opposite problem on my trail bike, that wire is broken somewhere in the loom and I have to turn the handlebars to join the ends back up to stop the thing after the key is turned off.

It can be a pain in the arse chasing problems on a bike, I spent ages finding the cause of my XJ dropping to 3 cylinders at idle, turned out to be a really simple but hard to spot problem. It took a second look after I'd given up and left it for a week in disgust.

Doesn't hurt to give yourself a break, coming back with fresh eyes can make all the difference, the bike will still be there and it's that little bit closer to summer.

Well ive removed the kill and igntion from the circut tonight. No difference. Fitted another CDI. No difference.

But have just found I have voltage coming from the pulse gen. just with the key on. Odd. Only a minor but have found its coming from the earth to the pulse gen. Hmmmm. Will replace that earth. See what happens.
