Bandit 250 dies under load

[boman]

The only info I have is off the internet. The float height is stated at 8.06mm. That is for a 40hp model. Good luck in finding a paper manual. I was quoted at $150.00 if I wanted one printed for me. I declined as I don't intend having the bike for that long.... Google sunnyside feeling and you get a few pages of pictures and funny translated english. Thank god a picture says a thousand words.

I admit that although I checked the voltage at rest, I did not check it at idle. It's definitely worth the 30 seconds to check though

I guess with between that and swapping in some known good coils, we aren't done for yet

It does not need a new battery.

I think you may have misinterpreted my post (admittedly it was slang), when I mean it 'doesn't make an effort', I mean 'it turns over nice and quickly, but doesn't try to fire'.

As I have since discovered, the didn't try to fire was related to spark, but due to a broken wire.

If the battery was defective, as the starter motor is the highest current draining device this side of the black stump on any bike, it would either turn over slow with very little spark, or no spark at all.

It seems almost like a simialr problem to getting my bike going, but i think a friend and i came to the conclusion that if it was the coil causing havoc, two cylinders would not be working
