right, i have a yx140 engine in a shineray frame,

i have recently swapped the stator on the yx engine for a light powering stator plate, and have bought a new ign loom to go with it

(new coil, ht lead, cap, kill switch)

and i have no spark.

now, its getting rather old now, and all i want to do is get it going.

electrics aren't my strongest point, just takes me a while to figure things out,

now today i have been back checking through all the parts, different plug tested, changed the ht lead coil and cap back over to the old ones, and tested the cdi too.

still no spark.

any one got any ideas?

is there a possibility the stator plate i have purchased from PBS is a duff?

Yh stator plate could be dodgey. Have you go one you could lend off a mate to test it??. Get a multimetre out and test the electrics

gonna have to get a stator removing tool, unless anyone on here has a few?

not that exspensive tho,, so might as well get one for myself.

and can check it against my old single coil stator and see if it runs again.

the bike is just starting to bore me atm, from one problem to the next lol.

then again, it will be a delight to ride when finished.

okay mate will check it out.

Certainly sounds like a dud stator. Another thing to try is a continuity test on the wires involved in ignition, may be as simple as a short to ground acting as a 'kill switch' wire or a broken wire. Worth a try b4 ripping into the engine, you may be lucky and its a simple problem!

could anyone help me out with my problem..ive brought a pitbike off my mate (don't know the name of it) and wen i kick it it doesnt give out any spark from the cable that connects to the spark plug so theres no spark its not the spark plug because ive brought a new one..could this be because the cable isnt giving out any spark or is it to do with low compression?..or could it even be to do with wiring?...

thanks guys..
