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!

ive got the same issue with my bike atm. lol

however im getting sent a complimentary stator plate,cdi and coil from pitbike john

hehe

hes a legend!!

yeah man, jon from mini thump

course i will get them, hes got a soft spot for me

Dam_Buster · 08-02-2009, 10:38 PM

well will test the stator 2morrow, adam from PBS has already confirmed if its a dud he will replace it, which is ace.

hope to get this sorted.

hmm i ill tell you how great he is, if and when i get them lol

Right well, i checked the stator, and its returning over 100 ohms,

so its working alright, i have checked within the loom and its saying its all good too.

could i check for a short to earth by putting one side to the wires, and one side to the engine? as surely a short to earth, would go through the engine?

would this work?
