no spark

[dan_the_man999]

hi all just joined the forum tho been reading as a guest for the last week or so

just bought a 1999 super fever and it wont spark

i think its the stator as im getting no voltage from the black/red wire at the bullet connection when i kickstart the scoot what voltage should i be getting here?

just wondering if there is any other tests i can do to check the stator coil or advice from the forum guru's

thanks in advance

Hi,

 I don't have a wiring diagram for your scoot, so which wire are you testing?
Here's a picture;

hi thanks for your reply but i think that pic is for a dc powered cdi
mine is ac

i'll try and get a diagram to show you

Start with the basics, new plug, connection from suppressor cap to ht lead, then the coil and its connections. What country are you in ?

[dan_the_man999]

hi naughty lee im from the uk iv tried a new plug think its the stator coil tho

what ac voltage should be coming out the stator coil wire (the B/R wire in the diagram) to the cdi

cheers

Well make sure you have the meter on AC and you should see a large voltage there
"An AC CDI runs off a moderately high voltage (80-300 volts or so) AC winding inside the stator. "

I have a lot of manuals for Kymco scooters and none of them use AC for the CDI... Maybe it's a US thing?

You can disconnect the CDI connector and measure the resistance of the Blk/red and it should be
100 ohms or more...

thanks for the info and help randy
i'll check the resistance of the blk/red wire tomorrow and post back my results

Stator's don't go that often, it's more likely a CDI fault. Here's what's inside it, if one of those diodes
shorted it might kill the voltage from the stator;

I had the same problem yesterday. My own fault for washing it with a hosepipe. If water gets into the air louvres on the stator cover, it won't spark. I spent an hour with a hair dryer blasting it in and now it fires. I'm in the uk too. If you have any queries, just give me a bell.
The scooter is my sons, but I love messing about with it.

well iv ordered a coil a cdi and a stator should be here for the weekend so gonna try that lot then and let you all no the outcome gotta be one of the 3 surely and changing all 3 i no it'll be good for a while the only other thing lefts the ignition switch how do i test that?

cheers for the offer to call you lee might give you a call if it still dont spark when iv fitted the bits

thanks for the cdi info randy hav'nt had chance to test the stator resistance with the weather

[dan_the_man999]

Wahoo it runs changed cdi, stator and coil started 3rd kick

Now I've got another problem but I'm gonna start a new thread for that

Thanks very much for everyone's input and advice
