Help No Spark!!

[Kamalazooz3]

I just completed my build but there's one problem there's no spark so i took out the spark plug and pushed the bike a little and no spark but when i push the bike while touching the metal part of the spark (the thread) I feel it zapping my hand so then i take out the multimeter to check the magneto for resistance and i get 330 ohms which i think is good so then I move on to the CDI to check its resistance and i get 0.L so I'm kinda puzzled cuz the spark plug zaps me but doesn't produce a spark so the CDI must be working but on the multimeter i don't get a signal, so maybe the CDI is weak? PS: I checked the kill switch and its fine


Thank you for your time

It might well be something as easy as throwing away that cheap Chinesium "Z" spark plug your kit came with and replacing it with an NGK-BR6HS plug instead...First thing I always trash everytime I build.

What I am saying is the Z plugs are absolute total JUNK....I never even try to use them anymore...Using a quality plug will at least rule out the bad plug idea...gapping is at .025 thousandths of course.

I can relate to that...The link below is where I get mine from if it seems any cheaper...Its amazing how much they have gone up in price like so many other things as well...When I bought this same plug last year, it was $2.65 per plug...lol.

see its almost triple the price to order it to my country its 75 SAR which equals around 21$ for 1 spark plug and arrives after 10 days i have tried to find ones locally but they're all chinese crap

 

[Kamalazooz3]

Every sar has an American value of just 0.27 cents, as in pennies. from what I just read online.

oh you thought that it was 21 SAR no i mean 21 us dollar which equals 75 SAR

Yep, your correct although I finally calculated it down to be $20.00...Thats expensive!!!
