Engine Trouble **!! MY BIKE WONT START !!**

[crassius]

that two wire mag is wired OK, but the soldering job doesn't look good - you really need a meter to see if it is really connected and really grounded to engine case

How is that wired properly when the positive tab from coil is grounded!

My old mag was wired the same way but also had and eye connection

these have no positive tab - they are AC

on two wire mags, they bring bottom of coil out the bottom tab

 

[Street Ryderz]

so then its a single coil ok that makes sense! sorry bud!

 

[Street Ryderz]

so with out a meter idk what else can help you! I would buy or borrow a dvm and start probing!

I just have the blue wire going to blue on cdi with one killswitch wire , then black from cdi ground to my bike frame with the other killswitch wire , no black in my magneto case but mine is a 3 wire altho I don't think it matters the difference between 2 and 3 is just the white missing and the black soldered instead of grounding by bolt , it makes no difference where you ground the black from the cdi once it's grounded all good.

Have you done the finger test? turn the engine over while your finger is on the tip of the plug. It'll hurt but it'll tell you for sure whether or not you've got spark. Also another thing that's always good to do while the plug is off is to pedal it down the road and let the gunk inside get pushed out.

you should see a nice blue spark , not yellow...

points not set right, faulty condensor , chk , battery, chk rectifyier unit.. ground.

Nobody said the spark should be yellow?
