    Totally stumped---misfire problem

    I just have a hard time believing it is the stator when its job is to produce spark, and it is producing it. LIke I said, before replacing it I had absolutely no spark and it didnt run. And now it does, just poorly. However, it wouldnt be totally unheard of that a cheap part didnt work...

    Well apparently the pictures are too big for the server so it wont let me upload them. They didnt show much anyway just a look at some of the wiring harness. If i can figure out how to shrink them ill upload them

    Reeds are good. Brand new when I first ran into trouble. I have not leak tested it yet but am going to in the next day or two once i get the kit. I Undertstand that people have had problems with that stator but I am very confident this one works. I have checked several times both with the meter...

    Ill take pics but of what? I dont smell any tranny oil burning, however im not quite sure ive ever smelt burning tranny oil. I used a breaker bar and just pushed hard. It popped off but hit the floor so i was assuming thats when the magnets broke. That was the old flywheel and now i have the...

    It seems to me the new stator didnt fix his problem after getting rid of the junk one. Again I have wonderful spark on every upstroke. So how could it be the stator? It is delivering the current to the coil and producing necessary spark. I am starting to lean toward air leaks or bad crank seals.

    Carb has been cleaned about 8 times since its bath lol. I kept swearing that was the issue. I just zip tied the float bowl drain tube up a little so it wasnt hanging straight down into the water as well as the set of tubes that come out from either side of the carb

    This is a link to another bike i found on youtube and its doing pretty much the same sh*t. Except it doesnt die after a while. It will idle like that all day. This guy said he is on BF also. Now my question I guess would be how do I check the crank seals? I figured it would be leaking to the...

    Well just got back in from trying again. I took off the exhaust and took out the plug and kicked and kicked. some fuel came out. The expansion chamber had a LOT of fuel in it. It was def dumping fuel through the exhaust. However, unforunately, after reassembling everything, there is no...

    Thanks guys. I double checked and my stator plate is in the correct position for stock. And Larry, not only did it test good, but it caused the bike to run once i put it on. It is a misfire thru the entire rpm range, and wont allow me to rev it. I am going to try to purge any extra fuel now and...

    Totally stumped---misfire problem

    Thanks again everyone for the continued help. I ohmed the cap and coil and readings are within range. I am going to try to purge any fluids from the crankcase tonight. Hopefully that helps. Like I said though it does run just poorly, which makes me think it is a timing problem. But I'm just lost...

    Totally stumped---misfire problem

    IT was an RM stator however before I got it I had no spark and it wouldnt run at all. Once I put it on it had great blue spark and runs. So i know that my old stator was bad and this one is good. Speedy* The compression is around 90 first kick then up to 120-130 on 2nd to 3rd, should be good...

    Thanks for the reply Awk. The bike is an 02 and yes it had both. From what i have read the 02 is a weird year. IT had a seperate TORS box under the hood. I just bought new reeds also, i forgot to add that. The black ground on the coil i have taken off and cleaned and recconnected. The thing...
