My 2000 yamaha blaster has no spark and I can’t figure out what’s wrong with it, one morning I went to start my blaster after having it sit for 2 weeks and I kicked it the first time and it made the usual turn over sound but didn’t start, I kicked it again and nothing at all I tried kicking it over and over again but nothing, for he past 2 months I’ve been trying to find what’s wrong with it by taking all my electrical components apart and reassembling then but nothing has worked, I ordered a new cdi and coil but it still won’t work, I tested my stator and it reads the correct ohms I’ve checked my kill switch and it seems fine, I even tested all my wires and they seem fine, I just want my blaster back any ideas on what could be wrong? - I’ve also scoured the forums for answers but nothing has helped.
 
You have to read the replies closer!

Check/clean ground at stator. Clean main harness ground. Clean coil mount location. Add dielectric grease to all connections. When you say you checked wires?switches, did you ohm them? Have you done a tors delete? Have you tried bypassing switches? IIRC kill switch needs to be disconnected, key switch needs to be jumped. One is normal open, other is normal closed. Did you ohm old coil and plug cap? Did you ohm NEW coil?
 
I ohmed the kill switch and it works fine, my blaster had its tors system removed by a previous owner so I don’t have that problem, the bike has a racing harness so it doesn’t have a tail light or headlight, it also doesn’t have the key hooked up or a regulator on it, it only had what it needs to run, I jumped the kill switch and that didn’t work, one strange thing with all blaster coils I’ve ohmed is that on the main coil reading (orange wire to the ground) I get .2 which is above the 1.75 max, I have a running blaster that reads the same .2 on the coil and it runs, i ohmed the stator and it runs as it should but I can check the ground again on it, my plug cap on the coil gets a reading on my meter when I ground it and kick the bike (not a good idea for my meter) the meter reads nothing but it beeps , I’ve cleaned my grounds a couple times already
 
I know someone who had same problem everything was fine with the meter, but he changed coil and lead and off she went
 
Update I fixed the problem, my old cdi had a ground wire cut off of it but for some reason the bike ran and when I got a new cdi and didn’t ground that wire it didn’t run, but then I changed the connector to a ring and fitted it on the bolt that goes through the cdi and it ran like new, no idea why it ran without it before
