No spark

[Herpderplol]

aight, so i finally got the studs and base gasket and put it all together. few days later i modded to fit the airbox.

at some point i lost spark???

only things electrical i touched during the whole time:
took spark plug wire off
warp tape around the cracked casing of the stator wires (the wires are fine, just the outer casing)

im truly stumped on this though!

what i tried:
3 more plugs
checked and cleaned connections

tomorrow i will probably pick up a multimeter and test a few things, i just need to find specs. but im going to try my brothers coil. easy swap and might be the problem

tell me what to check and i will. i want this fixed ASAP

did you weld anywhere??

 

[Awk08]

unplug both kill switches one at a time
check the ground at the coil is to bare frame
then onto the testing.....

i only have one tether kill switch. but okay will do

forgot to check coil ground

i just dont get why it ran 2 weeks ago. nothing changed and now it dont

no welding

Strange as it may seem, disturbing wires by stepping them has been known to break the conductors.

So in about 90 degree weather, my coil is not matching specs.

Orange to black I'm getting .8 to .9 ohms resistance. Supposed to be 1.4-1.7 idk if temp makes a difference??

Orange to spark plug wire I have to set my meter on 20k ohms and I get 10-11 something.
Supposed to be 5.3-7.9

mine did a similar thing pal and the plug cap has given up and wouldn't even beep on the continuity tester replaced and bang it fired up this was after I made a race loom and like you was scratching my head ive never had a bad plug cap before now either

well even though my coil readings are way off, the coil is fine

my CDI is bad. one of the tests i couldnt get any reading on.

black/red and black wires i believe. tried my brothers on it and boom

Sadly a CDI can go at any time, stators are more foregiving . For both the most important thing is to make sure you have a GOOD ground.
