Hey guys I recently had my motor out to fix a crack case. While it was out and waiting to get it back i decided to go through the wires to remove and clean up the ones I was no longer using. So i cut out the OIL PUMP WIRE, PARKING BRAKE WIRE, AND THE GROUNDS BECAUSE I'M RUNNING A BATTERY.
From what I read on here you don't need the grounds if you install a battery because you float the ground. EVERYTHING was done correctly as I've been riding fine till I had the crack. battery HIDs lights and all.
BATTERY MODS:
RICKY STATOR
TRAIL TECH REG/REC
BATTERY.
TORS DELETE BEFORE MOTOR REMOVED
After searching for answers on why I came across the steps to get the coil to see if it was bad or not. Using the only meter I have the readings showed what looks to be bad but I'm not sure because i can't adjust the ohms like it says. So talking to AWK he told me to use a test light on the coil wire to see if in fact I was getting spark and I wasn't. I then tested the stator and it seemed the "pick up coil" was not reading. So for S**ts n giggles i installed the stock stator and it actually started for a second but cut off from what seemed be because of no spark.
I then used the test light on the coil wire about 2 inches away from the CDI box and it hardly lit up. It also has a alarm sound built into it and when the power turns the light on it has solid beep and that was very low to let me know it was a weak voltage.
So now I'm very confused on whats going on. The bike ran well before I pulled the motor and hasn't ran since then.
HOW CAN A CDI BOX GO BAD WITH OUT IT BEING IN USE??
FROM THE PICS I POSTED IS THE COIL BAD?
AM I RIGHT THAT NO GROUNDS ARE NEEDED FOR THE BATTERY SETUP?
WHAT IS DONE WITH THE PARKING BRAKE WIRE FROM THE CDI BOX? GREEN/YELLOW
