Reply To: Can not get it to spark – GT125R
GTR- Side Stand Switch (bypass it) (bridge wires and protect it from rain with tape) be OCD about since hyos really hate it when water gets to the electronics
- Clutch Lever Switch (see this item here ) – don’t try to bypass it. It is there for good reason for the benefit of the gearbox too.
- Stator Magneto – > Check resistance of the pulse sensor with a meter under 200 ohms and tell us what it says
(Blue & Green Plug from the stator)
(Bike stays OFF, keys Out of ignition) - Stator Magneto -> Do the same with the 3 yellow wire plug (Pin 1 & Pin 2 = Ohms? , Pin 2 and 3 = ohms ? Pin 1 + 3 = ohms ?)
(What is it under 200 ohms? Tell us. 3 tests ^ above , 3 results . eg. 1.2 , 1.4 , 1.3 ohms = each yellow wire has its own ohm reading. it’s called a 3-Phase stator)Dead stator = No sparks will happen. So this is important to check. - Make sure regulator is disconnected (it will spark without it) but plug it back in when bike runs because it is there to “charge” the battery & provide “running” juice -> when bike starts.
- HT cap failure (common) – we use NGK to remmedy this. or measure resistance of the oem caps by themselves WiTHOUT the coil attached
(What is it under 20k ohms ?) - Ignition coil (common) , usually one of the first few mods changed on carby bikes.
Or measure their primary & secondary resistance) - CDI unit – I hope not.
- Wiring Harness – I hope not, only cross this bridge after dealing with the parts above first.
