Reply To: No spark – GT250 Carby

Hey,

Yep, rediculously lucky with the auction. Once I get this back-up race bike ready, I’ll probably turn my attention to the new parts bike and see if I can get a 3rd race bike out of it – could start a little race team haha.

I tried the horn, and it’s as you described – the yellow brick thing made no difference to the horn. The bike also continued to run at an idle when I disconnected it – there was no effect on the running bike what so ever. I didn’t think to see if the bike would start with it disconnected.

In the video you can hear the bike about to die when I try rev it up but I release the throttle just before it cuts out. The bike starts easily now and once warm I try rev it up,  but it still trys to die out. I’ll have to check the stator output next like you mentioned above to see if its cutting out when the revs rise – maybe the rectificer is toast. Will have to try the one on the parts bike to see if there is a difference.

Could it be the fact that I dont have an air filter on it? Would that cause it to run lean and die out? I’ve got a busy month ahead, so probably wont touch it for a while – probably start a new thread when I get back to it.

Thanks for the support on this spark issue, hopefully helps others.
