1983 WR 500

I have issues on my WR 500: no more spark......I replaced several SEM coils but still nothing. Almost sure the stator is gone....just to check it....how I can test it ? Any suggestion / advice will be more than appreciate.
Thanks

Joe,
below are some scans I had that may help you diagnose the problem. Not all the scans are likely your exact ignition, but the methods are probably similar. You probably already have, but double check all of your grounds and sand them clean of any paint or corrosion (coil to frame, stator parts in case, front engine mounts and rear engine mounts. I have also seen where people's kill switch was causing problems, check that as well. Good luck, Scott

File the ignition under 'B' for Bin and buy a new one! Usually on a SEM you do not get a spark until you kick it to 5 or 6 hundred revs. This is quite hard to do even when everything is in good order. Sold a new one (spark from 200 revs) to a guy in Ireland recently and he says he can now start his 500 in his Slippers!
That is brave - I don't recommend doing that....

Andy.

I have those on my 125s and 430's and you can kick 125 by hand a 430 in slippers (but wear a boot always)

Guys, THANKS !!
Andy, as soon as I have the money I will buy it. I trust you. I guess it will be in a couple days.
The 500 WR is my favorite but always a fight starting it...my friend broke his foot firing the engine last week.......

Have a puller on hand for stocker as well as a TDC dial indicator. Keyless flywheel som dial indicator is a must.

thanks for the info Scott, just tested my rig on the bench and all measurements are good, hopefully can swing it upto 500rpm with the decomp and the longer husaberg kicker.
