  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

125-200cc having spark issue, possible stator/coil need help

The ht lead should be screwed in.
I'm not saying it isn't fixed as you stated but on my bikes all of them they just un wind.

What plug gap are you running? Try closing it to just under a millimetre.
Contrary too popular belief a larger gap isn't a bigger spark is weaker as you need move power to jump the gap.
 
cant remember my gap of the top of my head but it was within spec from the manual when I put new plug in a while back, I'm not 100% sure but I think myn is a fixed wired coil from what ive been seeing online, but I am planning to take a better look tomorrow and see what I can do with a new cap and maybe trim a cm of end of lead if I cant replace it
 
Rip the old plug cap off, trim 5mm off the insulation to get fresh copper then take the strands back over the outter edge if the ht lead in a flared pattern then screw the new cap on.
Fingers crossed its that.
But sceptical sorry i cant be of more use.
 
Thanks I'll definitely try that tomorrow and yeah im unsure if thats the issue or not but i know i can pull cap off without unscrewing it without force so I'm thinking everything may be ok but just looses contact from time to time but yeah i have no idea lol
 
well I put the old plug cap back on and secured it on tight without doing any trimming or anything else to the bike since it did have spark last night just to see if it would even fire and it started very easy even easier than sometimes back when it had no problem but it ran like shit and I know it needs a tune but I'm unsure what is the actual cause atm I'm still thinking the cap or something else in the electrics still
 
. ? Do cap just cus you got one coming.
Youve checked your flywheels not sheared the woodruff key an moved on the crank shaft.
The other things im thinking are, either crankshaft seals gone bad. Air leak or your carbs got crap in it thats floating about giving you fueling issues your mistaking for electrical.

I mean all your ignitions working by the readings youve given.
By the looks of it may have a pinched wire somwhere.
Personally i would now strip carb make sure thats spotless with correct float height etc.
Then see if flywheels shifted no real way too tell with it mounted, undo the nut that holds it on and see if you can see the keyway with key in it and the cut out in the crank(doubtful) or remove it if you have a puller.
You may find your stators rotated a bit an kicked timing out.
Once in there look at the seal any oily dusty crap around it and that may be your airside seal starting to go.
As you can tell theres a few options still to check.

Have fun!
 
yeah solid info thanks, now ive basically ruled out ignition system I am happy to start pulling things apart to check why its not running well, and ah yeah I cleaned carb not to long ago and it worked fine for a couple of rides since (it had the bogging issue long before I touched the carb) so I'm thinking a good tune with different jets is the key here (hopefully I'm a noob at carbs but from my research that's what I'm seeing), and I think the float lvl should be correct as I havnt changed it since it was running fine last and its unlikely to have bent it self out of place I would imagine, anyhow now ive got it going again I'm going to buy a bunch of different size jets and do a full carb tune and do the reeds too while im at it soon so i'll clean it up if needs it then anyhow, for now i'm going to start with cleaning up and checking the wiring properly shrink wrapping connections and taping it up neat and then I'm going to check for air leaks and go from there I think seeing as I know the carb/reeds need done anyway but that has to wait till I got some spare funds haha

Edit: yeah I have decided to see what I can do to get it running for my upcoming ride and if not i'll have to ride my spare lower powered bike, and i'll save a bit and take engine and do all the leakdown test reeds pwr valve clean/check and all that all at once
