help and advice needed
hello, i have a 1985 Kawasaki bayou 185 that i recently purchased. it was missing the cdi but i got one and after putting it on, i found out that the pickup coil was bad. after replacing that, it ran and gave out a good spark but it then stopped sparking. i thought it was the coil and i replaced it yesterday. it was sparking again but now, it wont spark again. this one has me baffled and i don't know what to do next but i wont let this one beat me. any help or advice is appreciated greatly. thanks again, Chris

You may have an intermittent fault, and changing all those parts did not actually cure the problem, it just went away and came back. The other alternative is that some part of the system is overloading the electronics and blowing components. The voltage regulator is a possible culprit, as is a faulty earth lead on the CDI. Check all wires and switches on the ignition system. If you can get it started, check the battery voltage doesn't go over 15V with the engine running, this would indicate a faulty regulator.
