220 bayou spark issues
I replaced motors in my bayou. The orginal motor had the 2 sets of 2 wires (4 total) coming out of the stator and the motor I put in had the 1 set of 3 wires.
I switched the stators on the motors so the electrical would be the same. When I check for spark, it only seems to spark right after I let go of the start button. There is no spark while I have the start button pushed in and the motor cranking. I have checked all grounds (I think) & made sure the battery was charged and I still can't figure it out. The thing is the motor I took out ran fine before I replaced but the shift shaft was broke off. Thats why it gets me to think I may have something hooked up wrong, but I can't see what it could be. Does anyone have any ideas that could help me?
Thanks

220 bayou spark issues
Mine is a 1988 and has a 4 wire stator. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I purchased a manual and feel sure all of the wires are connected right. I've even gone as far as replacing the wiring harness with one I pulled from a parts bike I have. The result has been the same no matter what i've done.
Thanks
Thanks

220 bayou spark issues
I was affraid to mention the C word, but if I had to guess from looking at the wire diagrams, that would be my guess. Maybe try hooking it up to start in any gear. That gets rid of the "starter circuit relay" and maybe the cdi won't know you're trying to use the starter. Not a bad mod to do anyway,,,, I like it. Search for "start any gear 220 bayou" should pull up the thread with that mod.
