That is what I meant by check the earth to the engine, the chassis earths don't take a big load, lights is the biggest, possibly horn, but the starter does take a lot of power through it's earth. If the engine earth is loose or missing, all earth power is for through the chassis earth if it can. Anyway, spy racing's website is a strange black hole but this https://www.bizseek.co.uk/spy-racing-01403-788956 gives a phone number and address and implies they are still active.
i see what you mean, i noticed 3 seperate earth wires small sized bolted to the engine casing but didnt see a big sized one, will scan the wiring again and have a proper look. I ordered a new loom as old one is buggered and tampered with along with new ignition coil to try as that might fix the spark issue and will go from there.

i think by the time im done getting it started we wont have any sunshine left 🤦

Trace where the thick neg battery wire goes to. Sometimes it earths onto the frame but usually the engine, near the starter. Got a computer virous from that Spy racing website, luckily, easy to remove once you know how to do it. Rather indicates they are a shower though.

The rectifier has a red, black and green going to it when testing dc voltage i have 12 volt dc going to it at all times. Ignition on or off makes no difference



Rectifier then has 3 yellows going to the stator



Stator has 2 connectors

1 is 3 pin yellow and 1 is a 2 pin blue and black so i believe its a 3 phase stator



Stator resistance between the 3 yellow wires 0.5 ohms



And no continuity when touching to ground



I have continuity when touching yellow

Wires together, 1-2,2-3,1-3



The blue and black pin connector was not connected to anything and when checking resistance i am not getting a reading, not sure what that connector is for.


so where does the spark come from on a 3 phase stator?? Is it the 3 yellow wires or the 2 pin black and blue pin connector?

black wire goes to engine below the battery, found it a thick black wire. Starter is at the front of engine. I tried the website on my phone guess i got lucky with it and didnt get a virus 😳

Default Got it running!!!!

Got it running!!!!

the blue and black wire connector coming from the stator needed to be plugged in to a connector from the ecu.

From the ecu there was just 1 connector that fits to the connector from the stator so i plugged it in and got spark!!!

All it came down to was the fuel pump not running due to the fuse needing bypassing (not sure why its on there as original wiring loom online doesnt have that there and the connector needing connected up.

Waiting on the new wiring loom to arrive as that definitely needs replacing and it can all go back together!

That blue/black must be from the trigger coil, which sends the signal to tell the ECU when to provide a spark. The three yellow are the three phases providing power to the regulator. Anyway, you got it going, so should be OK now.
