I have an 85 tecate and i am having spark issues, changed my stator, got spark, took her for a jazz around the yard, died, again no spark, tested the stator again, still good, tested the coil, good, tested the CDI ignition box, didnt have anything, not sure if i tested it correcly or not,but a new CDI box new is $400, so before i go and buy a new one does anyone have any ideas i could try? Thanks

 

Do you have a manual?

Did you check all the wires for frayed or loose or corroded connections first?

 

im having the same issure with my tecate.... its running and has spark but i dont think its good enough spark.... its running really funny and not getting enough rpms... so when i find anything out ill let you know what it was for me man

 

yes i checked all of that, the wireing is fairly new, replaced year and a half ago, i do have a manual but its for a tecate 4, i have been over the bike looking for anything else, hoping its not the CDI, but i think thats what it is, i even have a second CDI box that came with the bike when i bought it, but tests nothing at all either!

 

holy sheesh, a brand new CDI for a 110 is 30 bucks, guess i got it easy

 

yeah us tecate guys are 100% no dout about it SOL when it comes to spark issues.. its a little to expensive to do the old trial and error method....

I told you i was gonna let you know when i figured anyuthin out.... I have spark now, well i have a good blue fast flickering spark now.... All i did was took off my flywheel cleaned the stator parts with sandpaper and contact cleaner/brake cleaner and blew it out the best i could with the compressor... and the spark has improved by 75% or so... before this i was getting a weak spark and then all the sudden i couldnt even see a spark.. so ide give it a try before i spent money on those ridiculously priced cdi boxes..... By ther way ide check e bay theres alot of parts up there for spark and seen some cdi's for i tyhink 99 or 125, somethin like that.....Good luck to yah man

 

Hey man, glad you have spark now, im going to try doing that to mine, even though my stator is brand new, never know i guess! Thanks

 

no problem bud... by the way check i said check e bay and heres one with a starting big a 9.99$.... it has a buy t not price of 50. just type in tecate on the search at e bay yuourll see it
