Eton Viper 40E PLEASE HELP...ELECTRICAL ISSUES
Ok so i'm stuck after reading a few posts. Its 2005 Viper RXL-40E (electric start). I got this off my brother in-law and it won't start. New parts i put on already are as follows: battery, spark plug, ignition coil, fuel filter, cleaned out carb completely, new Key and key switch since he didn't know where the keys were (but no remote for the remote shut down module which it has).
Ok now the issue, i can't get it to start up. The electric starter works and turns the engine fine, the fuel is definitely getting to the cylinder because with the air filer assembly off i can see the fuel gather in the carb. My thoughts are that it has no spark. I bypassed the lanyard switch by just jumping the wires as i saw in a post and it cranks fine so that obviously worked..
I unplugged Remote Receiver Module and jumped the Blue/Yellow wire to the White/Black wire to eliminate that also and am getting voltage at the CDI while cranking so i assume that worked out fine also.
If i eletric start it, with the plug OUT against the block still connected to the coil wire, i get no arcing at all. i have .30-.40 volts on the white/black wire at the CDI and the same voltage at the White/Blue wire at the coil DURING cranking and 0 at no cranking.
i have even tried spraying ether as i crank it and i get nothing. I have tried to read these forums FIRST before bothering any of you but have failed to get it started again. We're leaving for mountains saturday so i wanted to get it started before then hopefully you guys can help. Any ideas are welcome
