well its not the reeds....

 

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

You should pull the flywheel off and look at the stator. Make sure nothing looks odd and that nothing is dirty. You should also check the CDI box. Youl probably have to buy a new one if you dont have a friend with a 250R you can take off. Also make sure the motor is grounded out.

 

The stator/coils are fine that was one of the first things I checked. I tried the CDI off my friends and still no luck. His started with mine so mine is still good. I just need to go through all the wires and make sure theyre all hooked up right and grounding where theyre supposed to. man im really starting to hate my bike once I get it running its going for sale.

 

well if you cant get it started and want to sell it cheap contact me first lol[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

well, you rebuilt the top end, so its got to be something you did, no offense, like the only thing left that i can think of is the gaskets between the head and cylinder are leaking coolent into the cylinder, posibly thats why the plug is wet.

 

His plug would have had a wierd color to it and he would have been smoking really bad.

crackhead- Dont sell just because you are having one problem with it. Hell, if I did that than all my yamis would have been gone a looooong time ago.lol

 

It might be a coil on the stator. That happened top mine replaced it and it runs lilike did before it went out. And it ran good.

 

Ok so, you said it shut off during break in, so it "was running." And you also said the lights wont even flicker when its pulled. So im geussing that it has to be an electrical short. check out the whole system out for bare wires and burnt or broken wires.

 

I found the problem! I had 3 count em 3 burnt wires! After I get my new wire harness im selling it for 3500-4000. Thanks for all your help I really appreciate it! Here the list of my mods if anyone is interested.
