Eton50 new key 0 spark
 

It's been so long since I've been on this board I forgot my old user name. I always come here for info but this time I'm really stuck since electrical is my weak point.

Here's the deal... I put the Viper 50 away at the end of last season and it was running great. I pulled it out this year and the ignition switch was acting finicky. If I messed with it just right things were good enough to get it running. Never leaving well enough alone I ordered a new switch.

Here's where I screwed up... I didn't pay attention to the order of the wires as they were plugged into one another since the 4 plug connectors were different sizes. Being an electrical moron I wired it red to red... Black to black etc.... I blew fuses immediately.

I think I wired it correctly finally since the lights go on and it turns over BUT now I have no spark. My question is... Other than the fuse is there anything else I would have automatically blown considering how I incorrectly wired it the first time?

Thanks for any help.

did you reverse the kill wire vs the run wire on the backside of the ignition switch? double check the quick connects on the wiring harness throughout the coil circuit. trace the kill wire out of the CDI and make sure it is good.

Here is how the ignition switch is wired.. From the switch to the Atv... Red to red... Black to brown.. Striped to striped... Green to black. Is that the correct way?

which Eton 50 model is it? i got some wiring diagrams.

It's the Viper RXL 50. I just disconnected the black and white wire at the CDI to see if it was a kill switch issue but I still had no spark.

i'll PM you some hyperlinks for your quad from Eton. i just needed to know which model you had. so find your model on the hyperlinks, click and save to your favorites. it'll come in handy in the future.

Thank you Jaster.
