so im ridin along on the 250 recon whenshe quits n firin, the way like when you hit the kill switch, only i didnt. i smelled a distinct electrical smell which quickly faded preventing me from bluetikin it out. so i checked the fire, very weak. checked the harness, looked good. swapped icm's with a bud, same thing. swapped coils, same thing. so do to the process of elimination and my buddy not wanting me to split his case and swap stators and ipg's, i figure it had to be the culprit. so i ordered it from service honda and currently (3 weeks later) am awaiting its arrival, but i am still wondering what that electrical smell could have been and whether or not it was indeed the stator or ipg. thanks alot in advance.

 

If you have a manual it will tell you the resistence of each component. You can take a multimeter and test each component and know exactly what it is.
