Any mechanics out there? Bought an 87 quadzilla which didnt run. After checking it out, found had no spark. Using a test light I checked the wires coming from the stator assembly, the only wire I had power on was the lighting coil wire (which isnt being used). Replaced the primary coil in the stator, and then I had power to that wire (still no spark). Replaced the coil pickup, and had the correct ohms on that wire. Still no spark, but after changing the coil pickup I re-checked the primary coil wire with a test light, and it was glowing like a roman candle (I thought it was too bright). 2 minutes later I rechecked the primary coil wire again and had no power. Almost like it blew out the minute I plugged it back into the CDI unit. Anyone who knows any info on this it would be greatly appreciated. Only thing I can think is that the CDI box has a short which blew the primary coil and thats why its not getting spark. THanks again!- Ross H.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

Hmm, I'm not much help here as I've never had to trouble shoot an LT (I know, kind of amazing isn't it)... Sounds llike it could be the CDI... I can't really see it smoking the stator coil, but stranger things have happened.. All it would take is to short the insulation in the windings, and poof....

 

Thanks duneaddict- I got frustrated and brought it to a repair shop. Now I'm eager to see what they come up with.
