well a new pick up coil would also be good,plus getting it rewound would also help...but why not just buy it a high output stator ricky stator for 125 bucks and completly rid of the problem?if i had the money it would be the first thing id buy!!

can stators be checked?? if so, i would do this before i spent 125 bucks on something that might not fix it...i am on a budget, but yes i do have 125 bucks if thats what it is.

 

is the power source coil the stator?
and what could make it spark sometimes and then not spark other times? is it the magnets charging up or something? im am kind of lost in this department LOL.

 

evhwg, I had the same problem on one of my old TRX250R's - it turned out to be the stator had a few frayed windings. If you have a Clymer manual it should tell you how to check out the entire electrical system with an ohm meter. That's the only way I had found my problem. An electrical problem like that can drive you insane! It's best to get a manual that gives you all the information that you're gonna need for something like this before you just go replacing parts!
Did you take your side cover off and look at the stator yet? - Good luck and let us know how it turns out!

 

ok....got a new plug today to see if it was firing everytime...and mine is firing every time i kick it over...That just makes it more confusing for me...ahh i cant stand it...

 

A shop manual is $15 bucks and you can get an ohmmeter at autozone for $10. Testing your electrical system will take you 10 minutes and you'll know for sure what is wrong.

 

yeah i have a shop manual and OHM meter. but what do you set the OHM meter to X10 or leave it on standard? i consider myself mechanically inclined but this electrical probrlem is driving me nuts.
i am going to bring it to my freiends to use an inpact wrench to get the magneto off. the dam thing wont budge with a socket.

 

When you say hard to start cold, how hard? because my Lt never really wants to start cold but you just keep kickin she'll come around. It almost always takes 5-10 kicks on a cold morning, and after that it's just 1. Do you guys know what the compression should be on a Lt?
Thanks

 

i am kicking about 20 times and sometimes she will come alive then. after that i just roll her up the road and pop start her.

 

mine starts easy...2nd kick usually, but when im warming it up, it will bog down and foul the plug. I usually have to clean the plug 2 or 3 times to get the thing to warm up. After its warm, it starts easy, usually first kick, and doesnt foul it. I just bought a new plug, and it warmed up fine. But after i get a couple rides on it, It will foul during warm up...any clue? i guess my problem is a little different...im goin to do the stator check this weekend. Hopefully it comes out bad, so i can finally find the problem.
