86 LT230 need help no spark
so i have a 86 LT 230 first quad i have ever had i got it for $800 needed motor rebuilt but came with all the parts to do so so i rebuilt it and im restoring it customizing and making a sweet race bike with it i made my own muffler for it that bumped horse power HUGE. and now after 28 hours of work into this bike it quit on me yesterday and its getting no spark i used to hang around a bike shop and we had this same problem with a LT 230 before but we couldnt figure it out and we didnt do the job. so anyone have this problem i have power coming out of the magneto out of the pink wire that palsing and not constant power and pluged it into the CDI [or that box under the gas tank im not sure if its a CDI] and there was nothing coming out of the wires going to the coil so i got a new CDI box and hooked it up and still nothing now theres no power coming out of the 2 blue wires that conect at that clip plug going into the CDI. so what im asking is is the problem my CDI [cause i got the new one used] or my magneto? :thanks:

Check out the big 230 thread, there's probably over a dozen wiring diagrams in there that should help diagnose your problem. Just do a search for wiring diagram.
Post up some pics of the wheeler too! |

oh i have been searching all day for that thanks so much man!!!!

Not a problem! Feel free to join us in the big 230 thread. We discuss anything and everything in there, and someone has tried just about everything, so its a great place to get questions answered!
Looking at the diagram, maybe its a bad pick-up coil if you've replaced the CDI? Make sure to go through and check all the connections. I couldn't get my 230 to start for anything one day, and all it was was a wire that popped out of its connector. So if yours just suddenly stopped running, you might want to check that out. |
ok thanks man one last thing on the wiring diagram can you tell me what wires coming out of it are 12volt power and what are the ones that run to the CDI to make the spark?

I'm not sure, I'm down at school so I can't go check on my wheeler which ones are making power, but maybe someone else will know.
So did the wheeler just stop suddenly or did it get progressively worse over time? |

Weird. Well before you buy anything else, go through and check all the connections and grounds. That's what'd I'd do anyways.
So you said you're making it into a race bike, what have you done so far? |
