Default no spark help

I grounded out my coil input wire to to coil ground. What is it more likely to burn out the CDI or the stator?

Are you saying that you are not getting fire?

I get no power to the coil and everything thing else has been checked. So now its a too up between the pickup coil and the cdi.

If you are not getting spark via the sprk plug test( taking a properly gapped plug on your plug wire and cranking the motor and watching for spark OR the evermore popular, insert little brother, neighbor kid,etc,etc...."Hey, hold this.....and see if they jump when you crank on it) I'm sure you get the picture. And if you dont have a buddy that has a quad that you can swap coils. cdi's and the like with, so that you can be sure that none of those things are your problem. I would have to put money on that it is more than likely your pick-up on your stator. I am assuming that this is on your Warrior,right? I had the same prob a few months ago and swapped everything like the coils, cdi's, and such and it made no difference. I called a local shop for some advise, thinking that I had to be missing something real simple, and he said without hesitation that it was my pick-up. This apparently is common enough that he could quote me a price of $85 for the part without hesitation again. If you have experience w/ a soldering iron you can do the job yourself( it is the little black box mounted on the inside w/ your stator). If not, I would recommend spending a few bucks and let the shop do it. I know this was a bit long winded but I hope it helps you.....BALL
