I have an 1988 warrior. The problems all started when I had intermitten spark problems, it would run fine for hours then crap out , It would just sit there and crank till the batt would go dead. I purchased a new stator, and installed. It fired right up. I then found that the battery was bad, and also replaced this new, So after riding a few times, the new batt went dead, so I tested and found the starter to be drawing to much amps and killing the batt. Ok this is where things start getting strange, I purchased a new starter, and it now cranks fine without killing the batt. But I'm back to no more spark I tested the stator three to four times to make sure it did not burn out again, this check out ok . I also check the coil and it was ok, I also replace this, just to see if the testing were the same and they both checkout fine.
I pulled out the plug and replaced, before putting back in the head, I cranked it to see if i was getting spark, I would get a weak spark every now and then, but no steady spark. Need help , my question is

1) Is the stator assy supposed to be in crank case oil? or do I have a seal that leaks into the stator housing?
2) Does anyone have the wiring diagrams for this year warrior?
3) Whats next people?

Thanks
Mel

 

It sounds exactly how mine was when the CDI went bad, it was intermitent so I thought it was a short or something else but it was the CDI
