kids warrior lost spark. found a blown fuse gets spark, but weak and speratic arcing only occasional good spark. think I was able to test the pickup off the stator(red and white wires?) at 265 ohms. was wandering about the stator, could that be weak on charging causing said problem?

 

Have you tried a new plug?


Yes it could be a bad stator but they rarely go bad.

 

yep tried fresh gas too, have three plugs. 2 are used, look to be about the same sparking on all three. dought the plugs are all bad. been looking at other posts, seems warrior stators go out some what commonly. would like a way to test it, either by ohming it or some other way.

 

up date pulled the stator out, dam thing has 8 wires coming out of it??? well 3 I'm assuming are the charging out put, three are to some timing for the cdi??? I think not sure, two for charge the coil?? any of that sound right. the three are gr/ bl/ yel, two are wh with gr strip and a red. yel / bl ohm 187, gr / yel ohm 187, bl / gr ohm 374, wh g /red ohm 287. not sure if any of this will help to know whats wrong. off the power wires with ignition on it ohms at about 90. do I need to look for why? seems there should be more ressitance there. just trouble shooting right now. any help would be appreciated

 

Update to what I have found on the quad. The ignition coils primary seems low .12 ohms. Also should the pick up coil in the mag show continuity to the case??? It does ohm good pr manual.

 

do the dealerships have a way to verify ignition coils? This seems to be the likly culprit.

 

actually i believe autozone has a tester to verify whether there bad or not, and yes stators do commonly go out on warriors, if it starts by skid starting it but not by the starter most likely its a stator issue, i think my ign. coil took a poop a while back also and thats replaced.

 

Ignition coil tests good. Off to figure something else. Still wondering about the pickup coil, is it suppose to be grounded? I notice this when testing for shorts. The blue lead grounds out.

 

Well pulled the stater to look and see if it was worth salvaging. NOPE NOTA f@#%er fried good, could smell it as soon as I opened her up. Windings fried, magnet loose which probably fried the starter to begin with >[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]. Some people can't believe the stuff they don't check, not that I'm much better for not checking it myself. Would make checking spark easier. Did get it to firer twice thats it, must be in the wiring. Been unpluging and pluging connecters checking for shorts, or bad contacts.
Could something that ohms out still be bad???? ignition coil seemed off but dealer checked it on there sparking machine and got good spark WTF.
Any one know where to get good cheap CDIs?? besides ebay?
