315 Won't Start

[geoffersgra]

I recently bought a 315 (1999 Model) The bike was running when I bought it but will not start now. It has been standing for a while but has fuel in the carb. I have removed the spark plug & can see there is no spark. The kill switch wiring does not look original but buzzes out for continuity. Sounds electrical. Does anyone have any test data for the stator assembly or is there any checks I can try on the CDi unit. I am not a 2 stroke expert but am an engineer, I was hoping the staying on the bike would be the problem, not getting it going. Any help please

I think the readings for the stator are in the manual which I am sure is available on pdf here somewhere.

I have had a stator go down on mont a while ago

Hi All

Removed the stator assembly & all the wiring. The Stator & flywheel were completely covered in a crud. Must have been getting wet & left standing for some time. Anyway removed stator & cleaned thoroughly, also flywheel. Removed carb & checked all in order & cleaned mesh filter on inlet. Replaced spark plug with the correct type. After much kicking she started so were away. My only problem is that the statror casing has one of the location dowels & a section of the casing broken out. It has been repaired in the past but fell apart when I removed the casing, probably why it was full of water. Being magnesium cant imagine it can be welded very easily. I have repaired with arraldite but feels like a bit of a bodge. Wonder if a new one is available??

Thanks all

Geoff
