benspeed888 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 have you checked for a spark at the plug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easytigrrr Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Kill Switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warren Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 If the Kill Switch checks out ok and its got Ducati Ignition have a look at the Voltage Regulator. My 2006 Pro did exactly the same. When I checked for a spark I only got one every 2-3 kicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomastomsk Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 can you run through the procedure for checking for a spark and the kill switch,,,do you just disconect the switch,,thanks tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warren Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Yep disconnect the kill switch. With mine I unscrewed the Plug Cap from the H.T Lead (just in case the Cap is faulty) Hold the H.T Lead 5-6mm from the Cylinder Head and get someone else to kick it over. You should be able to see the Spark jump the gap. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomastomsk Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 the problem turned out to be a burnt out coil on the stator,,,thanks for all the help,,,,cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
