aaakev Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) hi lads, I dont seem to have a spark in my beta techno, its a 99 b6. The bike started getting hard to start 3 weeks ago after washing, you could kick it 20 times and it will not start then just go on the next kick. If i stall or turn it off during a spin it will be the same trying to get it started again. Iv cleaned the carb and fitted a new plug, i have fuel, clean and oiled filter and tons of compression. I removed the new plug and could not see any spark turning it over by hand so i held the plug while turning it and I didn't even get a small shock. I did a few searches and it lead me to this forum and so i checked decided to check the stator, I disconnected the connection where the stator connects to the cdi and put a multi meter in the red and brown wires and am getting an average reading of 443.5 ohms, quite near to the recommended 480-480 ohms iv read and just Reading uk motoplats site they say between 400-450 is perfect Any ideas before I put a match to it? Thanks lads Edited August 1, 2015 by aaakev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke4stroke Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Could be the trigger coils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_earle Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Send the stator of to Bradford ignitions to test, Don't trust a multimeter as stators are voodoo magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaakev Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) Send the stator of to Bradford ignitions to test, Don't trust a multimeter as stators are voodoo magic.How much do they charge for that and how much for a replacement? Whats the procedure to remove it? Cheers Edited August 1, 2015 by aaakev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfc Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Have you checked (disconnected) your kill switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesepreetza Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) I had a similar issue on my beta techno 99 not getting spark. I ended up finding a loose ground when I replaced the killswitch. I couldn't get my beta to run at all without a killswitch Edited August 2, 2015 by cheesepreetza 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaakev Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Just tested the coil, only getting between 5-9 ohms when i put one test rod in and another against the frame of the bike, is that a correct reading? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Try removing the plug cap and trimming till you get new good wire on the plug lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
