olyk12 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 No continuity from front to back of my plug cap. Anything special about the MTA cap. 2009 Sherco 290ST Am not getting spark and have tried a known good stator. I do see spark when I place the HT lead without cap near ground and push on the kick starter. What would be a suitable replacement cap here in the USA???

copemech Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) I do not recall there being anything special about them other than a 5K resistor.

cascao Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Try a similar cap from any other motorcycle.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyk12 Posted March 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Thanks All - Discovered a few things Auto parts stores in my area do not carry the appropriate part. Found a great replacement at my favorite Yamaha dealer. The cap was not my problem - my testing procedure was at fault. Now to change the coil as it is the last part in my NO SPARK issue. Borrowing a known good one from a friend - Already swapped the stator and disconnected the kill switch. Again - Thanks for the help Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
