lineaway Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 You might want to pull the flywheel and check the wood rough key has not sheared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the thinking about that but wouldn't it still spark just not at the right time , the flywheel doesn't seem loose and spins when it's kicked over , thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonboy883 Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) On older bikes, as yours is, I'd hazard a guess, the fall has dislodged one of your spade connectors. We all change a lot of the consumables, but cheap spade connectors deteriorate over time but we never check 'em. Get the tank off and have a look and feel. Pull and check each one, looking is never the same as feeling! Edited September 27, 2017 by jonboy883 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauls320 Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Often the kill switch wires along the handlebars get pinched and short out...would look at this or completely unplug it before checking anything else...Your starting your girlfriend out on a 321...?

fatboyz Posted September 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Thanks for all the ideas I did try the kill switch and will change all the spades I can find tonight , as for the girlfriend starting on a 321 its all I could find at good money , I wanted a 125 really but this one came up local at a good price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2stroke4stroke Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 I'd go with checking the Woodruff key. If the flywheel has moved sufficiently then the timing will be so far out that you won't get a spark. Easy job, if you have the tools of course.

fatboyz Posted September 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Anyone know what ohms readout I should be getting from the ignition coil ?? Thanks for all your help guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 I have to ask if you even really know what sort of spark you are looking for! Them things will only throw a weak blue spark that one may only see in a dark shed! And then only .5mm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyz Posted September 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Hi I'm 99% sure there is none I will check in a dark shed later but I have a thing that goes In line to the plug that flashes when the plug sparks and nothing I tested the coil ohms values but I'm unsure of what they should be ?
