No Spark
Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2006 3:54 pm
Hi Everybody
Just joined and hope somebody who is more logically minded then me can help me get my ZXR400 L1 back to life.
To cut a long story short the bike had a small electrical fire which toasted the main loom (and god knows what else)just under the seat after riding through a monsoon.
Current situation:
New loom aquired and fitted. Starter turns over but no sparks from ANY of the coil outputs.
Spares Availible:
Being my ex race bike I have many parts to swap out, coils, Ignitor box, Junction box, even a new ignition switch because the resistor in the old one got toasted.
I have swapped out all of the above, checked the side stand, kill switch and the static resistance of the pickup coil is in spec. and still no fugging spark :smt013
What I need is a fresh pair of eyes. A start from first principles to get a spark back into my bike. I hope you guys can help.
Thanks for listening
