Deffo a Speedsh*te

well the speedfight earned its name the speedshite today! after being a pain in the arse on the way to college it decided to not start at all after college, phone was justa bout flat so couldnt ring to find out about my breakdown cover - resulted in a 12 mile + hilly push home! looking at it someones kicked my back panels in and it may have knacked the ignition coil, unsure.

It would turn and turn and turn but would not fire, there is fuel getting to the carb and through it, When i took the air box there seemed to be a vapor pouring out of the carb not sure what that is!

It did attempt to run for a few seconds but died with a bang which led to all of the pretty girls at college looking and laughing ( lucky I'm proper sexy so it doesn't really matter )

Im puzzled frustrated and a little broken any help is much appreciated

cheers

 

Any damage to the coil?

 

dosen't seem to be on the out side but not been able to test it yet, our relationship is on hold because I'm ready to solve the problem with a fiver of fuel and a match!

I'd love to say I only pushed it home from college to save fuel because I'm tight fisted and wanted to save petrol but sadly that is not the case

 

also how would i test ignition coil with multi meter just a resistance and continuity test? cheers

 

Ok...is it possible the coil has packed up, does it spark? Cdi? Sounds ignition related, the vapour is unburnt petrol.

 

The vapour is petrol due to it flooding from not firing up.
Take the plug out, put it in the plug cap and rest it on some metal part on the bike and turn it over to see i your coil's working.

 

Ha ha haa, I suppose you can go down that road, can it take 10-20 thousand dc? Undo your spark plug, hold the plug near the head, press start button, see if it sparks if so, is it a nice bright purple/blue spark? Does it spark with every turn of the engine? If so, rule out ignition I know it's a bit old Skool , but hey, that just me

 

Great minds eh?

 

had a feeling it was petrol and was going to try he plug against zaust i promise! there is a spark there but it aint blue it looks quite weak!

 

Then my son, your first point of call is coil.

 

The battery might be abit flat from turning it over alot, charge it, clean up your airbox of fuel then try again, if nothing then get a new coil, they're like, a tenner?

 

for every few pushed of the button there was one light blue spark but the rest were quite weak! seen one on the net for about 20 quid so will order one with a new cap and a new plug!

 

tell a lie its 13 quid!

 

I'd go for a plug change before a new coil, knackered plugs can not spark well.

 

priced up new plug, ht lead and coil and a cap, 25 quid incl postage! so will let ya know how they change the situation

 

will order a plug now mate, cheers

 

Tried putting some premix straight into the cylinder and trying to turn it over like that?

 

I have not mate I've left it for tonight, can't be arsed with it. I've fell out with it! haha will give it a try in the morning

cheers

 

Ordered some bits

New float bowl I didn't crack the current one, promise
New HT coil(incl ht lead)
Plug cap
And correct spark plug for my model(gap of 0.6mm according to my manual)

so If I fit all of these and still having a problem that will rule out an ignition problem?

cheers

 

next would be cdi I'm sure mate, do you get any voltage from the cdi? I'm sure tbh, it'll be coil or plug...
