Re: Help! Bike cranks fine but won't start.

Well, I went through the testing procedure on the ignitor and I'm not sure what to make of the results. Of the 56 possible terminal testing combinations (as seen in the chart on page 6-21 of the manual) only 4 were in the proper listed range. The two that are suppose to be 0 were zero, and the negative (-) on 5 and positive (+) on 3 produced a result of 0.4 as did (-) 5 and (+) 4. Those are the only 4 terminal combinations that were correct. Another 10 of the testing combinations produced results that were all above the listed range. What has me somewhat confused is that most of the combinations didn't produce a measurable result. I wish I had a ignitor I knew was working that I could test just to see if all of the different terminal combinations produced a result.

One way or the other, the results of this testing have me now thinking my ignitor is indeed bad. If someone thinks my interpretation of the results is wrong, please say so. If anyone has had one of these tested before, I would think you'd know more about it then I do. I'm just going strictly by the results I got from my tests. I think I'm going to purchase an ignitor off eBay. I want to thank adrianinflorida for posting the email like with the $55 ignitor.

I'll carry on with some other tests from chapter 6 while I wait for the ignitor to arrive.
