I have an 01 350 warrior I'm getting no spark.. There is issues with the bike someone before me hot wired ignition, bypassed fuse, pulled e brake and senser... I put the proper ignition in it. I put the fuse back in checked the harness retaped it up. To turn it over i have to jump the sileniod the push start does nothing... I ordered new cdi box cuz friend told me that is my problem. I havent recieved it yet.. Any suggestions? I have meter to test stator but dont know wich wires to test or how to do it exzactly

...I know this may be an obvious thing to check, so just wanted to note:

I have chased strange ignition issues in the past to find that the "kill-switch" was shorting-out or that the main switch (key) was failing.

Testing these switches with a multi-meter is pretty easy.

Another obvious thing to check is the battery terminal/starter connections.

..also before doing an Ohms test check all switches & connectors for continuity.

Make sure that there is enough voltage coming from the battery system (approx. 12.8v).

After testing lights switch, engine stop switch (kill), starter switch & main switch do an Ohms test .

I think that this will work for your bike but not 100% sure.

Ohms testing with meter:

Disconnect the coil connections from the wiring harness & connect to meter.

ignition

spark plug gap = .8-.9mm or .03-.04in

main fuse = 20amp

primary coil = (+) orange to terminal (-) ignition coil base >> (Ohms x 1)

primary coil = (-) spark plug lead (+) ignition coil base >> (Ohms x 1K)

primary coil = approx. .18 -.28 Ohms (at 68deg F)

secondary coil = approx. 6.32 -9.48 Ohms (at 68deg F)

pickup coil = (+)red (-)white approx. 450 -561 Ohms (at 68deg F)

charging (source) coil = (+)brown (-)green approx. 270 -330 Ohms (at 68deg F)

lighting coil = white-white approx. .702 -.858 Ohms (at 68deg F)

Disconnect magneto connector from wiring harness (check all 3 wires)

stator coil CDI= (+)white (-)white approx. .702 -.858 Ohms (68deg F)

starter

motor armature coil= approx. .025 -.035 Ohms (at 68deg F)

relay coil= approx. 4.18-4.62 Ohms (at 68deg F)

i had problems with my sons 350 raptor not starting. the spring in the starter button rusted and broke causing it to not make contact. replaced it and starts up every time.

I've done all the basic shecks but im thinking the kill switch could be bad the light switch works but dont know about the rest? I just got a multi meter gonna check everything with those specs Thank You i will up date the status.. I have put a new coil on it and put hole new fuse block and all in to eliminate that i pulled harrness apart tapped few of wires that had bare spotts.. I put new key switch in as well..

Update i took the kill switch apart as advised and I found 2 broken wires were soder came loose.. Could that cause all my problems? Maybe stupid question but Im hoping to get it running for this coming weekend...

I checked Stator it checked out good!!! Im gonna go get new kill switch the one I have now has got wires sodered inside thats all coming loose someone has been working on it before so i think time to replace it.

...if you have a bad ground connection or a bad battery cable, it can cause this.

Did you check the starter connections & battery terminal connections?

I would check the main fuse again & maybe replace that housing.

To be sure you could take the whole wiring harness off, clean all connections and put it back on the bike.

Then before connecting the positive battery lead, do the groundhog test.

>turn your back & connect the wire to the terminal- if you see your shadow you have 6 months more work to do

UPDATE... It is running but I need to clean the carb it only stays running if choke is held open.. The front side of timing chain is loose any tips to tighten it easily ? but it def has improved a $200 bike is now $400 not bad long as i can dial it all in.... Any ideas is appreciated ... lol

      1989 Moto 4 YFM350ERW intermittent spark.
      By RGS
      1989 Moto 4 YFM350ERW intermittent spark.
      Quad has set for about 7 years and was running when parked.  When I replaced the battery and attempted to start it had no spark. 
       
      What I have done.  Followed troubleshooting in the manual. 
      1.       Coil failed the resistance check so I replaced it.  Still no spark.
      2.       I performed resistance checks on the stator and they all pass.
      3.       Found a bad rear brake stop switch and unplugged it and connected the wires in order to disable.  Now I have intermittent spark.  I believe that the issue is with either the stator or CDI and not sure which.
      1989 seems to be a transition year for electrical.  I can get new aftermarket CDI units for 87-88 and 90-94.  I cannot get ones for a 89.  I can get new stators for 87-89 and 90-95.  Looking at the schematics the wiring on my moto is closer to the 90 ones on the ATV side of the CDI and closer to the 87-88 on the stator side of the CDI.  Looking at part supply sources the stator housing is the same part # for all the years and looking at some of the stators on Amazon that have the dimensions on them both of the stators are the same size.
      What I am thinking of doing is to replace the stator and CDI with a 90-95 one as these parts are all readily available.   Does anyone know if this has been tried before and if there are any issues with doing this.  
       As a side note I also have a 1993 Moto 4 YFM350ER that has been sitting longer but it is located about 400 miles from me at this time.  By doing this change in addition to being able to get parts I will also have 2 ATV’s that are the same electrically.

      Troubleshooting a no spark issue, was running OK, maybe a little rich, turned it off, now no spark. I've checked/ohmed out the main key switch, the start/stop switch, neutral switch, brake switch - all good. It will crank the starter, but no spark with the starter or when I try the pull start. I've checked all fuses and diodes. Swapped battery. New plug. New coil. Swapped in a used CDI - no help. Traced, removed, cleaned, reattached all grounds. Removed things like my winch from the circuits to be sure a bad relay or something was dragging it down. When testing voltages, the orange wire going from the CDI to the ignition coil shows no/very low voltage-shouldn't it have 12V on it? Sometimes I get a very weak, intermittent glow on my spark tester, but not enough to fire the plug. I've checked continuity on just about all wires in the harness. Checked/cleaned/lubed w dielectric grease- all connections, redid a few that looked old/dirty. I've checked the stator resistances, all good, but have a stator and rectifier ordered anyway, will arrive Sunday. I verified that the rectifier has a voltage output back to charge the battery while cranking - 10.5-11V, low, but expected while starter is engaged. What else can I check as part of troubleshooting? I have a Haines service manual, but the 1999 350 4x4 seems to be an odd model, there isn't an exact electrical diagram for it, but found one for another year that has all the same number of wires and same color wires, so I've referenced that. Any hints, tips or advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

      Need help! 1987 Yamaha Moto 4 350
      By P_syko
      I’m brand new to 4 wheelers and just bought a 1987 Yamaha Moto 4 350. It has good compression and fuel, but no spark. I’ve looked high and low trying to find how to test all the components of the ignition system, but can’t find anything. This has a new CDI box on it, but I suspect it might be the stator. How do I test the stator on this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
