1984 Honda ATC 200es - No Spark

[bruce]

This is what I did so far. New plug, new coil, cdi, stator coil. tried starting it. No spark. Tested coil, Bad coil, again. Can a bad rectifier/reg fry my stator coil? Thanks Bruce

[oxidized_black]

yes, if the regulator allows too much voltage thru it can fry everything ....

i don't know if you have a service manual or not, but here's one. might be able to give you some tips and specs ... https://www.yousendit.com/download/UW16NnFQYWJYSHkwYjhUQw

Does that mean my cdi is toast just from turning the engine over? Bruce

[oxidized_black]

not necessarily, i would check fuses. how is the kill switch on it? maybe it's corroded and not allowing it to spark?

[bruce]

Is there more than one fuse? I checked the one under the seat. Its ok

[oxidized_black]

probably just one and probably ok ...

[bruce]

Thanks Oxidized_black, I have another stator and a rectifier/regulator on the way. Anything I need to watch out for. Or just put it together, cross my fingers and hit the starter lol. Thanks again. Bruce

[oxidized_black]

i think you should be good to go. no surprises ...

Our old Honda three wheeler would burn up spark plugs. It sounds like this would be a stator?

[bruce]

b1jackson, I replaced the stator coil with a new one. After I put everything back together and tried to start it I still didnt have spark. I tested the coil and it tested bad. Something fried the stator coil. The only part I didnt swap is the rectifier/regulator. Im waiting for it in the mail, and a new coil. Thanks for your input. Bruce

if it was burning up the spark plug it was running way to lean and getting to hot ...ive had that happen building drag race motors an not only burning up the plugs but also melting holes in pistons ..if the plug didnt burn up first..

Just an update on my 200es. First I would like to thank everyone that tried to help and offer advice. I finally got this thing running. I still might have a valve issue, because it pops when it sits and idles. Anyway It turned out to be a bad regulator/rectifier. Thanks again. Bruce. I think Im doing the valves right, but if anyone has some advice Im all ears lol.
