  1. Welcome to Quadcrazy. You found the right spot for atv’s.  Good luck on the restore! So what shape is it in, year etc.  Is the bike running? I’ve done quite a few bike restore and would share any info on what I’ve done to save me money, and time not to mention that there are so many memebers here that can also help along the way.  So good luck and share some pics of you can.  

    🤙🏻

  2. Sorry I thought you had the engine apart.  There is a gap that you are more then aware of based on the responses you’ve given. You seem knowledgeable.   That gap may have changed from any number of reasons. One being something in the engine that let loose. Small piece of something inside the engine maybe ? Anything’s possable.  I think the swapping of he cdi if yours was bad would have fired up even with the years in difference  as long as the plugs matched.  

    How about the kill switch testing for continuity? 

    Sorry for the repetitive questions, I’ve missed things in the past. Just want to make sure before you go ripping into the engine. Or get deeply involved if it’s something right in front of your face. 

     

  3. The wiring could have changed but you would really have to compare the two diagrams to be sure. 

    The stator coil should read no more then 0.63 on any of the legs.  The voltage seems low also. Also the pick up coil gap to the magnet have you checked the gap? 

    When you checked the secondary coil did you check it with the spark plug wire on or off the coil? And have you tested the spark plug wire as well? 

    The kill switch you tested for ohms... did you check that you have and opened and closed circuit (continuity) on the switch and that it’s not making partial connectivity and not fully opening? The switch could be bad or corroded inside.  All the components inside are made of brass or copper which are all subject to corrosion/oxidation.  

    Im going to look at the manual and see if anything stands out and try to help you out a bit.   I’m sure someone on the site has had this problem and will chime in as well.  

     

  4. So I had a friend that did the same thing to the same bike. And found that the harness burnt up inside the bundles of wires. Completely melted.  He knew right away because he smelt it and seen a little smoke. 

    Did you see or smell any of that ? 

    How there was no protection is beyond me. He wound up changing the entire harness.  

    The stator coil was also wasted.  

    The only good thing it the harness was only $85 and the stator I don’t  remeber the cost. 

    Make sure there is not a fuse anywhere before you go through all of this and download the manual to review the harness. Some models have a fuseable link that could burn up preventing damage. 

    But honestly I would check the tranny first and make sure it’s all good before you put any money into it.  If the gears are shot then it’s big bucks and you might want to cut your loss now !

  5. Ok well that’s good on the other coils.

    As crazy as it sounds it worked on my Honda fourtrax. It failed about two days later but I knew where to spending parts  tg.  Put a new cdi and bike was solid. It basically dries out the inside of the cdi. I put my oven on 225 let it get to temperature and then put the box in for 10 min. It was hot as hell and needed to cool for 15 mon lol. But it worked. 

  6. Has the bike been sitting ? What condition is the cdi in? Is it possible any moisture got into the cdi. 

    Most cdi units fail bc of moisture getting inside. Believe it or not you can put it in the oven on 225 deg for 10 min , NO more. Let it cool off  and put it in the bike.  Crazy but it works!   it’s a temporary fix but will tell you if that’s the problem.  

    Second; have you checked and tested the stator coil, pick up and secondary coils?

  7. I don’t think low oil would make a grinding noise.  I think low oil maybe caused a damaged gear and something is now broken causing a grinding noise like a differential ring gear or  pinion gear.  If you keep riding it most likely will get worse.  I would stop riding and take it apart. Maybe you will limit the damage now and only have to replace a few parts instead of all of the parts.

  8. 🙏🏻True !

     

    I would like to get out there and see it. Me and my oldest have to get on the road this year!  I just picked up a trailer plus I have the pick up.   We have been talking about an out of state hunt this year coming and I think it’s a must of a road trip. 

    So when does your hunting season begin and end ? Is it cold during your season. I would love to know some of those things and maybe a little more.  I’ve had invites to go to Texas but I’m not a fan of hunting in warm weather. Lol. 

    So we are going to make a move at some point and hunt someplace far from home and enjoy the views and ride.
