Yes, i saw that one as well. I was going to buy it but I did not know if the part number not being exact would make a difference. Hence my inquiry. Thank you for looking tho

Yes, but it is not available.

I bypassed the ETC, That was ruled out. I am currently looking for a limiter to try.

I suspect this bike may have a bad speed limiter. The part number for is 4060204. I found this one on ebay but it has a part number that is 1 number different. (4060203). It has the same LR44-2 and says its for a 94 Magnum 425. Will this one work on my machine or do I absolutely have to have the 4060204? Your advice would be appreciated.

Thank you Dave, That is one hell of a library!

Today, I put an OEM carb on it and it did not change/correct the issue. I am now convinced that this is NOT a fuel/carb issue. I also do NOT think it is a timing issue. I am leaning toward electrical so I have a couple of wiring questions. Since I replaced the stater to get spark back (as you may recall, a no spark issue was the original problem) I think it might be related to that. I discovered that the bike is losing spark AFTER it starts. Plug1 picture shows a 3 wire plug with a empty slot. The other side of the plug has 2 black wires going into it opposite side of the empty slot. Picture 3 shows a black wire that I found hanging coming off a black box (I don't know what that black box is for) . So, I thought that that hanging black wire goes into that empty spot on the plug. When I plug that hanging wire into that open slot, the bike loses spark completely. Picture 2 shows a brown wire pigtail that is part of the stater wiring harness. It was plugged into one of the wires going to the headlight. That seems odd to me., So my questions are: Where does that brown wire go? Where does that black wire go? If it goes in that plug, why am I losing spark completely? I put in an aftermarket stater cuz I couldn't find an OEM one. Could it be the wrong stater? and lastly, If you were going to replace a stater, is there a specific brand/manufacturer I should get? Please include link if you can. Thank you

As I stated earlier, I have done all that. In fact, multiple times. I have checked timing marks, cam lobes, valve clearance, checked for clogged exhaust, bad grounds, carb, shut off switch, throttle safety, fly wheal woodruff key, timing chain, compression, leak down, stater, coil, CDI, crank gear woodfuff key, carb boot etc etc etc... no joy!

I'm not ready to part it out yet.

No. its just me. I don't know any local mechanics that are familiar with this bike. I appreciate your help tho. I'll just have to do more research (or part it out).

I guess I don't understand. How can the timing be 180 out? I have the timing marks on the crankshaft lined up with the case. I have the two dots on the cam gear lined up at the top of the gear, I have the piston at top dead center. I checked the woodruff keys to make sure they are not sheered, The timing chain is tight, and I have the timing marks on the stater lines up with the case mark. If the timing was 180 out, it would not run at all...... wouldn't it? Can you please give me more info on how it could be 180 out and how to check it? I'd be glad to check it and get back to you.

I then looked at the de compression mechanism install procedure in the book. I took it out and reinstalled it just as the book says. The leak decreased considerably but I don't understand how I got 200 psi. No change, it does the same thing. (sigh)

I just redid the compression test. With the throttle fully open (cuz I knew you going to ask me if I opened it) it was 200 psi. I then did a leak down test and it is leaking badly from the exhaust. I loosened the valve adjustment on both valves several turns and although the leak subsided, it did not stop completely. Would that be a de-compression issue or hopefully your not going to say bent exhaust valves!?

yes, both ways have spark. You can see it run for a short time in the video I posted yesterday

But if I unplugged the connector and there is no change to the issue, would that not mean the switch would be ruled out? Or am I missing something.?

I'm not sure either. nut no matter what I do with the switch (plugged in or not) it has no effect on the issue.
