will replacing the main 30 amp fuse with a 30 amp 12 volt circuit breaker cause charging problems 1994 bayou 400

ill check battery tomorrow. I am going to check all wiring again this weekend.

bought a new multimeter...stator not grounded,alternator putting out 9 - 10 volts at idle,39-42 at higher rpm...

not grounded..but only 1-2 volts coming from alternator.I have been asking about the wires and regulaor getting real hot on 3 or 4 forums ,all said normal.the regulator plug was melted when I replaced it.pulled plug today from alternator its melted too. I guess the stator I bought is bad.man I cant get a break on this money pit bike.

well put on a new battery Saturday.been starting fine until today ..battery down enough it wont crank .there is no spark at all when you put cables on like there may be a short or something...... now everthing on this piece of !@#$ has been replaced except cdi unit......I have checked all wiring many times...cant find short................................

yep,engine running

multimeter shows 12.7 - 12.9 volts. it will drop to 6-8 volts for a second sometimes.

1994 bayou 400. regulator/rectifier got real hot to the touch melted one wire connection in plug.replaced stator and reg/rectifier runs fine but reg/rect is still hot and yellow wires from alternator are hot.any ideas what might be.

well I was wrong.its dead again,

Its fixed and running.......bad ground connection

checked valve clearance they are right. A blue spark jumps all over electrode but it is real small.I cant figure out how it was running fine cut it off now it wont start. Bout ready to throw a match on it..

fighting this thing for a month now.No spark at plug. New ignition coil,pick up coil,stator,reg/rectifier,all new wiring.Started it up today rode for an hour shut it off.Tried to start later wont start.pulled plug wire it firing a blue spark while starter button is pressed.Tried new plug no change. It stared a couple times an ran for few seconds then died.Will CDI act this way? The reg/rectifier get pretty hot is this normal?

I purchased the seals for water pump.finally got old one out and noticed shaft bearing are pretty loose.i see the clip on outer side of case against outer bearing.shaft will move towards inside a little ways then stops.how does shaft and bearings an oil seal come out. I cant find much help in manual 1994 bayou 400 4x4 KLF 400B

there was just a small amount,guess waterpump seals leaking.

changing stator in a 94 bayou 400.the oil is milky ,mixed with water.I am replacing water pump seals.how much oil ( if any) should be in this side of engine. there has been ( to me ) a lot of condination from vent tube lately. don't think head gasket is bad it was running ok when it was running. what do you think..

you talking about pickup coil? regular ohm meter ok? key ignition replaced with toggle switch and green neutral lite has always come on when switch is closed.will a regular ohm meter work to check cdi if needed/ I have older needle type and digital type. think stator would act up like this or cdi? thanks for any help.

new coil no difference.bike has been setting 2 weeks now no spark at plug. today I checked plug ,its firing now....any ideas what going on?

I checked coil with ohm meter shows to be bad.I will try this first .where is the cheapest place to buy cdi unit if this one is bad..

yes it has,will cdi go bad or break down slowly or all at once. thanks for reply.

I just read this post,I have a 94 klf 400.no spark at all.was running great then it died. waited a few minutes it would start. sometime it would run then stop reving to higher rpm.what do you think?

been acting up for a couple weeks.running fine then dies,no spark at plug.wait few minutes start up again runs for maybe hours.also sometimes it will run great then it starts losing rpm.will not wind up to higher rpms then it will pickup and go for awhile.well now there is no spark any time ,nothing....
