no spark

Go down to your local Radio Shack and invest in a continuity tester.

spark test that never fails

buy a new spark plug and put the boot on it but dont put it in the cylinder,instead hold the bottom of the plug in your hand a fair warning if it has spark it will shock the ???? out of you.if not you need to clean the flywheel and magneto.change the points if it has any.if it doesnt work after that replace the coil pack.it should be readily available at your local suzuki dealer or bike shop.bill howe

That is very bad advice, I hope you are kidding.

Hahaha. I'm having similar problems with my kx250. Romeo checked for spark as described earlier. I laughed at him, and he handed me the plug. I took it (eager to prove I'm not a chicken ****), he assured me he'd pull it easy just before the pulley hit 2000 rpm. Cured my headache instantly.
Damned Son-in-law.:hmm3grin2orange:

LOL, the bad part is that you'll never let me do that again, and you'll have to spend all of that time and thought on how to get me back.:food:

I took it to the bike shop this morning. I think the CDI is bad, but I don't know how to test it. Hopefully I will get it back with bright blue spark.

I'm with you on that one, I hate messin with 'lectrics. So does your bike shop look at you like mine looks at me when I bring a bikesaw in? Two feet in the door and they are looking for a crucifix or some garlic.

Getting even is no problem. I have to restrain myself from doing ornery things to you all the time.
You'll never see it coming.

Ya, they think I'm crazy. The bad part is that the saw's not back yet , and Tupper Lake is this weekend.

Andy got his sparky back the other day, turns out it was just as simple as a bad coil. But the he decided to shear off some side plate bolts and we gotta race in 8 days:bang:

Well its Friday, did you get it back? I hope you get situated by the competition.

Works everytime but if you want lay the plug on the cylinder and turn the motor over and look for spark.

When i was 12 and started learning how to fix things my dad taught me that and for about a year that is how i tested for spark until; i was showed to set the plug on the cylinder.By my dad.You gotta admit it works.

The Black with the yellow stripe is the kill wire. The kill switch takes that wire to ground to turn the ignition off. On my motor that wire goes through a momentary normally open switch to a ground stud. The red wire is the one coming from the stator under the flywheel? I don't think I would use a different wire for the kill switch, I wouldn't want to damage that CDI.
