would make a good vid as she is only 28 and rather tidy

even better she said she wants to spend Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£500 quid on me for xmas ( i was gonna give it a miss )

Wonder what i can spend that one rear shock perhaps

Give the missus a rear chocker for Xmas and your set!!

Told ya so.

Im like Martin said (next post)
I'm glad it is going, cause it's a pain when it is something simple that takes so much of your time, to say nothing of the grief

well she ran for a week - then started playing up running on what seemed one cylinder then rough and no longer starts

i have now replaced battery , plugs , air filter , emulsion tubes + fitted Dyno jet kit stage 1 , i have stripped and checked the fuel tap guaze, and checked the diaphram for splits and the fuel pump is working correctly but she still wont start

i re-checked the HT leads by taking the left one out and fitting a plug in and there is no spark when i turn it over now so im guessing this is the fault

Any suggestions as to what i am going to replace next or if im test the plugs for a spark wrong

many thanks

oooh er. well could be the cdi unit, or wirng to and from it - bad earth maybe?.

could maybe be that the ignition pickup is loose or has been bent out of place or the wiring to it is broken.

You say you've swapped the plug leads over, but have you tried swapping the coil leads over to see if the fault swaps too?

I don;t think it'll be the cdi cos they tend to either work or not...

Maybe you didn't earth the plug properly? You did earth the plug didn't you?

Bad earth on the coil?

Does it crank over ok?

i have removed the cdi and checked the plugs into it , checked the fuse box too
There is no kinks in the looms , No blown fuses and everything seems in order - the cdi makes the nice click ( as im thinking it should )and clicks fast when i flatten the battery , the engine turns over fine and if i hold the throttle open turns over faster fine too - i have not swapped the coils or leads around just lifted the left one out pushed a plug into it and tryed turning it over and it wasnt producing a spark on that plug

If one side worked would it not be enough to fire up and just run on one cylinder?

when you say earth the plug martin how exactly do you mean.?
i made sure i pushed the HT lead onto it securly after changing the plugs but i havent done anything too the coils or leads

you have to hold the outer electrode against the engine case to earth it, otherwise it cannot spark. you *could* feck up the cdi by not earthing the plug.

the cdi doesn't click. what were you listening to? starter solenoid?

CANCEL that i do get a spark - and it appears a brighter one than me .!!!

the click comes from part number $un 82305-000 which i believe is a the cdi

I'll listen to mine tomorrow - never heard it click.....

thanks again everyone for your suggestions

Thanks extra to Martin

- it appears to be the tap or pump

wahey! well done James.

could be a kinked/trapped/split vacuum hose?

Omegaman · Post by **Omegaman** » Sun Nov 18, 2007 1:00 am

is that the hose running from the centre of the fuel pump
