How to Test a Pickup Pulser & Trigger Coil for Motorcycle, ATV, UTV & Snowmobile - RMSTATOR

[@ApexmotoJp]

I have a pickup that measures to spec ( Suzuki 68 ohms ) but does not generate enough voltage ( installed at the correct distance from the magnet ). Replaced it with another ( same resistance ) and twice the output voltage. So resistance test alone is not enough.

[@ZCRAIZED1]

The gap between the rotor matters. There is a spec for that also. In the event the gap was off that can create a difference in what measurement is sent.

[@69VAJRA]

@@ZCRAIZED1 As it is a coil who expand by heat resistance shift, so if its damage, your bike wont start when its hot.....and when testing it while motor is hot, you get another ohm.....then you have to know what range/ohm has when its new/unbroken?

[@savajjs]

The best way to explain, to the point! Thank you!

[@uredskivid]

Concise and quick . Thank you !!!

[@richardsoule278]

great video, I have 2004 polaris 500 sportsman, how to adjust pickup coil closer to the flywheel pickup?

[@natvega1]

Can you ground that green/white wire to battery negetive? Because I found it going to the cdi as a positive ground joining the second ground on the cdi via a 1.6-ohm resistence.... I was thinking why doesn't this green/white wire have any continuety to battery negetive like a single wire pick up which only has a blue/white wire.😮

[@codyswilley]

I cant find my pickup coil ohm specs anywhere online. It's a 91 honda 300 fourtrax 4x4. It bugging the snot out of me. I have a 350 rancher 04 model, 89 300 fourtrax 2x4 and this 91 300 and none of them have continuity to ground with the blue/yellow wire but the 350 and the 300 2x4 did run. The 2x4 needs rebuilt and the 350 rancher needs new case oil drain stripped. I just need to know the ohm specs for a 91 300 4x4

[@CgMouse-c7p]

Hi there, Was wondering if you could help me. My 2002 Honda CBR 600 F sport (f4i) won't start, it's not getting spark and I think it's the pulse generator. I'm trying to test it but can't seem to find the specs for it, mainly the resistance values, it reads 500 ohms but not sure if that's right or not, peak voltage I can't test till I buy the adapter. Thanks for any help Scott

[@Rmstatorinc]

The pulse generator on the F4i doesn't have resistance specs in the service manual. It specifies 0.7V at cranking speed using a PVA (we have the peak voltage adapter available). 500 ohms sounds reasonable, but I can't guarantee that is good.

Hey!! Great vid...a much needed one. but I have a bigger problem...the wires coming out of the Pulser coil Yamaha moto 4 80cc has two different color set of wires...my aftermarket CDI box needs me to know what wire is the pulser and what one is the A/C.....Can you help here?

[@curtiskeil3952]

Will you still obtain spark when bypassing starter relay? If not then I’m really just chasing my tail. Raptor 660… I’ve gone through entire wiring harness. I know the relay is bad so I’m bypassing it temporarily but not getting spark. About to test my pulsar pickup coil next.

[@N54ttv]

Your stator is shorting out my boss had the same issue.. it's a very common issue on the raptor 660 specifically the wires inside the case for the stator short out on each other causing no spark... I found it in a forum after doing everything new coil new this new that you know... anyways there's a few wires coming out if the case from the stator I know you just need to cut 1 of them and it will start I do not remember what color it was red or yellow it fired up instantly after that.. his quad sat for 2 years because of that issue and I just searched a few forums and found it was a very common issue. His battery did not charge afterwards but it did run for a few hours on a good battery and was able to troubleshoot the issue we put a new stator in it later. You could even cut 1 at a time and put connectors on them so you know wich wore it is or just search raptor 660 stator shorting out quick fix you'll find the same post on the forums I'm sure

[@billhamby6230]

Im working on a lifan 250 v twin my pick up coil reads . 248 but no spark replaced cdi still no spark is 248 not enough res.

[@trainmaster0217]

I have a Kawasaki KZ440 that has a bad pickup coil...no spark when the engine warms up. Can't find a replacement anywhere. I was going to try to make it work by buying a pickup coil for another bike and do some work to mount it in the same position. My wires are black and blue on the original. The coil I want to buy that looks like it will fit has wires that are white and white with a red tracer. Does the polarity matter on the coil? My coil tests out a 480 ohms...each way of course. How do you tell if polarity matters. Thank you.

[@vibemunster]

I have an XT600E 96 year, in the winter I lose spark, it used to be below 15 degrees C now below 20 and it won't start, if I let it sit in the sunshine for a while its no problem and in warmer weather, a friend told me its the pickup coils gone out of the resistance range causing the problem and sadly I have to get the whole stator and coils as a unit unless you can supply just the pickups?

[@xxsilverxxfox5153]

[@leonardshettlesworth462]

My distributor is only providing spark when it's spinning fast by hand. The engine crank won't let it spark. But the starter rpm is grate. Is it the pickup coil? Toyota 4age 16v twin cam

[@Rmstatorinc]

A distributor system is not really related to these powersports ignition systems. But your car may have an electronic trigger inside the distributor that operates similarly. This trigger could be a problem, yes.

You could easily have a bad CDI box, also check for a shorted to ground kill switch. Coil specs are available on our website.

Hello, on my outboard engine is trigger very hard to buy, si i removed the coil and with almost same wire made new. Original should be 750-1400 ohm and send 0,5V+, coil i made is almost same but give me just 350ohm.. what happend if im gonna try with 350ohm, can i destroy switch box?

[@coolbreezez71]

Do you know what mitsuba and NC stand for in my Honda 350x manual . Trying to check the ohms on the stator wires . Thank you

[@jasonb4350]

If it’s a two wire does one of the go to group and the other to the cdi? If so which one goes to ground? Thanks brother

[@Rmstatorinc]

If the pickup coil has 2 wires, usually both go to the CDI. One is likely internally grounded inside the CDI, but not externally.

[@ZCRAIZED1]

​@@Rmstatorinc I have a 2 wire pick up coil and only one goes to the cdi and the other to the front of the scooter. It goes to the kill switch and then to ground. I would assume by this that the kill switch is just an interruption of the ground to stop the engine from running. I still can't get the thing to spark after changing the coil and stator. Cdi is on the way but I have never seen a cdi that works intermittently as this one has. Some spark but every other time spark is needed and very weak so the bike hardly runs at all and then no spark at all. A few minutes later great spark and runs perfectly for 30 to 60 seconds then after shutting it off it won't run again. Very confusing. New carburetor and plug also.

[@thilinagardiarachchi]

Hi sir could you please tell me how to hack CDI unit to get engine rpm signal for my digital tachometer. I have 2004 Honda Rebel 250. Thanks.

[@scotthammond5461]

For a digital tach, connect the signal wire from the tachometer to one of the grounding wires from the ignition coils.

[@scotthammond5461]

Or rather, the signal wire heading to the cdi. The not power to coil wire.

Evan thanks for the video. I have a question my suzuki ozark 250 shows a spark for about 4 seconds then no spark at all. If I stop cranking and start cranking again it will do the same thing. Already tested my pulse generator as you show on the video and it reads ok. Any suggestions on what could be causing this. Cdi, voltage regulator, and ignition coil all have been tested on another atv an all work as they should. Thanks

[@umpquahoward]

We have a 2004 TE 250 with no spark, Question is: Is the Trigger coil magnetized or the outer fly wheel "magnets" ? On ours the Trigger coil pick up is. Is that normal?

[@salogarcia2012]

Do the pickup coil turn on fuel pump and spark plug on a UTV??

[@Rmstatorinc]

The pickup coil only provides a timing signal for the ignition system. It does not directly control anything else on the vehicle.

What could cause no spark n no fuel pump to turn on, I already checked fuses n I swap Relays around n nothing change. Battery is new n try different batteries also ??

[@WILLY52368]

On ThumperTalk forums there's an article I follow regarding pulse generators on a XR650L being the culprit for the bike not wanting to start after its been ridding awhile. I've been having the same problem with my XR650L, I'll go on a ride, do my business, get back on my bike and no start. It turns over but its not firing up, not until it cools down about half an hour later then it'll start up again. I get lucky on occasions it'll start up right away if I don't let sit too long but most times it needs to cool down awhile before it will fire up. Some say valves, others say turn off gas ahead of where you're stopping, but I'd like to think pulse generator because others have had success, your recommendations?

[@benhoogland2046]

If there are 2 wires coming from your IPG should there be a resistance reading between both wires and the frame/ground?

[@Rmstatorinc]

No, generally if there are 2 wires from the pickup coil it will not be grounded to the frame. Resistance reading (if good) is only between the 2 wires.

This deosn't always mean that the spark trigger coil is good though. You can have coils that test within spec but don't provide the needed voltage to activate the CDI box to cause spark.
