No Spark? Don't Panic!

In this video I am fixing an ignition problem on my Beta Rev 3. I explain how to systematically diagnose and find an ignition fault, how to test an ignition coil, how to test a stator and how to replace the stator.

So a spot of tea & a good informative video should have anyone up and running again! Great job thx!

[@muggins2279]

Been racking my brains over what's gone wrong with my 2013 YBR and this video has given me that motivation to go back out and try to work it out again. Though I think the best cure for my bike was to not buy it off Facebook!!

[@mikedall9527]

Pretty good practise there Simon. I would put a TDC mark onto the flywheel and a register for it also on the engine case. With a strobe light, off the battery and ignition lead, you can then absolutely ensure that your ignition timing is bang on into the future too, should you need to remove the flywheel again. Good stuff. !

I'm still panicking though. I crazily replaced everything power related - brand new: spark plug, CDI, ignition coil, kill switch and magneto rotor. Still no spark at all! The motor actually runs perfectly, but no start without power. Do you have any idea why this could be? And if you know, how do I go about it?

2002 electra glide cranks no spark replaced coil still no fire

[@jakelynch257]

if one of the screws from the stator has been lost but replaced with a bolt would it still work?

[@SongsFromTheSaddle]

I don't see why not

[@mickharman5833]

Where did you get the stator rewound? And how much did it cost Cheers

[@SongsFromTheSaddle]

I can't remember the firm that did it, but it cost £90

I have a question about Dr650 se

[@SongsFromTheSaddle]

I've never owned a DR650, but the principles of electrics I discuss in this video apply to all bikes

Будет ли поврежден компьютер, если он достигнет 12 В на розовом проводе, пожалуйста, ответьте на него

[@SongsFromTheSaddle]

Я не думаю, что это будет

LOL, I thought he kept saying "beater" as in your "crappy run about". Till I read the notes... you mean your B-AAAAyyyyyy-TA

[@SongsFromTheSaddle]

Only if you don't speak the King's English mate.

[@MsBulldogg13]

Came here. Checked petrol. Line was kinked. Started up straight away 🤦‍♂️

[@frazzle657]

But the video is for no spark

[@guysmalley]

Raining in the UK ? Can’t happen 😉

[@SongsFromTheSaddle]

😂

[@carlmelchert6457]

So was it a bad starter???

[@SongsFromTheSaddle]

I had the stator rewound and that fixed it.

[@AndyNunez-uo8pk]

Is it okay to drive a motorcycle with no spark?

[@SongsFromTheSaddle]

Yes. It burns less fuel that way

[@gsixeight4414]

Now i am dreaming its the kill switch

[@buckbuck622]

Norton motorcycle. Wanna buy one?

[@SongsFromTheSaddle]

This video is about a Beta, not a Norton.

[@JohnSmith-yn8pl]

I know a guy that has Norton motorcycle. He lives east about six miles east of Muskegon, Michigan.

[@frontlinemedia4270]

YOU'RE DOING THE SECONDARY TESTING ON THE COI----WRONG

[@caseybailey2521]

No kidding the first thing you gotta do is diagnose the problem 🙄 if you do haven't you got it fixed???🙄

[@SongsFromTheSaddle]

Not really. There are two phases - problem finding and problem solving. Sometimes you can find the problem but not solve it. Recent example - stuck at the side of the road with a dead bike - diagnose blocked fuel injector. Problem found. But how to fix it at the side of the road in the rain? Problem solving is a different matter.
