ok here it goes again... I cleaned out the mikuni carb thinking it was a fuel problem. A week ago I rode the trike up the street to my neighbors house got through 6 gears shut off the bike after 30 minutes could not kick over the bike. He towed me with a tractor and I jumped started it.
I get home noticed fuel leaking from fuel valve. Made some new gaskets for it and replaced fuel line.
Still wont kick over. Replaced spark plug and it kicked over, ran the bike around the yard and the motor just completely shut down... no sputtering no smoke just shut off. I am thinkin it might be electrical ?
Can electrical problems cause a spark plug to go bad ? I have a multimeter and looking around my spare parts bin. I think I might have another CDI unit. I dont have the $$ to go out throwing parts at the bike and want to take a wise approach to this.
Has anyone experienced this kind of problem and how would you go about it ? All I can think of electrical that could go wrong is Exciter coil, Spark Plug, CDI Unit, or Stator..... and check the ground which looked ok
I am not selling this ATC even if times are bad $$ for me. Any feedback will be appreciated.
I have a digital multimeter and will let you know later if I find an extra cdi unit.
I am hoping its just an exciter coil. btw I know what your thinkin and yes there is plenty of oil in the motor......
