    77 atc 90

    Picked up this 90 for 200. Previous owner put points in it and gave up. I reset the gap to spec. Sounds close to taking off. When i was setting the points the i was turning the motor over and there was a scraping sound, like the flywheel scrapping the stator. Im guessing that is not good. Plug and wire looks new also. Its getting plenty of fuel.Going to ohm the stator next. Any insight would be appreciated.

    Do you know if the condenser was replaced with the points? You may want to check the felt and replace it if it's bad. Get rid of any old fuel & get fresh fuel.

    The noise in the stator is probably a washer or bolt left over from the points replacement. You may want to add a fuel filter and clean your carb.

    Looks like a neat original bike. I'm digging the tire chains.

    Well reset the points fixed the stator scrapping issue new condenser and still no spark. Ohmed the stator was in spec. The headlight comes on when u pull it but it is very dim, basically a faint orange glow.

    You can hear the kill switch click, when you switch it on/off. Tried with only one black one the stator as that should cut out the kill switch correct?

    Any suggestions? Weak stator? Bad coil?

    Test voltage out put of the stator.
    You can Ohm test the secondary and primary windings on the coil to see if its bad.

    Got another wiring harness and hooked it up and it started on the first pull. So now to get the old wire harness out. I tired tugging on both ends but it seems to catch on something.

    Is there any way to snake it out or do you have to drop the engine out?

    I yes it helps to drop the motor, to get the old out and new in.. don't toss that old harness, it's probably just a break in the wire somewhere.

    If I remove the front and top mount would it pivot out of the way?

    Thats what i was thinking, but how? What changed? Not the correct set of points? The cover seems to be original. If all the parts are correct how does one fix this?
