Spark issues on my Kawasaki tecate
Hi.
I have replaced my stator,coil, and flywheel and still only a weak spark .
I was kick starting it with my hand (with spark plug out) I leaned on the frame and got shocked and was not even touching the spark plug wire what is going on here ?????
-
Maybe bad wire or ground. Is the ground wire on by the coil? I might be wrong just guessing.
-
I just got done messing with mine, I thought the carb was messed up it was braking up. The coil mount broke off lol.
-
I don't know if you have or need a manual but here it is. http://www.oscarmayer.net/atc/manuals/

Oh check the kill switch maybe that's it,But I did have to replace my cdi,stator and flywheel on mine. good luck.
-
My cdi box is all I have not replaced brand new but my stater , fly wheel and coil are all new . I have done so much work to this bike it's been powder coated .the rear ends been extended had the motor rebuilt and i can't even ride it .
I unhooked the kill switch wire unhooked the head light power just to maximize spark and everything is mounted in factory spects as far as I know
-
Oh, No kill switch or light......Make sure all the wires are ok and the ground wire is on the coil. I don't remember if there is a ground wire on the stater but there might be. Sorry that all I can think of now, If I think of some thing ill let you know. Maybe someone else will help also. Do you have any pics? It sounds like your doing a hell of a job.
-
Don't sweat it you are on the right track and you will get it, It took me 2 years to do my show one.
-
Is there a Tail light on it If so how are the wires?
-
Thanks for all the ideas you guys .I have some pics and would love to share them with everyone as soon as I figure this out .I have had the bike done for about 8 years it was done the first year I owned but ran into the spark issue and it's never ran since so i just put it away would be nice to ride it though
-
I took the stater all apart last night and checked all the wires for cracks or wear marks .I found nothing all still in brand new condition I have heard that a hair Line crack will ground out on the frame .
-
Did you do a ohm test? You didn't have to take it out for that,but it doesn't hurt.
-
Make sure the ground wire is on where the coil is mounted with good ground to the frame sand it a lil. check the whole wiring harness from back to front,down to up lol. good luck,Yes please put pic's on.
