just wondering if anyone knows the resistance figures in the magneto for me 250 and just wondering does anyone have a spare four prongned plug around where there fuel pump is just has nothing to plug into and just wondering if anyone else has a plug not plugged in? cheers boys and maybe girls.. GUY
Alternator windings are 0.36ohm +/- 20%, Ignition pickup coil 230ohm +/- 20%, as for the rest I can't help..
this is some bullshit is there anything yous dont know im loving this site especially coz of the manual for these things is a mess.. cheers buddy one quick question also if my magneto is playing up will it A: run fine until the magneto gets hot then stop and then wait for a minute or two then when its cooled down a bit it will perform perfect again? B: not create enough charge to keep fuel pump going? not sure my bike runs perfect for about 1 km then just dies wait for a minute or two then fire her back up and it will go fine for another km then die again any ideas would be sweet. Cheers
Guy, Will the bike idle for longer than it takes for you to ride a klick? I'm thinking fuel starvation. Meaning you are running off the fuel in the bowls and then there's none. Your fuel pump may be acting up, may have a restriction, gas tank my not be venting properly.... Doubtful that its electrical, but I wouldn't rule it completely out.
Crook batteries and charging systems will also cause problems with stopping but is sounds more like a fuel problem seeing as it starts again shortly after stopping. AS FZR DUDE says, check for restricted fuel lines, filter or tap or faulty pump.
My 3LN does something similar. It runs fine while riding, but when it comes back to idle it may stall, or when I go to take off from idle it might stall.
brand new fuel pump carbies are spottles inside all channels and jets clean as a wistle yer it will sit there and idle all day if you leave it. i have been told that the magnetos can get hot and play up and it will do this exact same thing and all fuel lines are brand new and have ridin it with the lid open on the tank no different adjusted floats levels every way no different its givin me the **** its. this will have nothing to do with low compression if it ran so good to start with? cheers
Okay, armed with this new info, I'm going to side with you that we have an electrical gremlin. First off, check the connection at the ignition switch. Next check the voltage of the battery @ idle, 3K, 8K, and 10K rpms. Lastly take all the plastics off, disconnect the headlights and at night with the lights off, start it up and trace as much of the wireing harnes that you can to look for arc-ign. I'm now thinking you have a loose connection. Another question please..... When you take the bike out, does it die at the same distance every time? Does it only do it once or repeatedly?
Take a spare spark plug with you for a ride, when engine cuts out, quickly pull a lead off and put on the spare plug. Earth the body of the plug to the metal of the engine and try to start. If there is a spark and the bike does not try to start then it will point to a fuel problem, no spark then it will be either a battery, rectifier/regulator or CDI problem.

it will go roughly the same distance each time but i did start to cut it short the distance that is coz i didn't want to get stuck anywhere too far away as my bike is unroadworthy and unregisted and cops love me town (bloody Rebels) it would always make it further the first time i rode it becuase it was cold then once it had stop the engine would defferntly be warmer and wouldn't make it as far as the first time. the person i bought it off said he got the battery for $15 at a wreckers so it could be **** checked the battery with the amp meter and it was 12.38 and while runnig contiuned to fall to about 12.2 and would never rise that wat had lead me to thinkin the magneto..
Toss a new battery in it and start from there. No sense trying to chase an electrical problem with out a known good power source.
have you sorted this out or are you still having problems ? I've had the same issue with my bike. it was the rectifier (i believe). had that fixed and it is all good.
i dont know wats going on my mechanic is just ordering **** and not telling me so i dont have any idea the bastard he better not come back with huge bill or he will be copping a flogging coz i can put the new **** on myself insted of 50bucks an hour and would prefer to do it myself but just need to know wat was wrong with it .so fingers cross he is a decent bloke.. he was supposed to just just decarbonise the vavles and lap them in for me.. now hes waiting on parts from japan. so wat the **** he is thinking has got me but will ask about rectifeir bit. but atleast i will know my engine is sweet at the end of this jezz... cheers boys, GUY
