Honda Spada VT250

i recently bought a honda spada 250 and am having mechanical problems with it when i got it it could only be run started but it did run and wouldnt start off key i have since bought a new battery for it and it seems i am only getting spark too one side of the bike the right side i bought another set of coils thinking that was the problem still same thing i stripped the wiring back and that seems as it should be according too the wiring diagram i have rebuilt the carbys since getting it and recently bought a set of pulse generators for it still same problem but if i piggy back the coil too the right side both spark nicely when i hook it back to the left side i can some times get a small spark from that side then it wont spark again does anyone have any idea what it could be the only things i havent replaced yet is the regulator/rectifier and the magneto and cdi box need help please as i am stuck on how to fix it or what it could be

 

have put brand new plugs and leads on it just hope its not the cdi box

 

ok so here is where i am at with the spada so far since i have had it i have replaced air filter spark plugs and leads fuel filter rebuilt carbys checked wiring stripped it right back everything is ment to be where it is fresh fuel replaced the pulse generators replaced the regulator rectifier new battery another cdi unit the only thing i havent tried is the stator still same result only spark on right side sometimes i will get a blue spark flash once then goes i tried to run start it in 2nd gear then tried in 3rd but sometimes it will compression lock up on the back wheel for some reason when i first got it was able to run start now cant even do that i dont know what else to try not sure if timing could be out causing problems also cant figure out which is cylinder 1 and which is cylinder 2 also changed coil packs over aswell really am stuck with this

 

yeah mate not good with bikes this is my second but never had to work on them and not very good with electricals i printed out a huge diagram anll the wires are ment to be where they are i tried to run a new wire from the cdi no difference also not the smartest with multi meters ethier but am learning it cant be much else wrong with it now will try and do more reaseach but where to start is the hard thing i dont want to be going over things i already checked

i ran a 12 volt circuit tester over it today and tested the stator wires they light up but very dole power from them too the regulator rectifier

 

will give that ago i was leaning towards it being the stator because using the 12 volt circuit tester the light was very dim as stated before so not sure if thats not getting enough power too the regulator rectifier and only sending out enough power to one side on dc current sometime i will get small spark from left side so that would meant the cdi is working i have power from the 2 positives and 2 negitives coming from the cdi box so i know thats working other wise there would be no power stator is only thing i havent replaced as yet but i still think its electrical will try read up on the manual and see if i can find anything else

 

ok so here is where i am stuck the 2 wires that run too the pulse generators i bought a new multi meter and done a continuity test (beep) test on it and when i put the negitive and positive on too the yellow and yellow/whit the bike starts up straight away but the moment i take the prongs away it dies what could it be

 

ok when i plug the test probes in i get a reading of abit over 400 thats continuity and it starts up but it wont start with any other wires but yellow yellow/white yellow white has to be negitive and yellow positive or it wont go

 

i checked all wiring it checks out fine not sure what else to try i even tryed to hook a 9 volt battery too it and see if that worked and it doesnt work will only worked with multi meter

 

ok so i tryed to do abit more testing on it i wired the cdi negitive earth straight too 12 volt negitive still need multi meter to start yellow white /yellow wires it fires up with meter on but if i hook solid yellow and white blue negitive wires together it will fire up again with meter so thats 1 wire each pulse gen seems to be wiring but have tested all i can think of dont know what else i can try

 

ok update she runs like a dream some dick head before me hit the little fins on the fly wheel where the pulse gens are it has to pass the pulse gens to create the spark i bent a few out and it started like a dream thanks for all you help people

 

lol was running fine not now lol was around my mates house the other week left about 2 am and it wouldnt start checked it out a couple of days later i managed to get it running after alot of mucking around ran like **** wouldnt idol properly but was fine when riding could get full revs and now wont go at all so i did my check list have nice spark from both plugs carby getting plenty of fuel i took carbys off and cleaned them out drained out the petrol i did fill it up the other day and fuel was dark pink so thought that could be a reason still same problem so if its getting fuel and spark what else could the problem be got me stumped only thing i can think of was i may have knocked the timing on it when i had it apart
