QuestionWayne,
I've recently rebuilt the motor on my CB125 and have put it all back in the frame. Everything is back on the frame, all lights, horn and everything else works. But, I have no spark. There is no spark at the points, so there is no spark at the coil. The frame was recently powder coater and I have tried to filed away the powdercoating around the earth from the battery, and the condenser. The problem with the CB125 is that it requires a fully charged battery to work, and I've tried that as well. Any ideas?
Regards,
Joshua
AnswerJoshua,
-the power to your ignition goes from
the battery through the fuse and on to
the ignition switch. From there it goes
to a junction and on to the kill switch.
The kill switch has a black/white wire
that runs the power to the coil positive.
-The way to trace the problem is by checking
for power on the coil black/white wire.
-If you have power to the coil,
then the problem lies with
the points, condensor, coil or
the wiring inbetween.
Could be dirty point contacts
or bad wire etc.
-if you have no power to your coil
then that is the problem,
check the kill switch, wiring etc.
until you find out where the power
is lost. Just use a full battery and
get a test light or multimeter.
-You should have some spark at the
points if power is getting there.
If the coil still doesn't
fire, check the spark plug and plug cap.(5kohms)
