I have an FE 501 electric start bike that has been sitting for 8 years. It broke down during a night ride and I parked it as some other bikes had arrived at the house. Now I'm trying to get it going again.
I can not get any spark at all and I have been through the available material on the website. So what am I missing?
Can the coil be tested? How do I determine if bad?
I replaced the 12V Lead acid battery with a Lithium Iod battery
stator values:
red-black =2950 Ohm and 40V VAC at cranking(supposed to be 30-35V)
green-black = 167 Ohm and 2 VAC at cranking (supposed to be 3V)
spark plug resistance 5250 Ohm (supposed to be 3500)
I disconnected the orange from coil which should be kill switch, it makes no difference.
Below is an old post from 2006 and I tried following this post and advice from JoeUSA

Disconnect the cable connection between the pigtail coming from the CDI box (under the frame tube over the top of the engine) and the pigtail coming from the ignition stator. Its tricky to do, I use a real small thin screw driver blade to release the lock tab .
Measure the Red to Black resistance on the Stator pigtail, it should be 3000 ohms +- 300 ohms. I use straightened out small paper clips to put into the pigtail sockets to make a good connection.
Measure the Green to Black resistance, it should be 260 ohms +- 26 ohms.
Switch your multimeter to ACV, and measure the Red-Black voltage while kicking the engine over. It should be 30-35 VAC, anything less than 25 VAC will not start.
Measure the Green - Black voltage while kicking the engine over. It should be about 3.0 VAC.
Unscrew the spark plug cap from the high tension wire and measure its resistance. It should be ~ 3500 ohms
Thank you
