Just installed my stator that was rewound by sparks... I still have no spark though :( ...

I have a 99 FE400

What values should I look for from the CDI??

I tested the ohms on the stator and they were at spec.

I tried disconnecting the orange wire from the kill switch also.

Should all of the metal ends on the stator be clean and rust free or is it just the main three? I assumed it was good to go I didn't know if I needed to clean it anymore.
 
Could it be that the plug cap is an issue? You could remove it from the HT lead, then see if you've got spark...
 
Change the cable from the coil to the sparking plug that is a common problem
 
Put in a new plug...

:(

I think its the stator... I hooked up the headlight and turned it on and didn't get anything from the headlight when kicking it

I only get power from the red wire on the stator...is this normal?
 
If the tested values for the stator match the spec'd values within tolerance then I would suspect another issue. Have you tried diagnosing the stator output per the hard starting guide?
 
Yes the ohm values are correct for the stator...

I get power from the red wire to the coil but not any power after the coil...

I plugged the harness in so all the wires match, 2 yellows and a blue that come from the stator which I am not quite sure which goes to the yellow ground on the bike.

It would be nice if it was one of those wires that I am not hooking up right, but very dumb on my part :?

Hi Chad,

Two things concern me here, one is obviously you still have no spark the other is why didn't you contact me directly with your problem rather than put it out to tender as a separate posting.
If you are getting the correct stator readings there is no reason to blame the stator, I ran it here on the test rig before I sent it out like I do with all the others, all was good.
Your Yellow and Blue outputs have no bearing on the ignition side, and as for your head light not powering up when you kick it over you need to be checking the voltage source not at it's destination.
I think from memory your three ignition wires from the stator went into a three way connector block, check the female plug to make sure the connectors havn't been opened out, if in doubt remove both plugs and fit new terminals, i've come across this problem on other models.
Check the Black earth wire from the cdi is well grounded, if all these connections are now good then the only other possibility is the cdi it's self of which there is no test data.

Regards

Steve.
 
Sorry Sparks...

I wasn't trying to down you... I was just frustrated yesterday and was just running possibilities through my head... The stator values seem to be good.... I was trying to hold an ohm meter on while kicking with one leg... if you can imagine... later when I had a helper I got better readings :roll:

I am going to try to cut the plugs off and crimp on some new connectors and see if that does anything. All the grounds looked good. I will probably unbolt the one thats on the frame and clean it up, although it looked fine. If I still get nothing then I'll start looking for a cdi.
 
Can you loan a cdi from any body?, just as a test. Any cdi will do from 99 to 03.

Regards

Sparks.
 
No that I know of....

anybody??

There is a guy parting his 99 501...

if the new wiring doesn't work when I work on it later I am gonna see if he can get it sent out.

I'll keep you all updated
 
Chad,
I had a similar problem with my 2001 FX650e.
It's ether in my key switch or my kill switch, haven't checked it out completely as of yet, hope it helps you.

Hey Sparks, how much do you charge to rewind a stator, I have a dead one. Also any idea what the shipping would be each way? Thanks
 
Ive got a 02 fs650e, same sort of thing happend to mine and is still happening on and off, very tempramental... one day the bike just died on me like ide run out of jungle juice. long story short, had no spark, changed spark, had no spark, held the ht lead whilest kicking it over and nothing, got a rewound stator, didnt fire, held the ht lead again and nothing... We thort the coil had gone at the same time as the stator, whilest waiting to find a coil, received a new battery in the post that ide ordered days before all this even started, had nothing to do, so i put it on, said a little prayer, and bobs your uncle it rawed to life again :) rode the bike for a few days with no problems, then i saw signs that the new battery was going flat day by day, no starter motor, no horn, ran the battery completly flat and charged for two days, it didnt hold any form of charge... bike ran but no indicators or horn, then today it died again.... im so fed up! im going to get another new battery and see what happens... if new battery dies again with out using the starter motor, what does this mean? its being drained some how? and not receiveing a charge whilest engine is running? why would it do this if the startor is new, all wires connected correctly, new battery, being ridden on a daily basis.... i dont understand! and why would i not get a spark because of having a flat battery? its all abit weired to me.... someone please addvise, cheers

Regulator/Rectifier bad??
 
the three wires are connected correctly and the connections are nice and clean, is it suppost to bolt on and sit on bare metal frame? the frames been powder coated in a different blue... is there a way to check the regulator is functioning properly?

cheers
 
disconnect the yellow wires and kicking the bike, measure the voltage on ac volts. should be some present (amount will be relative to engine speed). reconnect to the reg/rect and measure the output (red/wht). should be dc at roughly the same or less as the previous ac.
with the engine running, it should output 12-14 vdc.
the reg/rect should be case grounded as well as the brown wire.
 
i put a fully charged new battery on the bike today, it started warmed her up, went 3 minutes down the road and switched of again.. havent been able to start it again... whilest kicking it over it might fire once of twice but wont stay switched on.... ive checked all the wiring and it all looks ok, i dont have a meter to test the reg/rect im goning to take the bike to an electrishion monday, not sure if he's ever seen a husaberg before:p i dont understand why the bike wont run.... new stator, new battery, new spark.... what a tempramental b*atch! its just so long.
 
the battery has nothing to do with the bike running. it should kick and run even if your bat is dead.
i just reread your original post and realized you are hijacking a thread started by another who had installed a new stator. sounds like your sem stator is going bad.
 
Yea im new and added on to this convo seen as i have a simular problem.... 1st time bike played up, it switched of and that was it, no sigh of spark from ht lead... changed stator and nothing still, thort it was the coil aswell, put new battery in and it fired up.... new battery went completly dead, bike played up again.... now ive put another new battery in so it can run and get its self to the electrision to see why the bike is not recharging the bat when running and the bike took me to end of road and switched of again... fires once or twice whilest kicking over but wont start... its making me so confused.... is there away to by pass all this battery starter bollocks and just have the bike run with no let downs?

cheers

i repeat. the ignition for the spark plug comes from the stator/ flywheel. you could remove the battery and starter and the bike will still run. the purpose of the battery is primarily to run the starter, and on some, to run the lights. if you have problems with the engine running and a newly charged battery cures it, there is something very wrong in the wiring.
