Well just back in from the garage. Trying the replacement coil. Still no go.
And now it looks like no spark at the points again……

have had enough now. What with the thing not wanting to be sorted and no money thanks to hmrc i reckon it’s time to sell it on to some one who can sort it.

Think a grand is a fair price….

[beef]

had a bit of a surprise today, my mate came round and said ‘lets get it sorted’

didn’t take him long, said battery is fubar and after fitting a replacement on, he declared the coil fubar too.

so gonna order a coil and battery and then see if it works. if not then there is still the guy in place for Thursday.

[beef]

well I have done what I did not and can not afford to do, I have booked it in with a mechanic to have a look at. I am dropping it off with him Thursday and the guy it is going to only does older bikes, so fingers crossed I will have an answer by next week end,

[beef]

Cheers for that Michael.
Won’t risk it then. Don’t want to make it worse.
will have to wait for pay day and then get a new one.

[beef]

Right oh. Will do later.

Would a coil off a gt550 work on it. Got a spare one of them in the box of bits.

[beef]

There is a spade connector on the back of the coil and the blue pushes straight onto it.
The yellow goes from a spade connector to a bullet connector then into main loom to handle bars.

[beef]

there is a connector in the yellow one but the blue is a direct feed to the points, one wire unbroken.

[beef]

that’s what my wiring breaks down as, I don’t have a connection at the back of the coil to open to test.
have spent another two or three hours pissing about with this thing today….

this bike is getting nearer and nearer to the for sale stage

[beef]

The wires are there and connected.
plug was earthed to engine properly. I also tried in a few other spots.
Points were cleaned as well….

[beef]

new condenser arrived today and I am now getting a spark at the points but no spark at the plugs.

are my coils dead???

[beef]

Spoke to z-power again today and got same excuse. “Struggling to find the condensor”

looked on ebay and there’s a few. But some show two. Some a black one and some a green one which appears to be the opposite way around to the black one.

question is which one should I have.

I will have a look at mine later. But i want to know which I SHOULD HAVE.
not what I have.

Spoke to z power today and they have not got and are struggling to get the condensor…. seen some on ebay but not sure if they are the right ones.

as for you guys coming over. I am working Saturday but off all next week.

[beef]

Still no progress on this as I have had no time and am waiting for z power to get a condensor and points for me

[beef]

tango cheers for the offer, but I wont be able to work on it until next weekend anyway.

and to top it off my cx has started to go a bit loopy… all dash lights on at once and temp gauge going nuts when the lights are on. its a bad earth but need to take the fairing off to get to the wires properly,
