The ignition switch is burnt, which lead me to the rectifier (which I replaced with a new one) and ohmed out the coils, signal generator and stator; which where all with in tolerance. I have been trying to test the ignitor unit (transistor box) and cant seem to get a spark out of #3 or #4, so I think I am doing something wrong. Is there another way to test it?
After a new wiring harness, I ohmed the ignition wires which lead me to the fuse box. I took it apart and found corrosion and burnt plastic. I am also not getting spark again, after we got the bike running (thank the good Lord! [-o<). So I checked the rectifier and sure enough, its bad. Open across all wires. What is going on? What could cause another rectifier to burn? The stator shown 1.4 ohm across all wires, signal generator read 311 ohms, and the coils gave 3.4 and 3.5 ohms. When I check across the fuse box, I get 1.4 ohms when there is only a short wire.
The guy I bought it from, wired a push switch right on top of the starter and I am tired of it getting hot. The start switch functions (open when not pushed and closed when pushed), so I am guessing the fuses box is messing everything up. But what could burn up the brand new rectifier?#-o
I am confused and already too deep into this bike to quit.
