Hi, i have a sym jet 4 - 4 stroke, i recently took the head off to have the spark plug threads re done, now since i put the head back on there is no spark... There was a spark before this, and i have been told that even if i put the cam chain sprocket on in the wrong place it would still spark it just wouldnt run...
So im very lost, i have checked all wiring, i have cleaned the pickup, i have removed earths cleaned and put them back on, i have changed ht lead and cap. I have fully charged the battery...
One thing i did notice, after re charging battery the other day when i went to put it back on it blew the fuse thats near the battery so clearly something was shorting out so i checked and the two big wires that run into the thing that sends the power to the starter motor those two wires were gouged and close together so i can only assume they were shorting and now i have taped them up its ok when i put the battery on.
If it was shorting Could that of damaged my coil? Cdi?
its just so strange it sparked fine i took head off i marked it all up so it went back on in the right place and now no spark... I found a manual earlier for this bike, and its pretty useless although it did say one thing that maybe someone could make some sense of... -
''The ignition system equipped with a auto-advanced timing device in CDI unit. Thus, ignition timing
need not to be adjusted. In case of incorrect ignition timing occurred, check the CDI unit or alternator
system. It has to check the ignition timing with the ignition timing light if replaced these components.''
WHat does that mean?
Any help no matter how little would be highly appreciated
Thank you |

There was another CDI issue on here recently, here is what I posted, your gonna need to get your multimeter out and start taking some readings.
Aff wrote: | The only way to really test a CDI is to replace it with a known good, but thinking logically this should work:
With the bike cranking (during your 5 minutes of nothing), the CDI should be receiving a voltage from the battery/stator to charge the capacitor, it should also be getting a signal from the triggers to release the charge to the coils, if you have this, then everything pre CDI should be OK.
There should then be voltage coming from the CDI unit to the ignition coils, if there is no voltage coming from the CDI unit to the ignition coils then the CDI unit is faulty.
If there is voltage entering the CDI then something after the CDI is broken. |

Come back to us with the results.
Also get some battery readings, no cranking and cranking. ____________________ Current Bikes:Honda 929RR Fireblade, Honda CD200 Benly (Project), Stomp Z2 140
