Title: no spark!
Post by keith pearson on 11/19/13 at 15:06:41

I am building a custom bike with a Savage engine - I think it's an early engine , the serial number is P401-106734. I wired it all up, and had it running . I now have the tank etc all fitted, so I tried it again - but this time, NO spark. It has a new coil and a new ECU. I have an idea what might have gone wrong, perhaps a loose connection - but when wiring up, I wired a lead from the ignitor to the starter solenoid as shown in the diagrams, BUT it only started while the starter motor ran! so I wired that lead to another power source and it ran OK. But I don't like the idea that I have in reality not wired it right, and now it won't go. I intend to re-wire the whole ignition now. I tested the coil, it is OK, so now I will try to test the ignitor. any ideas please?

If you wired it so there was always power to the ignitor, it probably overheated and died. They are bad about that if powered and the bike isn't running.
