Great video man- You're a pro !
Thank you for the comment.
Is the excitor coil expensive ?
I’ve followed every step but I still couldn’t figure out why I’m still not having any spark. I’ve replaced the stator, ignition coil for the spark plug the cdi box still no spark can you help me figure out the issue. Or know what’s the next thing to check thanks.
Joey's Garage door open and then yes aSzzzzzàà A
@@pandemiccovid2643 same here!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even 6 years later this video is the best on all of TH-cam for no spark troubleshooting. Thank you my man!
its videos like this one that make youtube a great place to turn to for help
Amen!
Finally... a point to point process of checking the main symptoms of electric faults. Thanks very much matey! Excellent presentation and advice!
Thanks brother. One of my first videos. So many things I wish I could have done differently and better
Man that was the most clearly spoken and well explained troubleshooting video I have had the pleasure to watch! Very helpful thank you
Will the $100 sports parts get 50-60 mph out of my 2918 SSR motor sports
Md 50 qt-10 scooter. I don't vhave the money if it don't work. Pm or call me at 606-612-9627
I replaced every electrical component on my 49cc with no results. This video saved me! I started testing and found that the old and new spark plug wire was bad. I combined the two to make one good wire and I got spark! The scooter starts fine again!! Thank you so much for this information!
How do u did that how u combine that smh
The absolute best informed video ive ever seen for checking and identifying spark problems! Congrats brother! Youre awesome and thank you for doing this free help video!
You just made a huge amount of mechanics mad as HE**!
I will pay it forward too!!
Thanks a lot! Now we will attack the Chinese baby dragon in the garage with my son and fire it up with your advice.
Cheers from Finland!
I hope my guide helps. Thanks for watching. Cheers
This video has been very helpful to me thanks
A very thorough and concise tutorial. Excellent job with diagnostic technique, and videography, totally well done! I will suggest always touch probe tips together before every continuity test to verify ohm circuit in meter.
Good tip. One of my first videos. So many things could have been done better
Also, for people who don't use multimeters often, DO NOT use the OHMS / RESISTANCE settings on your meter to test anything that still is in a powered circuit. The meter is not going to be expecting any outside voltage to be present when doing resistance measurements. Best case the fuse blows; if your luck is like mine then the whole $20 multimeter dies. Even God wont be able to save you if you do this to your dads Fluke...
Edit: for clarity, the video showed the correct way to do this. I just want to add emphasis for the inexperienced ones out there who might have inadvertently put 12v across the meter leads while doing a resistance test.
This is where I'm almost sure i went wrong!?! Because I tested it by doing the short circuit. But that doesn't fix the problem. Cause everything else in the electric system works! So it's obvious then! Good looking out mydude.
I would definitely trust you working on my bike. I like how you test each part, no short cuts. Really professional. Nice vid!
*_Thumbs up!_*
Thanks a lot. That's really cool saying that. I tried to make it as simple as possible.
Great tutorial. Very clear and informative. I have a gy6 equipped buggy that's in need of an electrical diagnosis and repair and with your guidance shared here I think I can handle it. Thank you for taking the time to help those of us less familiar with this little engine.
Awesome explanation bro, learn a lot from this video.
Keep up the good job thanks
i dont think you needed to check the solenoid , because it was turning over, but i need to tell you!!!!! this video is so well explained that any one can trouble shoot a issue. i think you deserve a Emmy !!! thanks for the upload. the video is long, but so much information. in my opinion its worth watching to the end. no pussy footing around. all great info. i cant say it enough. thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm an idiot. I checked everything but the coil. The coil was bad, put on a spare and all sorted (till next time!!!!!!!!).
+Stu Pot Love it!!! Two wheels back on the road. CHEERS!!
great video, i had the same problem...i found a connector not hooked to anything 2 wires solid green and solid yellow, female connector on the left side..any ideas if its used or not, i have a 2005 cy6 thanks
+beachbummm69 Good question. Send me an email with a few pics. Then I could tell you.
Joey's Garage yeah I have a 150cc GY6 scooter when I gets hot and shuts down and when I cools down it starts any suggestions on where to look thank you
you explain so well, great video
My spark plug wire keeps going and I keep changing it with same problem what could it be its a 50 cc tao tao 2017
i have done everything you have said and the batterys and evrything is ok. I have also changed the batterys still not working. I changed the cdi box 2 times. still doesent work. I have changed everything that was a little worn out. still doessent work. Its a hooper one 45 scooter. WTF am i supposed to do!!
Dude have u change the stator is obviously that and u didn't test it yet or at least u don't say it here
Excellent, been a real fix everything mechanic for 63 years and for a young man absolutely excellent.
Thanks for all that good info!! I just but a new battery for my Suzuki 750 should I still put a battery tender to keep he charge in the winter?? Thanks again
great video joey i wish there were more people willing to help .
you explain everything in great detail thank you some much got my gy6 running (bad cdi) great job thanks again
great video . very educative and interesting . clearly presented...
Extremely helpful, THANK YOU!
So just received my new stator and tested it with the meter same as you did, and the blue wire doesn’t give me any readings….
Edit:
Placed new stator onto motor and received readings on both wires.
Previous one, assuming it’s burned out didn’t have no readings about to check spark
You are the man!!! I really appreciate a complete, well explained video.
Thank you
This helped me alot. I've replaced alot of stuff on our go cart eith no success. Until i seen this video. I had the same problem you had with the stator. Thanks bud!
Just a follow up, fitted new stator (after having to destroy the flywheel getting it off as it was stuck on) and once back together got spark and fired up. Again, thanks for the tutorial as I was ready to scrap it but now it's a runner. Cheers
+Stu Pot Love it bruv. CHEERS MATE!!!! Share and subscribe. More is coming.
Good vid. Should you have taken actual resistence readings though of the ignition coils rather than just checking continuity as they may still not work if the resistence is too high. Looking for about 7 ohms, depending on the bike.
Very well explained Joy 😊😊, even a layman can understand 👍👍
Thanks
Tnx that is what video on stuff like this should look like.nice job dude.can you just tell me about selenoid relay on one side you have connected positive from battery and somthing else on the other you have i assume is the starter motor ?i am building a atv for my self and I struggle for a while so if you just tell me what is connected on each side of relay.tnx bro greetings from Slovenia
Hi Joey, need some advice. Bike was running great but for some stupid reason whilst it was idling I decided to disconnect the CDI (6 pin) and engine cut out. When connected back up wouldn't start so I connected another CDI I have that I know works but still wouldn't fire up as I now have no spark again. Any ideas? New stator still good as did the tests but my limited knowledge has been used up. I must have done something to electrics as it can't be a coincidence that won't fire immediately after disconnecting CDI. Thanks
Same problem, did you ever figure it out
Bmx at coil wire transfer
sorry: up to 2:50 you say you have good this,good that: YOU DO NOT KNOW;you have A LOT to learn; i´ll just say that real life(THAT SCOOTER) DOES NOT WORK ON volts: IT WORKS ON current: amps, or mA; SO,a bad connection( a shaky one!) will give you your volts,but the thing still WON'T RUN. Always use ,at least,a high power(21 w min.) to make sure; a voltmeter draws only micro amps,it's LIMITED ; you MUST use it with things UNDER LOAD(lights on,motor running,etc),you want real life tests!
i replaced my stator, ignition coil, spark plug ,cdi, solenoid starter and new battery and still no spark
the same situation :))
I'd check the stop switch and or key switch.if you have short to ground it will be just like cranking with key still turned to off position
Luis Chavarria Same thing here. Have a new auto choke/cillinoid on the way. Hopefully that does the trick.
what should be the reading coming from the blk wire of the stator
Hey Man, love your videos, they are easy to follow and you explain what things are and how they should work correctly. Keep up the good work, kind regards to you.
Thanks for the kind words and watching. This one was one of my first
I have a problem with gy6 50cc scooter. In rain and wet conditions it tends to run very bad. I changed the carb - now it has shit ton of power in dry conditions, top speed almost 90kmh but... I ride in a puddle and the scooter completely shuts off. Spark plug is new and works, tightened properly so where is my problem, I can not figure it out with my skills. It i clearly an electrical problem. Thanks in advance.
Check the wires to see if they have any damage it sounds like to me when ever u go through water or something it's shorting everything out it might even need a new wiring harness if all the important wires are damaged
How did you end up fixing that part that was wrong on the magnets?
Can't be fixed... You buy a new Stator... Install and simply plug it in to the existing outlet.
Did you replace the stator coil? I have the exact problem and I wondering if I could wrap it with electrical tape?
+Justin McCollum Replaced it, twice. In the end, put the wrong size screw which was tearing up the stator. Operator error.
Oh ok that's good to know because I almost did the same thing with putting a longer screw in. The reading should be about the same voltage as the battery right?
Great video thank you for sharing you are really good with the scooters :-)
virberello i need your help with a 2008 scooter no spark
Same here. I try and answer as many as I can. But with hundreds coming in, it’s hard.
Believe it or not Joey I got an issue with no spark and I'm going to follow your instruction guide step by step thanks for sharing buddy. Haven't seen you in awhile you just posted a video yesterday I think on brake drums. Need to watch that. Thanks again
I hope the guide helps. If not, let me know. I’ve been on a break lately from the channel. The summer has kept me inside. Now that it’s cooling down, I have a bunch of projects to do. As always, I really appreciate the comment and hearing from you as well. All the best.
Hey joey
Great videos,keep up the good work
Thank you for watching and the kind words. Share the video online; knowledge is power.
Great video joey leaned a lot thanks mate keep up the good work
+Gary Patterson Thanks for watching!!! cheers
you are a life saver when it comes to scooters I like that showing it helped me a lot thank you so much for your help thanks agin,,
Awesome video. Well shown and explained. Like how you show settings on the multimeter.
amazing video,great explanation
+ANACONDA AN Thanks brother.
Just took a peek and it was easy to follow.nice job,think you might want to check clearance issues with that magnet drum.somethings out of wack and hitting that stator.just saying might be out of round or loose to do that damage in only one spot.keep them coming.!!!snookie pa.
Accidentally using one or both of the 2 longer screws used to hold the fan shroud on, instead of the 4 slightly shorter screws that holds the fan on (see 15:48)... is what can do that damage.
At 15:37 he skipped through the removal of those 2 slightly longer bolts (you can see one of them in the upper left corner at 15:42.)
That results in the 'shredded' appearance. The tip of the bolt, can poke through the backside; gouging the black covering and windings when the starter turns it.
Subsequently a no start.
It is 'possible' to wrap it with a bit of black tape, to get you through for a little while in a pinch...
A better design would prevent this from potentially happening.
.
Not sure why you have included the Starter Solenoid since it has nothing at all to do with your ignition system issues. When you hit the start button and the engine turns over you know the solenoid is working. Pretty good other than that.
I included it because for someone could be a point of failure. And thanks for the comment
hmm i think im gonna try these steps on my Chinese quad since its has no spark
Give it a try. Steps should help you find the problem. Thanks for watching
Somebody show methe wires are butchered and I bought a new Horner's to be installedyou could send that to Bryant Bryant Hawks Hawks number 2 at gmail.comand now it would be all small Captain's all the help would be appreciated a video on how to wire a quad four-wheeler
Thanks for the vid, working on the ATV now and have yet to figure if it is the stator or not yet, trying CDI first, since it is the easiest and quickest fix. Good thing is it is under warranty. Company sending me the part, no biggie there to install. If it is the stator then that's another story.
hey man..thanks a lot..
I am finding the same thing, with no power thorugh the red cord. so i think it smy stator like yours. I have taken off the fan cover but cant quite get the flywheel off. i don thave an impact wrench or the flywheel puller tool yet
Flywheel puller is a must for the job. If you don’t have one, it’s not coming off
thank you for this video
can someone help me out.. I put high performance plug, wire and Cdi now it wontstart. it's dragging like there aint enough power.. my battery is all good
I would say, go back to the original parts, and make sure everything is good. Then upgrade parts one at a time testing for function and reliability. Lesson I learned the hard way. Don't try multiple upgrades at once.
But you did not test the spark plug on its own!
+Bob Eden Thought I did check the resistance of the plug. It's very small, but possible.
This is a really great video. Thanks for taking the time to produce this, it is very much appreciated.
thanks
Great video! I'm familiar with testing no spark on a car but bikes have slightly different parts, etc, so this video was a great orientation for me. I'm about to help a friend with his scooter that has no spark after someone tried (unsuccessfully) to hotwire it.
Dude, in the video you were advising us about referencing which wires go where on the coil. Thank You! That was it! I feel dumb! My Hammerhead GTS 150 dune buggy WILL LIVE AGAIN!!
Hi mate, does all chinese 50cc scooter has the same kind of stator? Thanks you very much.
I don’t think so. I’m sure probably similar. But not 100% sure. I’ve have only worked on 150cc.
gy6 dune buggy i tries to start the engine with the key and every time i go to shut it off it starts up real quck an shut off please help
Did all the electrical checks work?
what do i do if my scooter has no spark and shows that i dont have gas and oil, but i have both full tank. i was just casually drivinf and it turned off in middle of the road
What if i tested my solenoid and when i test the starter wire, (the one that u can only get the reading when you push the starter button) it reads 9.5V ? I got a brand new battery but i didnt have an old one to match up a model number to. Maybe i didnt get a strong enough battery? Or maybe my batterys low?
That’s what I’m thinking. Battery is not strong enough
It was a faulty killswitch wire for me. I cut the wire and tied it together.
Love the way you explained it more than once. If you explain it like you did, it’s easier to remember when you are actually trying to figuring things out! Very helpful video.
A
Please everyone, Don’t ground ever to your carburetor. I know it maybe a small chance to blow yourself up but why risk causing a spark and having a bad!
Thank you for the great video!
I can't wait until work is done so I get to go home and go through this process of troubleshooting. I'm newer to this and after beating my head into the wall over and over, this video gives me hope that I can finally figure it out. Thanks in advance!
awesome video man! though im still stuck. the part where my stator should be connected to the wiring harness does not have the right conmection plugs. the wiring harness asks for 3 wires instead of the 2 coming from the stator! help please xD
Just took my 08 Jonway gy6- 49cc for a ride after i installed $16 racing chip & $6 racing coil.
50 mph. 👍
Will same parts work on my 2019 tao tao pony? Can u send link if so? Thanks
Sir my yamaha crypton has no spark sir. The primary coil has spark but the spark plug has no spark can u help me sir.
Have you tried replacing the spark plug? And is it getting electricity during testing. If juice is getting to coil. The next point of failure would be the actual plug or spark plug
At end of video did you actually replace the stator with a new one or repair old one in some way? It wasnt clear what you did to get the spark plug working again. Thanks.
New stator. They are very hard to repair.
@@JoeysGarage Great thanks for the quick reply. Do need a special tool to remove flywheel or can you jimmy it off somehow?
WOW....after searching videos all week,,,,,,this was the "hands down" best troubleshoot video.....thankyou Joey..........Brian Jones NCSU mechanical engineering 95
It was CDI box...I'm a total Newb...thanks
+Austin Nichols Hey. Thanks for watching and hoped it helped. Share the link, it's a good resource
Thank you so much for your knowledge, I’ve definitely benefited from you. I’m building my own pit bike/motorized bike 🚲💨💨💨💨💨 and I’m wiring up lights brake lights etc. again thank you 👍🏿👍🏿
Thanks for the videos bro I fixed it thanks to you
Very therole & very helpful video !!! Thank you !!!
New subscriber..nice tutorial. Im a newbie .your video helps me a lot .
Happy to hear that, and thanks for subscribing. Through the years I have bounced between several topics of the channel.
Great tutorial. Thank you very much. I hope one day I'll get a chance to help you too, or help someone else and tell them that I learned the tricks from you :)
Sir please help
Effin amazing im having trouble with my yamaha vstar 650, just replaced my stator but still not getting spark.
Hi Joey! So how much resistance should we get from a good exciter coil? Im also having a spark problem but my reading is at 456 ohms from the exciter.
This is probably the best video I've seen on this subject Thank you
Ur video helped me very much thank you
I definitely downloaded this video and subscribed to your channel Joey..!🙂👍 I have a question Joey I own a 2020 boom gy6 50cc scooter I took it to the car wash after completing the wash my scooter wouldn't start I was towed home it's been 4 days out in the sun still not starting 2 things keep coming to my mind I washed off my gas cap could water of gotten in the gas tank ...? And the other thing I keep thinking is my kill switch because in the off position I'm able to turn the engine over but it dont start of course does the engine suppose to turn over while the kill switch is in the off position..? I did check for spark and gas the two seem to be working after I finished my wash I remember my scooter back fired plz help me joey if you can thanks man
Hey there Joey I love everything you do and love your channel. But I have a serious question, i have a 2017 TaoTao 150 Powermax and need to replace my exhaust but I do not want to buy a OEM one because of the cheap and undependable they are. My only problem is that I do not have the ability to modify one to make it fit. Do you know of any particular exhaust that will work on this model without being modified? Please help me Mr.Joey, if you can. Thanks so much and keep up the great work!!!
I bought an aftermarket one from Alaliba and absolutely love it. It’s a straight pipe and the noise is magical. When buying, study every bend to make sure it fits, then it should be just bolt on
you vatsapp telefon number speak . im captiva 2013 model aracimda rolantideyken tak tak ses geliyor sizin aracta ne yaptiniz duzeldi? durdugumda arada 4 kez yapiyor cevap lutfen.
Hey joey
I a 150cc
Just over 1000 miles
I’m having a issue
Just did a valve adjustment
It started on the center stand
Once let it down
I drove it about 4 houses
Then it died
I put back on center stand it runs
Any suggestions
I think it’s electrical
If it runs on the stand, but not under load, sounds like the engine or CVT. Since you just did a valve adjustment I would check them first. Make sure your adjustments are good and you did it correctly
Pls Help me a little bit & Thank you for the video. It is helping me out a lot. I have a question about the Pick up coil wire and the exciter wire on my GY6 motor ATV.. They seem to plug into wires with different colors on the ATV harness.
Blue / white stripe (pick up coil) - question... This changes to Yellow + ?. Where does this wire come from? My ATV seems to be missing a wire for this...
Red / black stripe. (Exciter Coil) - plugs into Red & white stripe ?
Any idea? I could not see this in your video...
Do you have video about connecting gas line to the carburator and vaccums?
+Barnard Deoso No I do not. U have a problem hooking something up?
Amazing instructions on diy "how to" Joey! You've single handedly help me start a repair shop. I started with an old Tomberlin 150cc that was neglected for years and I brought it back to life.
Now I'm working on a "DC" Hammerhead Twister GT 150 that was in a fire. I'm changing the whole setup from DC to AC. I'll keep you posted on how it's going.
hi i cant find the video of the stata is there any chance u can upload it again
+Matthew Cook Sorry, u lost me. Which video?
Very good video, fixing my bike myself, so this helps alot, how costly is a stater?
Awesome video! You’re really savvy 👏🏻👏🏻 Thank for sharing your knowledge 👍🏻
Just subscribed the other day, great video, love the multimeter insets as you go thru the steps. Good work man.
That's throwing parts at it not diagnosing it.
How about resistant and continuity testing on the coil?
How about some pin outs and resistance tests ok the cdi ?
What's the air gap on the stator pick up???? Like bro this was the most unhelpful video I've seen this month
Really appreciate it, just purchased a Maddog trike yesturday and that was my issue and I got it for really good deal so that I help me out even more. Great video.👌🏾
So I had the ohms reading on 200 for the red and black stator check, it gave me 1 on reading the line for cdi. However when I turned it to 2000 it gave me 500 reading. Does this mean it's still bad? Is 500 too much or is it accaptable
great video to go through the whole electric line, but if the stator goes bad, isn't the battery providing juice for spark. Symptom of a bad stator is not to have no spark, but to have a depleted battery and no juice whatsoever after a while.
That’s a good question. I’m not sure.
Reference the CDI, what spare are you mentioning? I’m trying to diagnose why my 2007 Triumph T 100 Bonneville is not getting any spark.
Looks like 1 of the 4 fan bolts was too long and nicked the coil.
Exactly what happened. Went through 2 expensive stators before realizing that fact
Started work in a motorcycle shop when I was 14 and saw a guy try to pull a flywheel with a 3 arm puller but he screwed one of the arm bolts in a little too much and when he hit the center bolt with an air wrench it spun just a little and did the same thing. So I learned that one young in life. Me and my partner are thinking about moving to Florida and opening a scooter rental and service center. Sorry I did not see your video sooner may have saved that 2nd stator. Good luck with the GY6's.
very nice video. that was detailed and informative. loved it no swearing or bad language. my children were right next to me and I didn't have to worry about it. Thank God. now I just got to get this icebear running. haha thanks man Godblessed.
I tested my stator, the red wire has reading but the blue wire doesn’t. I got a brand new stator and still no spark so I went to test it, got readings on the blue wire but not the red wire.. do you think I have faulty stator ?
I replaced the Stator, CDI and coil on my GY6 150cc scooter due to it having weak intermittent spark and it still has intermittent weak spark. Only thing that I can think of other than the wiring harness is either the Kill switch, Key Switch or Voltage regulator or a combination of all 3. It's a 2008 Roketa and I can not find a new Voltage regulator for it because it has a non standard 6+1 wire connector.
Yeah, thank you, so much. I've replaced every aspect of those wires, but for the stater - no spark. I really don't want to go through all that stuff.
Time consuming, but that's my guess, now. The stater is bad. I've had the scooter x 1 year, brand new. I've replaced a whole bunch of parts trying
to diagnose how it went from a fractured vacuum line from EGR to exhaust replacement, to not starting, at all. Replaced battery, gas line, checked vacuum x gas,
the CDI - is next thought I replaced the six port somethin' somethin' last week. I know more about the anatomy and physiology of the scooter than I do
about peeps - M an RN. This has been an exercise in tenacity and patience I didn't bargain for.
