I know that as of today this vid is almost 4 years old, I watched it when it was new. I just bought one and this information was priceless. Sometimes you never know when you'll need information like this and knowing where to look is key. Thanks Harvey.
You are the best teacher I have seen on thje net!! Thanks Harvey!
Thank you!!! I just got a brand new wiring harness for my 110 and installed it and it had no spark, so I got to 111 in your video and saw the part about the yellow black wire on the cdi going straight to the coil, and looked over my wiring again and saw that I had the cdi plug plugged into the hand control and the hand control plugged into my cdi, now I’ll change em around. Thank you so much, your a life saver
Damn! After all these years I finally understand it! Presented in the Exact format in which I learn. Thanks!
By the way thanks for the video on wiring that up. U the only person i have found that knows what he is talking about when u are explaining your technique!! Thanks again bro
I like the way you explained with the basic 12 V with the scooters and the quads doing a good job I've been mechanic for years and just started playing with the scooters and these Chinese wiring is so undependable keep up the good work you got my vote
I have an Alpha Sport Cobra 180. I was told all it needed to run was a new wiring harness. I was given two harnesses with it. Hopefully, the information you provided here will help me get closer to getting my quad to run.
Awesome info. Great to have someone such as yourself able to explain things in simple english.
Dude, you ROCK! I can't find shit for info on these until I found your video and got a deep understanding. Can't thank you enough for making this video!!!
I just snagged a SUNL ATV-109 today from a co-worker that needs to have the battery charged, carb cleaned and a good romping to clean out the cobwebs. Maybe not in that order.
He also told me that it runs great for about half an hour, then it shuts off and wont start again until it cools down. I've watched a couple other videos and done some research but your video not only laid things out better than everything else but also made more sense.
Thank you!
Hey INECIKlavier!!! Sound like U got a great deal!!! About heating up and shutting down, could be Ur CDI or spark coil, but, before U mess with them, I would make sure the gas flow into the carb is good, I have running across a few smaller China carbs where the bowl fills very slowly, especially when the motor gets hot, had something to do with the float needle valve, I just swapped them out.... Good luck with Ur new ATV, enjoy it!!! Thanks for the info, encouragement, watching, and commenting!!! Please let me know how it all turns out....
Once again I come to you for instruction,your the man Mr. Spooner! THANK YOU VERY MUCH AGAIN!
I have one that has a green ,blue and white , a black and red and two yellow where do or what to I hook the to yellow up to
Mr Spooner you are very kind for sharing your expertise on this topic.. keep it up. And thank you.
Hey Randall!!! I'm just trying to keep as many ATVs out of the junk yard as possible, even if they were made in China!!! Thanks for your kind words, encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!
Harvey Spooner got a 07 Manco talon 260 .. been trying to get this thing running consistently.. replaced all components. Even bought the dc Cdi that you use haven't hooked that up yet.. what a headache
This is an awesome video especially for someone that might not understand ignition systems too well. You're a great teacher and well thought out. I'm subscribing!! "It's a good idea if you like getting hurt because it's probably gonna break and you're probably gonna crash so... whatever gets you through the night I guess."
I have this engine with the same electricle problems but it has a 50cc head instead of a 70cc or 110cc head! But thanks for helping me fix my engine!
Harvey thank you,I bought a Honda 110 for fifty dollars . Pretty much complete. It even had the tools,that are kept on the frame .The fenders were just faded a bit. I could not get spark I worked on it for about 6 hours and I came watched your video and you said you got no ground you got nothin. So I ran ground wires everywhere and by gosh I got spark and it started up right away. I thought it was grounded all ready but it wasn't. The bike had set in a Barn for over 15 years . Just think just because of a Ground wire . Thank you. Oh I also have a little Chinese quad 110 and a 250 They are okay could be better if they made their frames stronger. I
Hey Lonnie!!! I love hearing stories like this, another Honda ATC saved from the scrap heap.... Good job taking the time to figure everything out!!! Thanks for the info, encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!!
Once again Harvey, I'm up and running thanks to your tutorial !! You are da man !
Hey Bruce!!! The next version, the newest generation of the portable CDI system is under development, it is high performance and rechargeable.... I should be putting a video up on it soon, stay tuned!!! Thanks for Ur encouragement, kind words, watching, and commenting!!!
Are you kidding me, I wish I could pay back the knowledge and experience that you so graciously give away, I USE these vids in place of a service manual, do you have any idea what those cost?!?!? Thank You Harvey, don't thank me I only profit from the tips and short cuts, by not having to pay a guy to sell me advice, with a fraction of your wisdom and know how.....you're much appreciated !!
Hey Bruce, Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement!!! Thanks also for Ur thoughts, watching, and commenting Bud!!!!
Very good Professor, you know your wiring inside and out. I have taken notes. Take care
Rusty, I have ATV wiring down pat, I just need to work on my fabrication skills, that is what I learn from you!!! Thanks for the kind works, watching, and commenting!!!
Awesome ! Seriously, thanks bro. I wished I found this videolike two weeks ago
I'm sure many people will have lots of fun on their bikes after you helped them to repair it
Hi Simms, I try to keep ATVs out of the scrap yard, even the China ones!!! Thanks for the encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!!
Very well explained! great details, and great video, you earned another subsciber!
Thank you so much. The way you explain this is so easy to understand. I really appreciate it.
Hey Joe!!!! I'm trying to save as many of these things from the scrap yard as possible.... Thanks for the positive feedback, thoughts, watching, and commenting!!!
Harvey Spooner I started following your how to today. So far I have the engine off the frame...i have two of them, and I'm trying to put together one working engine. Is the coil pack for the spark twelve volt? I ask because I need to know if I can rig it up with the jumper or if I need to have it connected to the converter
Hey Joe, For a Capacitive Discharge Ignition, (CDI), system the only power to the spark coil is the output from the CDI box, the CDI box maybe powered by the battery, (DC CDI box), of from the stator, (AC CDI box),... I will be doing some wiring on the Jonway 110cc mini quad over the next week or so, please stay tuned.... Thanks for asking, watching, and commenting!!!
Pretty good explaining video pretty helpful my still not runing but, but after wach this I know there is a hope to Bring it back to life, thanks 😉
Good job Harvey...interesting tutorial.
It's really nice of you to take your time to sit down and do this video just for others. I for one thank you, even thought it's not for me. Everyone needs a refresher course from time to time. Thanks
Hey Calvin!!!! I'm glad that U enjoyed the refresher class, now, for extra credit, what was Ur favorite hard cider? Was the pear cider as good as U thought it would be????? Thanks for the encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!
+Harvey Spooner OK the Pear was good but not like I thought of when I have Pears. Pears are sweet but this Cider was sour a little but good. Thanks
Thanks for the info. My problem was a corroded kill switch causing resistance in the Run Position killing the spark.
Thanks that was a great help. greatings from Denmark
Hey Tommy, Thanks for the Kind words from Denmark, I would love to visit your country one day!!!! Thanks also for Ur thoughts, watching, and commenting, I'm glad that my videos have been helpful to U!!!
very helpful informations, thanks man.
Great and informative thank you all the best for your future
Hi,I m glad u r a good teacher I have a a 49cc Yamaha scooter
I have a 49cc Yamaha 1988 scooter I was just wite the cdi to motor from motor is black white yellow red n white and from cdi is black,red n white,black n white,black n red, so black is going black and also ground then coil,red n white is going red n white,then black n white is kill switch there it's go and second black n red there go because from motor these two I Don't have it plz can u help me so I can start without battery and I know from motor white and yellow white for light I m not using that two,I need here a switch or lagulater here where kill switch and and black n red wire go because I Don't have spark
Plz help me if u have time
man you are awesome .. ilove you ❤️🌹 i really appreciate your works and i like your videos , ifind them really helpful .. thank you and keep going 👌🏻😘
Hey Mixerhd3, Thanks for all the kind words, I'm glad my videos help you and hopefully they have saved a bike or 2 from the scrap pile!!! Thanks again for the kind words, encouragement, support, watching, and commenting!!!
Juat what I was looking for . . thanks
Thanks dude. Removed the white black wire coming from the ignition lock and it worked.. it seems that the ignition lock dont work right anymore and the black/white is all the time on off
This is so good! Thank you so much!!
Great video and instructions.
any info on removing/eliminating wireless receiver [ wireless remote kill switch ] from wiring harness? thanks
I’m going to try your diagnostic. I really wanna learn these Chinese quads.. its interesting ..
Really good video brother thank you 😊
hi harvey thanks for the video i followed it and my wiring is identical to the one you have in the video. i was able to get the lights/horn an starter but i still get no spark to the plug. will be replacing the CDI next. but not sure what else to check on. got this from someone that has had it sitting out for a while so slowly getting back into running order.
Great vid. I got one question though, I bought an aftermarket wiring harness, but the red (power) wire from the battery is pretty thin. Is it possible that it's not thick enough to pass the current to the rest of the wiring harness ?
Hello Harvey - i have found your videos quite helpful - i understand the basics but solid state ignition systems were always a mystery to me - thanks to your videos i now have a clue when it comes to CDI.
I have a chinese quad - i believe 110cc - not starting. Kick start is broken and only use electric start. There is spark as starter first engages but then stops as cranking continues. I followed your troubleshooting and red wire out of the case - it is there but not connected - has an insulated female lug that goes nowhere. Come to find that the cdi gets 12v dc somewhere from the battery circuit. When i crank i see the voltage to the cdi drop to about 8vdc. I measure the power from the case as 50vac - should i connect that direct as to the cdi power (black/red)? Any other recommendations?
Thanks a lot man I watched all your videos went in the shop and cut the black and white wire coming from the cdi and boom I got spark it runs great other then it won't shut off lol thanx again
Hey Andrew, I always love it when a plan comes together and an ATV comes back to life!!!! Thanks for telling me that Ur quad is back to life, watching, and commenting!!!
I just bought a new ignition coil
Hi Harvey. I really enjoy watching your videos. You mentioned the gy6 DC in this video. I have a gy6 150cc buggy that is 12VDC.....my question is it has a voltage regulator and I'm wondering what it does when the voltage coming from the stator is DC? Most, like you said, turn the 12vac into 12vdc to charge the battery so does that mean that on a DC stator, that the voltage regulator isn't needed or does it do something else? Thanks
Good video Mr. Spooner
Hey Terri, Beautiful day today to be outside!!! I manage to cut the lawn today without breaking the Murray Tractor, I used the Deere!!! I figured this video may keep a few ATVs out of the junk yard... Thanks for the encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!

Good vid mate - solved my issue.
Im gone put the Quad on the table one of these days , so thanks
Hey Paul, Good luck fixing Ur quad!!! Thanks for Ur thoughts, watching, and commenting!!!
I love watching your videos. because it takes sane m person to understand the moron that wired and configured these unit, they are so inconsistent with what use for ground, green blk, or even the hot, blk white or red, etc... i had to unwrap my entire harness today take deep dive try figure it out. Well, I got a push button replace into handlebar for push to start to work, on/ff didn't, Key works, now i have no spark, think the CDI is dead. ordered New one, after this video tomorrow weather permitting, do some checking OHm checks. as always, these videos are perfect.
Great video Harvey. I have a question for you. I have a 2006 hammerhead 250 go kart that I am not getting spark on. I bypassed the kill switch and the ignition to make sure it was not the problem. Still no spark. I cut the black and white lead coming out of the CDI and when I touch the wire with my fingers the spark plug has a continuous spark. I am assuming this is some sort of grounding problem. Would you agree?
looking forward to seeing you work on the cushman
Hey Roger, The Cushman Minute Miser will be a build type video.... I need to spend some time trying to fit everything under the seat.... Thanks for your thoughts, encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!
Harvey Spooner hey buddy I have a hawk 250 enduro, 2015. I can't get a spark. Following ur video I checked ohms and it was good till I checked my stator wires the black and red is the only wire that gave me anything. The other three the is nothing. I don't usually comment on video's, I don't know how to get a notification for the reply. However if u will please contact me threw facebook Eddie Cruey . Or just text or call Please I would be so appreciative .
919-824-9609.
Thanks in advance
Harvey I have a question.
Do I need to leave the battery hooked up to the atv after starting or is ok to start it up and removing it.
Thank you Harvey.
Thank You for sharing!!!!
I have a 2008 Baja 110cc quad. I'm getting fuel and spark. Starter and solenoid are new. New spark plug as well.
My problem is, it cranks and cranks, but doesn't turn on. Everytime when it cranks, you can hear some noise from the exhaust (like a popping noise as if it wants to turn on; with the choke closed AND opened). But, I bought this from an amateur mechanic who, which had appeared to open the valve end of the engine, and who also stripped the spark plug entrance (it goes in fine all the way with a rachet and in small areas, it tightens up, but it keeps spinning when you try to tighten it on the last thread).
I have yet to use a multimeter, but I will be buying one tomorrow. I've only been using a fuse checker (one of those tools w/ an alligator end that lights up when you touch power)
2008 50cc scooter won't start. Ran in 2018. So-so start but got it running. Ran OK for 3 months. Couldn't start one day to go to work. Ugh!
Things I've done.
- Checked battery volts = 12.5V
- Installed new spark plug = good spark
- Installed new carb
- New gas filter. Checked gas flow post-filter using cylinder vacuum = Good flow.
Now what? Stumped.
After installing carb, do I need to prime? Doesn't look like gas is getting to spark plug. Plug looks dry.
Any suggestions or questions?
Thanks for the support!
Harvey I need your advice, I have a 90cc 4 stroke believe it's a kazuma engine. I recently replaced all the wiring, along with stator, rectifier, coil, starter solenoid, ignition switch, everything due to some wires shorting out.
When I replaced everything,it fired up in 1st try, a couple days later it wouldn't start. Had low compression, so I tore into the top end to check everything.
Ended up replacing head gasket and stuff. Found both valves,so took them off, removed all the carbon and re installed, and adjusted the valves.
Re installed engine, put everything back together, and I have no spark.
Checked all the connectors, all "look" good.
I have a multimeter but it's too fancy for me, can't figure out how to use it 😂.
What do you think it could be?
Thanks.
hey Harvey I'm working on a Suzuki Eiger lt-a400fk and I was wondering if the pit bike cdi system on one of your outher vids would work for that
videos have all helped. i have a request, i am in the few with a chinese gy motor made by lifan. trying to find information on it is rediculous and u mentioned it. what makes it different? mine is the 150 or 200cc enduro and the wiring i redid to cut out the extra wires. its my first bike and i think im making it harder then it really is. im familiar with cars and work on my jeep. @12;12 is where u mentioned it. thank u for the great videos
Hi Harvey, I saw your video and it has helped a lot. First of all I have a quad MPX 150 and it had a spark once (just one I saw it with a test plug but no more). I have checked the wires you mentioned and they check good (ohms, continuity, etc...) but I have a wire I can't determine where it goes. It is coming out of the engine in that five wire configuration you talked about and it is Red/Blk stripe. It has a single female terminal but no other male anywhere to be found. It reads 400 ohms. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Harvey, good video. I just picked up a Zongshen ZS125ST ATV for free. I want to get it fired up for my kids. The motor cranks but doesn't kick. The wiring harness is all hacked up and I think there is supposed to be a radiator or oil cooler or something? There certainly is definitely something missing. I'm solid with the wrenching and the electrics, just not sure where to start on this thing. Do you know where I can pick up a manual so I can begin finding parts to piece this thing back together? Thanks.
Hey Brad, Can U make a video of it, to be honest, I ran a couple of searches and I did not find anything that I would trust, having said that, it seems that the engine maybe a transplant from a Zongsten scooter, if that is so, U may have some more luck getting a manual and parts. Look up Zongsten 125cc scooter, (I'm assuming 125cc, use the correct engine size in your search), Thanks for asking, watching, and commenting!!!
Great video! Very easy to understand. I have a 2010 Gio 200cc atv. I'm having trouble with intermittent spark. Every reading is good. My black red is only 295. My blk yel is only getting .5. New cdi blk yel got 1.1 now only 0.5. Any help or suggestions would be great. I'm thinking cut everything out and start over? Looks like someone was experimenting with subpar connections/splices.

good job!
Hi!!!! One of the common problems with these China is loss of spark, I hope the video helped U fix one!!!! Thanks for the encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!
I replaced all electric parts on my tao tao 125cc but still have no spark - barely seeble) or no spark at all. what is that can be?
Thanks very detailed
hey buddy I got the Arctic Cat 400 running I used to harness and the CDI and direct the prior off of my big bear Parts bike and hooked it into the the poster and the stator and it started right up
Hey Theo, I guess the colors matched up? I am glad to hear that U got it running... Most of these components are similar and the ones from the China quads and pit bikes seem to get along with about everything out there, the artic cat and big bear parts must like that also.... Thanks for the info, watching, and commenting!!!
Hey I have a question, I have 4 wires coming from my engine which are 2 gray wires and a black wire then a white wire what do think I should?
Awesome video
Hi good video I'm working on one of these at mo 50cc semi automatic. Got a weak spark or no spark at all . I'm suspected stator so far but unsure of the output voltage. In my case (red and white trigger wire) (red and yellow goes to the cdi main) (Green and white is earth) ( yellow to rectifier) and (white to rectifier) .What should be roughly the voltage on Cranking best Regards James
Nice. But a on paper wiring diagram would be helpful. I have motor , cdi. And relays for on and off controls. It’s a tifan water cooled in canoe.
so if my engine say 48 m3 on the head its a 50cc? i thought it was a 90cc let me know im very interested in how you can tell by the engine
@@jonishaan6626 you guys got reported for being scammers
I have a question about my jeep style 125cc go cart. I can turn the key and I can hear the sound of the starter but that's it what would it be
Hey man I'm not getting a ground out of my green wire from the stator. Do you know what could be the issue. It's a universal wiring harness and I can't seem to figure it out
This is gonna help me tomorrow
Very interesting mate , what do i need to do to run my bike without a battery ? just using the kick start ? Its got a Honda 110 engine in similar to your quad engine
Do i need to fit anything or join any wires together cheers ✌️✌️
Hi Harvey , I was wondering if i could get your advise , i have a 110cc China Quad , it screwed up a couple batteries so i invested in a higher quality one and then i changed all of the Ignition parts , CDI , Reg everything , still appear to have no spark but it turns over ok , scratching my brain now trying to work out why it wont kick , any advise would be grateful , i enjoyed your video
Hi Casper, Seems that U R telling me that your quad was killing batteries, U improved the battery situation and U replaced the CDI, Voltage regulator, and ignition coil and now it will not start... If I understand Ur situation, the first thing I would do is go back to the OEM CDI and ignition coil... If still no spark, I would disconnect the engine off wiring, (the black wire with the white stripe from the CDI box, cut or remove it in a way such that it can be hooked up again), and see if U get spark again.... Some of the CDI boxes use AC, others use DC, so, changing the CDI box may have killed Ur spark, removing the engine off wire will tell U if the problem has to do with the wiring.... Let me know how it turns out.... Thanks for asking, watching, and commenting!!
the carby was completely stuffed after i replaced it the quad is roaring back to life

you got another sub buddy. hope you watch me rebuild this chinese 250cc honda clone of the cb125 engine.
Harvey,I have a 2015 Velzo 125 Atv. My problem is when I turn the key to the start position , I get nothing. I replaced the battery and still nothing. Your thoughts! Thank you
Hey Harvey, white and yellow wires coming out of the engine, do u connect them to the battery to charge the battery???
I went through my 110cc China quad and got the same ohm readings as you did in the stator wires and the cdi except black and red. I have swapped in a new cdi and coil, still no spark. What is the likelihood that the stator is bad? Is there a way to test it?
Hi help needed asap !! Ive recently purchased a new loom but plug on from stator doesn't match up to one on loom ive cut both plugs of now and am going go join them up then tape them off which colours go to which ??
Hey Darren, Assuming that U R replacing one AC powered CDI for another, just match the wire colors and all should be good, blue and yellow, pulse generator, black and red, power from the stator, black and yellow, ignition coil, green is ground, and black and white should be engine off when grounded.... Let me know how it turns out.... Thanks for asking, watching, and commenting!!!!
Finally help exact same motor I have my goodness this is been a booger to find anything about.
I have a modified honda cub that has a 125cc hondamatic, it got soaked by sprinklers one night and hasnt started since, its kickstart only. I ended up replacing my cdi, coil, plug, reg/rectifier and still no spark? Thanks for helping all of us!
Yes I do but the thing is that I tested every thing the stator, coil, spark plug you name it, it's just not getting any spark
Nick, Given that U tested everything and got good readings, I would disconnect and float the on off wire and hook an extra ground between the motor and frame and wire harness green wire and the ground on the spark coil just to be sure, if no spark, Ur CDI must be dead... Should cost around $15 on eBay.... If U live near the Hudson Valley of NY, I could look at it for you... Let me know how it all turns out.... Thanks for the info, asking, watching, and commenting!!!
@@HarveySpooner hey boss I have a 125 pantera motorcycle and my cbi box got on my muffler and got burnt can I bypass it
Thank you so much for this video. I learned so much and clears things up for me
I appreciated the video. Can you tell me what to do with the information I obtain? I'm not getting a spark. After I identify the wires, ensure there is spark, test the ohms, what is next?
Hi Harvey.. Thanks for the video. I'm replacing a stator on a 95 Honda elite 80 scooter. Found an aftermarket China made very close but may have to swap a wire. How can I find out if my scoot is AC fired?... Thanks.!
battery whole sale sells sealed lead acid batterys that are rechargeable like a car battery for pretty cheap and the best part is they have some that are 1 inch wide by 2 high and 3 long witch would be perfect for the cdi box I think.
Hi Reading!!! I need to check out that website, I've been using harbor freight batteries in my portable CDI ignition, it is rough on batteries... Thanks for the info, watching, and commenting!!!
If I were to redo the wiring on my quad without the remote control box, do you have an idea how I would do that? I want to make the wiring as simple as possible. my 4 year old is on my case to fix his quad and I don't do electrical well..
Hey Mike, Try this simple test, cut the black and white wire that does to the CDI box, (cut it such that it can be reconnected easily), if the ATV starts and will not turn off, U are half way to the solution, (U can use the choke or disconnect the spark plug, (use a rag or U will get juiced), to shut it down),. Assuming that U got the engine running from above, I would buy this from eBay, (
this just might be a stupid question but is high ohms good or is high ohms bad or does it have to be some where in the middle?
Is the white and blue wire for the pulse generator suppose to show that it’s grounded? I can’t get my son’s chins 110 cc started and I’ve replaced everything, checked all the kill switches, the only thing I haven’t done is replace the ignition switch.
I just got my Chinese atv running thank you very much...you are awesome...the only thing missing is the charging system HOW DO I GET MY BATTERY To CHARGE?
Hey Jorge!!! There should be a couple of yellow wires, or a yellow and pink wire coming from the motor stator, they go to the voltage regulator attaching to the yellow or yellow and pink wires, the red wire from the voltage regulator goes to the + side of the battery, the green or black wire from the regulator goes to ground, (ATV frame), and the negative side of the battery.... www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-4-PIN-VOLTAGE-REGULATOR-RECTIFIER-CHINESE-ATV-QUAD-125cc-150cc-EL011-/291173668783?hash=item43cb4d97af:g:tyIAAOSws65TpKI8&vxp=mtr , I hope this helps, thanks for asking, watching, and commenting!!!

Thank you very much.!!!
this just might be a stupid question but is high ohms good or is high ohms good or does it have to be some where in the middle?
thanks for the video and i want asqing .my moto dont charging.its the same moto in this video so the problem is in the whit and the yelow ...thanks
Hey Harvey. Wanted to say thank you. Got my son's Tao Tao 110 running for the first time after 6 years of just sitting there. Pulled the kill switch wire from the CDI as you pointed out, sprayed some WD-40 in the carb and it started. Ordered a new carb from eBay for $15 and it starts right up, every time.
Not sure which of the 5 or 6 redundant kill switches is the culprit, but hoping I can remove them all except for the key and the left side handle bar red button kill switch.
Question: Assuming I can just splice the "kill" wire to the CDI to only the key and the red button on the handle bar and I'll be able to shut the quad off? In the mean time, using the carb's choke to kill the engine, which works every time.
hey is this same as a gio beast 200cc I cannot figure it out for the life of me previous owner hacked it up
Which voltage is suppost to be generated by the puslegenerator? I´m not sure if mine is broken.
Hi Harvey, i was wondering if you have ever encountered a problem that im having. so i have a kandi 49fm-5 dune buggy go kart, i recently restored it, but im having a starter solenoid ground sparking everytime i hook it up to ground and also it won't start with my key. i put a new motor in it, which is a 125cc which i bought off line and i replaced the harness on it which i got from ebay, before this happened it wasn't doing any of that. in the process of me trying to get it started which was by jumping the solenoid, i burnt up a starter, which is now replaced, and i also replaced my magneto stator as well because the fly wheel mangled all the wires, and which i thought was causing my grounding wire to spark. i also changed my starter solenoid as well, twice just to see if it was a bad solenoid. it happened while trying to wire up my shift indicator and thats when all the problems started. I've checked forums and some of them said to look through the wiring, which i have done front to back already and the wiring is good, and i changed all of those components. I've even changed all my power and grounding wires as well and still, my starter solenoid grounding wire keeps sparking. i don't put it on i just touch it to ground and automatically it sparks. If you have encountered anything like this and have a solution to it im all ears, thank you
Hey SeRReAL6, I was looking at the starting solenoid coil circuit for my Hammerhead and it might be what U have on Ur wire harness.... Basically, one side of the starting solenoid is directly powered from the battery, the key switch and then the starter button are in series and the provide the other side of the coil a path to ground which energies the coil and engages the starter.... Kind of backwards to my thinking, but, my hammerhead is like that and it kind of describes what U have.... I hope this helps, thanks for asking, watching, and commenting!!!!
thank you ill give it a try and let you know what happens thanks again
I have a 49cc Chinese engine. Sometimes it won't start when the engine wire is wiggled. Should I try and solder it better. Or that's not the problem?
Hey Bryant!!! If the situation with the wire can be improved without making things worse, I would solder it, if not, I would run until it doesn't run anymore and then fix it for real.... Thanks for asking, watching, and commenting!!!!
hi Harvery the pulse generator doesn't have any power coming to it, but the others are live... what now? must I pull the engine apart?
Just stumbled upon this video as I recently bought a taotao 124cc for my son. Had it running great and then it started spitting and sputtering so I got a new carb unlike the Chinese one where you cant access the float without drilling. Anyways didnt fix the problem. I'm noticing excess fuel coming out of choke side and I've adjusted carb every way I know how. I'm thinking either a sticking intake valve on compression or could a bad cdi box cause such a weak spark that it's not burning all the fuel in the chamber? All I know is it backfires out muffler and carb which says valves to me but also I've got way too rich a mixture and my plug is black. Thanks for any help!
Hey VIP!!! I think Ur intake valve is adjusted too tight, U need to loosen it up a bit and it will probably start right up... U should adjust the exhaust valve as well.... For the China stuff and the old machines that I'm running, I tend to run with the valves on the looser side.... I rather hear them tap than have them too tight and have them burn a valve drop one for over heating!!!! I hope this helps, Ur first instincts about the valves are probably right.... Thanks for asking, watching, and commenting!!!
Hey you're welcome great video! It does start good and idles fine but under throttle, any throttle is when is backfires and sputters so I will try to adjust valves. Thanks!
Harvey, i got the 13.00 dollar wire harness for the China quad i am working on, installed it but did not unhook old cdi or key fob units initially. it did not have any spark after that. then i unhooked the old cdi and key fob units. It still does not have any spark. do you have any ideas what might be the problem. thanks, Kevin.
Question keep blowing inline fuse everytime as soon as I turn the key to the on position what can cause this?
Hey Stephanie! On these China Quads, turning on the key switch normally sends power to the left hand grip switches where the start button and the light switches are, I'm thinking messed up switches there or someplace around there the wire harness rubbed off and there is a short from (+) 12Volts DC to frame or ground... I hope this helps.... Thanks for asking, watching, and commenting!!!
last time ive seen this guy had battery terminals hooked backwards
@@leetaylor2280 lol really?
Very helpful
Thank you for this video! i've checked every wire and all measurements are good except the red&black i get no readings at all, does that mean that the stator is bad?
Mine is brand new rode it 2 times and now it is not sparking at all
Turns out that the stator was bad, i bought a new stator and it worked great! until the crankshaft snapped off behind the clutch gear LOL..
