19-95 KLF300 ATV Kawasaki 4x4 no spark put new ignitor unit on.

Wiring loom -soldered crimp joints, HT coil load test ok, other elec components check out with ohm meter to approx values .Only have 87manual.No info on volts to IC Ignitor with ignition on. very light tickle from plug wire on engine crank no plug. I must be missing something as it ran previous to a pressure clean and faulty ignitor unit .Bike would go well then cut out poping and backfiring on restart-week spark. flywheel magnet strong,alternator good rectifier good ,flywheel pulse coil in ohm limits.

    I have the same problem, KLF300 runs fine and then backfires and misfires. It can tick over and clear itself and run well or just stop and be a pig to start. either way its real hard work and depressing me badly

    Is that the outside magnet on the flywheel your talking about or the inside magnets?

You said the motor cut out and popped and backfired when it quit, this is almost always one of two things; either the low speed pulse coil or the actual CDI "black" box. You will almost never lose a main coil. One thing I would also check to make sure did not happen is shearing a flywheel mag key. When the motor backfires you can easily shear a mag key if you have a heavy flywheel, (external). However when this happens you don't usually lose spark but it will certainly cause the backfire.
One other item of importance is that the bike you are in question about does not emit a bright spark when you are checking for fire. Make sure you are using a brand new plug and ground it on the head. Try to make sure you are in a dark environment when you check the spark.

Colours of the cdi do not match the colour on the rest of the loom

My JD SX 320 misfires under load (one cylinder only)

plugs will not spark under compression if they are faulty or the HT lead id off too high a resistance. or mixture is incorrect
In the real old times when plugs were cleaned and tested one of the tests were to test spark in a dry compressed air chamber where if there was a problem they failed to spark
as you have fitted new plugs it comes back to the ht lead
they are carbon tracked lined internally, the connection for the plug and cap is just a steel pin shoved up into the carbon track
try using copper ht leads where the copper wire comes out to the connection
there could be a valve seating problem or weak valve springs on that cylinder that is not allowing proper seating under compression
if you have 2 carbies then the float level for that cylinder may be too low and under load starving for fuel

#1cylinder not firing on 2003 3010 Kawasaki mule

if its firing ok on other cylinders, unlikely to be pump or fuel filter, focus on electrics, plug, ht lead etc

I have a 2004 Suzuki LT-A400 Eiger ATV. It ran until the battery was replaced. Now there is no spark. I have experiance in repairing bikes and this one is stumping me. I have the factory service manual and...

I suggest replacing the cap and rotor (check the inside of cap for wear on the "points"
I am not expereinced with bikes, however when it comes to electrical/spark, I have always been able to find the issue, as there are only a few things that it can be. You have your power source (battery), your ground, and your source (any units/components powered by the battery). There aren't many things in between any of these that could be the issue.
Also, check the wiring harness to the distributor. Make sure it is plugged in all the way (if it "plugs in"), if it's hard wired, the opposite end should have a connection. Check that as well. Make sure you have no wires bare, or touching the frame or other part of the bike, as this could be causing it to short out, which will limit or prevent spark.
Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Can't get any spark on rear left ignition coil

I didn't notice the year of the bike but
the orange wire comes directly from your TCI ignitor unit.
It might be a faulty pickup coil or the ignitor unit itself.
the pickup coils are in the right engine case and
have about 110 ohms resistance.
If there is no ohms reading on the pickup coil then
it is faulty.
If the pickup pulse coils are good then your
main ignitor unit is probably faulty.
Sometimes the solder joints can crack in them.
