Weak fire on pocket bike

Hi, I do a lot with these bikes, I think if you are getting a weak spark there is a couple things to check. First, do you understand how it builds the power to create the spark? The magnet in the flywheel has to be very close to the magnito or coil, if the gap is too much it will cause a weak spark, if the magnet is weak, weak spark, if the coil is shorting internally, weak spark. If the plug wire is damaged, weak spark. I hope this helps you.

Weak spark 1999 KTM EXC 200

How do you know its a weak spark? Is this a visual check? Will the bike start with the correct new spark plug?
On some bikes, you can hardly notice the spark when looking at the spark plug laying on the head, Try looking at night in the DARK!

Malaguti grizzly 10 no spark

I would recommend that you check the main fuses located somewhere near or behind the sidecovers on either side of the motorcycle, If that is unsuccessful...You know, fuses are okay looking, then at that point check the electrolytic acid level in the battery. (usually located under the seat or behind the sidecovers as well). If the battery acid level is too low the engine will not run properly and if it is super low you will not even have enough energy to create a spark.

Good Luck my friend,

Phillip

I think the stand is the cause of the issue. Check the stand switch as if the bike is in gear or you have the clutch let out and the stand is down, it will not attempt to start.
Hope that helps.

Rode home new 883;, next morning bike wouldnt start, battery weak. would not turn engine over. bike is 2009 with 40 miles, bought from dealer

how old is your battery? if it is 2 to 3 years old it may need to be
replaced . charge it up and see if it keeps charge, crank your bike
run it for a short time 4 or 5 min. shut it , and try to start it. if it
drags when cranking go buy new battery.

Sorry this was never answered.

XJs are cold blooded bikes. Starter fluid usually works. But you may want to check the enrichment circuits on your carburetors. They can get clogged and cause harder-than-usual starting.

Bike cranks and wont start

Hi .... Sounds like regulator/rectifier is defective. Fully charge battery and try starting again, place multi-meter across battery and it should show 12.8-14 volts. If it doesn't replace reg/rec unit.
