SOURCE: cant get a spark from ht leads on cb250 motor bike

Be CERTAIN the battery is good. Are all fuses good? Try brand new spark plugs. Disconnect the kill switch on the handle bar. Check the side stand kill switch for proper operation. Have the shop check the CDI ignition.

SOURCE: bike only fires once

Okay, let's have a look at it. Say Ahaaa.
The probable cause of the problem is not the spark. Get a fresh set of Stock NGK spark plugs, ground the plus to the engine, and check each cylinder for spark as the starter button is pressed for 3 seconds or so. I will wager that the spark is present.

The likely problem is the fresh gas was put into a very rusty gas tank. Bits of rust now inhabit your carb and are having fun plugging up the carb. Look at the gas valve. With a little luck there is a small bowl behind the valve. Remove it and tell me what you see in the bowl.

SOURCE: mercedes c200 elegance 1996 model mis-firing on cylinders 1-4

I beleive your firing order is 1 3 4 2. 1 and 4 are companion cylinders-meaning the piston is up or down at the same time i.e. compression and exhaust stroke both pistons are up and even on the exhaust stroke the ignition fires in order to burn unburnt fuel/ h ve you checked your trigger. There is a good coil testing tool that is placed over the coil and has a magnetic pickup that allows you to see if the coil is being triggered-just because you have power doesn't mean that you will have spark. I would replace your ignition wires and look at your wiring harness very carefully- if it is very brittle and you see bare wires exposed that is your most likley problem because the trigger is working for 1 and 3 and has the crank senser input for all for spark plugs and the cam senser is used for ignition advance and your fuel injection system. try wiggling your harness and see if your coils start to work. wireharnesses are a major problem on mercedes benz vehicles of that era. I hope I have been helpful

SOURCE: 97 Toyota Caldina starting problem

you could have a bad cylanod in your starter that's what is sounds like or you might need a new starter sence you have looked and tested everything else that's the only other peice of resenable equitment left and if thats not it you could try the O2 sencer in the car if that's bad or going out it will make a car act that way. if that's not it then your problem, lys in the corb. but i would try the cylanoid in the starter first and work your way up from there

SOURCE: 2000 honda 1100 shadow spirit. Rough idle, little power.

Replace the spark plug caps and try again. On Honda's the cap is often part of the wire (a dealer part) NGK makes some inexpensive plug caps about $5 each. They should OHM out to 5000 anything above or below and you need to replace them. This should fix the problem.

How do i test the stater and coil on 1979 honda mr50 dirt bike

Have you replaced the condensor? Do the points actually spark?
Have you checked HT lead and plug cap? Remove cap and place bare end of ht lead on cylinder head so that spark can jump from core to cylinder fin, DON'T hold it there... Kick engine over and look for spark at end of HT lead

I have a 2007 keeway f-act 50. it has developed a proble, its starts fine but when i pull the accelorator the bike goes up to around 7000 rpm and the engine starts to cut out. i have checked the HT lead...

I will recomend you to clean the carburetor and change the spark plug. If the spark plug is bad it might get problems to set fire to the gas. so change it and you might get your motorcycle working again. Good Luck.

I have took all the leads off from coil to plugs and forgot the set up on suzuki gsx600f Hreg

If you are sitting on the bike the left coil has an orange/white wire on the top and a white wire on the bottom.The HT leads go to plugs 1 4.The right coil has an orange/white lead on the top and a black/yellow wire on the bottom.The other HT leads go to 2 3.It doesnt matter which HT lead goes to either plug as thboth HT leads on the same coil fire at the same time (wasted spark system).Hope this has helped or you have already sorted it out.

Some times it will not start it will turn over but will not start all the time

your bike isnt very old so i would say you have a loose wire or carb blockage try gently wiggling the wires around the kill switch and ignition as a friend tryes to start the bike if this fails, take the tank off and check the earth connections from the coil to frame clean any rust and check thick ht lead to ht cap and plug fof good connections. replace spark plug . allso check side stand cut out switch by bypassing it by joining wires together for test. finally it may be dirt in the float bowl underneath the carb drain petrol with brass screw.

95 model thunderbird, runs great until idle, cuts out no spark bike starts again when it feels like it. when idling engine randomly miss fires as if you were flicking the kill switch on and off quickly....

The pick-up coils fail sometimes but usually lead to a complete failure
Before just replacing parts u can eliminate some suspects ie kill switch,clutch switch & ignition switch by bridging
Also check that there isnt a spark jumping from an HT lead or plug cap

Engine missing/ backfiring, no pulling power

Hi I am vortash sounds to me like an ignition lead short check that the leads on the pot are not sparking to earth effectively cutting off the spark to one cylinder ( electricity takes the shortest point to earth so wont reach the plug if sparking to the cylinder ) I think youll find if it was the Kick stand sensor it wouldnt even fire up .. ? check all your HT circuit for damp or damaged leads .. hope this is of help regrads Vortash
