Skimblet Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Looks like the ignition may not be the problem!!!!!!I have been away with work for a week, came back and tried to start it (its been sat in the nice warm dry garage), it turned over as usual but still nothing, So I thought ok, last time i tried with the replacement ignition it worked,so why not bypass the ignition that is in there and put a switch in until i get it to the garage to be sorted properly.Put the wiring, relay and switch in place, connected the battery and flicked the switch and all seemed well, i was in exactly the same place as i was whenever i turned the key, press the start button and boom, everything just the same as when using what i thought was the dodgy ignition.Is there a possibility that my problems may be the battery, it is now flat from me trying to start it a few times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skimblet Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Further attempts by me to sort this have been less than fruitful.....I flattened the battery, so have replaced that (ordered a charger but it was dud), still nothing, there seems to be no spark, the lights come on, it turns over but does not start.So today I have put a new battery on, reseated all the connections and sprayed them with connection cleaner fluid, taken the coil off and checked that with a multimeter and it all seems fine, ht lead and cap seem also.Also looking for another garage, the one I have it booked into (for two weeks time) is likely to charge a fortune to pick the bike up (I live three miles away).Any other pointer of what I should be looking at ?

Stu Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Has the fuel pump been checked? Some ybr's have issues with fuel pumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skimblet Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 ive not checked the fuel pump, it does make a noise when the ignition comes on, and im sure there is fuel getting through (as i got a face full of it earlier from the pipe when i took it off)Will put that on the list to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhatomfart Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Hi , in #69 you had the bike running, have you changed anything since then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skimblet Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Hi , in #69 you had the bike running, have you changed anything since then Other than reconnecting the original ignition back, no.I did try bypassing it and added a switch instead of the new ignition but that didn't work, just gave the same result as the old ignition.today I'm going to look at the earth connections and the crank sensor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skimblet Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Cover off to check crank sensor and its full of white creamy shit, im guessing I have a bigger problem now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skimblet Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 I got it to start I shorted across the Black and the black/white from the original ignition and vavoom, starts fine, so im back the ignition forshizzleI shall now obtain an oem part and get a garage to fit it (cos i cant get the yoke off)In the meantime I shall replace the crank cover gasket and hope there is no other issue other than maybe a bit of water leaking in at some point that has caused the emulsifiying oil in there (maybe around where the crank sensor wires go in) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
