Jetskiover Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 Wow that looks great.Wondered if you had any idea where I could get a replacement coil for the generator if required ? Quote

Or you could send it away to West country Windings . http://www.westcountrywindings.co.uk/applications.php or you could just buy one coil from Rlectrex https://www.electrexworld.co.uk/acatalog/C25.html You're welcome .

ThePhatomfart Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 Wow that looks great.Wondered if you had any idea where I could get a replacement coil for the generator if required ? Dont think anything is wrong with the coil, as it works off the battery,, but you cant put Vac into the coil , it has to be Vdc, so must pass through your Silicon Rectifier, because you have points you wont have a CDI, so the Harness and Ignition switch should be installed, no need to have the battery installed as this will work from the kickstart Quote

Jetskiover Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 I think the rectifier is only required to convert the 12v ac to dc for the charging of the battery ? Quote
ThePhatomfart Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 I think the rectifier is only required to convert the 12v ac to dc for the charging of the battery ? Yes sorry miss led you there , 12vac to the B/W wire Quote
Jetskiover Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Thanks for checking that for me. Am going to remove and re check the flywheel and points etc. Quote
ThePhatomfart Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Have you put the ignition switch back on , could be you have an open circuit without that being there Quote
Jetskiover Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 I think the ignition switch earths out the spark from the generator when switched off . Without it being connected at all it will have no means of ding this. Also I had a spark without it being fitted. I am heading towards a issue with the generation of the spark or the voltage created.

ThePhatomfart Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Right ,I thought you only got the spark with the coil off the bike and with the battery? Quote
Jetskiover Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Yes i do now but before removing the head and lifting the barrel I had a spark. Quote
ThePhatomfart Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Been reading this post, could help with diagnosis, points toward the coil on the genhttps://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=176136&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Quote

ThePhatomfart Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Yes i do now but before removing the head and lifting the barrel I had a spark. what Ohms reading did you get on the Gen Ignition Coil, should be in the range 0.3 to 1.1 Quote
Jetskiover Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Well. I have put it all back together after testing everything and re assembled the generator and re checked points and now have a spark at plug !!! Quote
ThePhatomfart Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Well. I have put it all back together after testing everything and re assembled the generator and re checked points and now have a spark at plug !!! Great, was it something you missed the first time or new parts Quote
fastbob Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 TFFT ! Now stick some bloody petrol in it and fire the beast up . Quote
ThePhatomfart Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 To me that base plate is out by "180"Based on the image given by FBShowing lower section is filled Polish_20200105_180110275~2.jpgIe red dot should be where yellow is F3A2CAE5-0A60-4C0F-94A9-A95DA734E5FE~2.jpeg Not possible , the screws are unevenly spaced so it cannot be wrong . Black and whiteite pic is early Japanese and colour pic is Brazilian . I understand that but as you have pointed out there is something definitely amiss with that top location .If i was OP i would go back to start and redo ...Not noticed that until pointed out but will check. Am pretty sure I haven’t removed generator plate since losing spark !! So have you removed gen plate before losing spark? Spot on [mention]TimR[/mention] he did exactly as you suggested and now has a running bike Quote

Spot on @TimR he did exactly as you suggested and now has a running bike Oh yeah ? It's gone a bit quiet since our friend reported that he had a spark at the plug . I've not read any report that this bike is running yet . Ever tried running a CG with no air box ? Good luck with that . Quote
ThePhatomfart Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 Dont think he will be back, he is a mechanic Quote
fastbob Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Dont think he will be back, he is a mechanic He's probably electrocuted himself with a massive blue spark at the plug ! I still don't understand why he couldn't see that wonky base plate . Quote
