Guest Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Hey guys so i have a 1983 yamaha IT 250 (2 stroke) and ive never had any sort of ignition problem untill a couple weeks ago, i was riding and it just flat out died. the lead is fine, plug is brand new. so my question is what should i check now? and if the next thing i should check is the magneto how do i get the pesky nut off of the crank shaft to remove that metal cylandrical cover off? is there some special tool?p.s if you want a picture i could get one if it helps.thanks, Riley.a Quote
Guest Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 do you get a spark when turning it over?do you have fuel in the tank? Quote
Guest Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 do you get a spark when turning it over?do you have fuel in the tank? Post your reply here, so anyone with ideas can help..anyway, answer PM to me.Yes to fuel, No to Spark..continuing...have you a picture or a Haynes Manual..?I Havent worked on 2 strokes in quite some time.. and would hate to make things more complicated than necessary...is it electric or kick start?does it have a kill (big Red) Switch..?when was the last time it ran..?have you check the CDI box?Have you checked the connections to the coil?

Guest Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 i havent checked cdi, i will do right now it is kickstart, and i have no pictures, but i will get you some, also no to the manual also yes to kill switch but its the push style, also no key. could it be some sort of contact ground? Quote
