Any suggestions or advice?
I have a 1981 CR80 that I had acquired for my son.
When we got it it had no spark and found that the Stator was bad. After months of searching (****, Bike Graveyards and other websites)with no luck for a stator I tried taking the stator from a 1985 CR80 assemble and replacing the stator only by soldering it on to the 1981 Stator assemble. It got us a spark and the bike was running great after rebuilding the carberator.
My son was having a blast riding around in the yard and finally got a chance to take it out somewhere else and let her rip. He was riding it in 4th gear and it suddenly stopped. It lost its spark again!
We checked the plug and replaced it even though it looks fine.
I am afraid after researching this that the stator repair may have damaged the CDI Igniter or something. Any suggestions where I should go from here? The 1981 CR80 stator assemble is discontinued and I cannot find one anywhere. Any one know where I might get one or have mine rebuilt? I have the original but it had gotten torn up when a bolt backed out inside behind the rotor.
The bike runs great and is in great shape otherwise.
Any info would be much appreciated
