no spark on a CR80

[confusedyouth]

Hi, I have a 1981 Honda CR80 (yeah I know its old but it was cheap and it was fun until now) I was riding it a few months back when it just stopped and I could not restart it, I checked all the basics and found that the bike has no spark (everything else looked good it was getting plenty of gas and it definitely had compression) I have tried several different spark plugs with no luck, I took off the gas tank and looked for any disconnected wires or shorts ect. There was none that I saw. I took off the cover to the rotor everything looked ok, nothing obvious wrong. So right now I’m thinking it’s probably the CDI box but before I spend any money on the bike I want some other opinions on this, any replies are greatly appreciated.

Try disconnecting the kill switch & try again.

Most likely is the stator coils have burnt out, or the pulsar coil. Pull the flywheel off with a aftermarket puller (cheap) & send the backing plate to a rewinder to test.
