PLEASE HELP!! spark issue

[kamchuka]

96 rm250 no spark....heres what i've done:
cdi was cracked so i replaced, there was no coil so i replaced, no spark.
opened all the loom and checked wires, repaired one break............ :bang: still no spark.
checked pickup coil for ohms or resistance, good, got bad reading from stator, replaced....still no spark

thats everything i can think of, does anyone have any suggestions.

an easy way to test up to coil, maybe easy ground im missing? its grounded to the stator plate, and the giagram sais thats it. no frame ground...

thanks in advance

Maybe your magneto is bad? Id check it out before replacing it though, as the part itself is quite pricey.

tried flywheel

off another just for giggles, no luck
with spring here and the bike being older, no one will even look at it.
sweet :blah:

Make sure the kill switch is not shorted out. Often overlooked, but commonly a problem, esp. on an older bike.

you will not believe this one

two weeks now im bangin my head against the wall :bang: no spark....check, recheck, ohms, volts, wires, doing all the right stuff. i was starting to think im worthless as a mekanik :whoa: the dadgumed pickup coil was a fraction of an inch to high off the flywheel. torked it down a bit with a hammer and bam........runs like a dream.
yeaheeeey yeahyaa!
