I have a Honda CRF230 that I bought for parts, for my sons bike. I have ended up over time accumulating extra parts and decided to rebuild this bike from the frame up. After spending too much time and money on Ebay and Amazon buying parts. I have the bike almost completely together.
However, When firing up for the first time I it started for a brief second and sounded good. So started finishing touches and did another test and could not get it to start. I would have intermittent spark, so trouble shooting started, to the point I have no spark now. Below is a list of what I have done.
Checked the timing
New Stator, aftermarket --
Tried a OEM stator of a good running bike
New CDI and a used CDI box off my sons bike - Test and works on my sons bike.
two different coils -- Test and works on my sons bike.
Replaced all of the wiring connectors and tested, heat shrink connectors and tested good connections.
I have tested the CDI box, Coil, Plugs and voltage reg. box on my sons bike his bike fires right up. Place these parts on the rebuilt bike and no spark.
I am really struggling on what the issue is, The stock wiring harness was shot on this bike so I order a used one off the same model and year of bike to use on this bike everything looks good. I tested power at the coil with a volt meter just to compare to my sons bike. When I did this I set the meter to DC and cranked the motor, the voltage matches my sons bike.
I am usually pretty good with trouble shooting issues like this, but this one has me stumped. Kind of points at the stator but this is the second stator.... ugh can someone help??
