    New Coils, no spark at 1 and 4. Narrowed down to CDI (maybe?)

    When you say 'you are thinking ' that fuel isn't reaching the plugs ! Can you confirm yes or no ? There should be a binary answer here that takes you down to the next path. I assume the answer is "no" To sort : - major carb problem (get old.ones out on the kitchen table ) - spark problem on...

    Will do all tests again on non working bike (550 GS) tomorrow first thing (UK time) and post for alls weekend analysis. ​I have old tests but let's do this one more time and compare. Ill say no more as this is a mid issue revamp. ​​​ ​​​​​

    Stator and wiring burn out ? - GS 550et 1980

    Ok I have made a document of all the tests I have done on a perfectly working bike (GSX 250) (charging wise) in a logical format using the same.battery. This for the stator and RR. Any iv missed do inform. Remember I am the worst at electrics on earth but I can be logical sometimes. I'll attach...

    Even though given up ... I am gonna - Just to check on another bike all the tests I did on the 550 on my perfectly working GSX. This as I am yet to see test results from a perfectly working bike. Let's see what the actual volt output is on the GSX and all the others. If this shows 50-60ac...

    I have a Newtronic Piranha setup that works fine. Elecs not.my thing but been reliable. Cheaper I think. Dynatek I am told is the best mind. I can't to be honest think of anything more likely to throw you down a rabbit hole as buying new non standard carbs for the bike .... Adding another...

    Q ) can you put in a stator upside down ? I can't see that I have as wires wouod not reach. In my stator pic is the facing face of stator facing in or out installing ? I can't remember on the original Edit - I don't think it's possible to install incorrectly or wires wouldn't fit. But for info...

    Edit - 18 on original (one on when issue happened ) pic attached One in bike now , no idea as now in. May ask m&p if they can tell me . Iv given up. I can't do this anymore. Can't afford to take to garage now so I'm mothballing it and back on GSX 250 using the shared battery. Never known a...

    Stator and wiring burn out ? - GS 550et 1980

    I'm.begining to think i.must have the wires wrong . Can anyone tell me what the two other wires on the regulator do and go ? Pic below. Black and red (I think ) I have one to the loom which has 12v at all times the red one and a black wire to negative battery terminal . The three yellow to stator

    Oh and did this test : also need to do AC voltage check at 5000 rpm between A to ground, B to ground, and C to ground, looking for very low AC voltage numbers.​ Result 0 ac volts on all.​

    Stator and wiring burn out ? - GS 550et 1980

    I think I and we have reached the end . I cannot understand why this is.not charging unless I am putting on wires in wrong place from reg / stator. 3 yellow to yellow on reg Power on reg to loom where I have even marked as such last 10 years. Neg black lead from reg the neg on battery. If...

    Ok testing. - battery connected , ignition off - I get 12.6 v at loom lead to regulator. So power getting to Reg. I think this is one of the tests you meant . You did ask for ..... (If you don't detect any DC voltage at the battery, check the voltage at the positive wire coming out of the...

    I think we need a status check in snappy readable form as your initial manuscript is so long I cant keep going back. When was last time.bike was fine ? Think was fine until you ride it 2 days after buying ? Compression ? Can you check ? Useful to know anyway Petrol getting through on all...

    Test you ask for is done in analysis !!!!! Test 4 Fail ! 0.2v when I wanted 50-60v on all options Not done this one: also need to do AC voltage check at 5000 rpm between A to ground, B to ground, and C to ground, looking for very low AC voltage numbers.​

    Stator and wiring burn out ? - GS 550et 1980

    Way forward: (If you don't detect any DC voltage at the battery, check the voltage at the positive wire coming out of the R/R.​) - I have nit tested this before. I like this test and will do It tomorrow but I don't detect any DC voltage increase at the battery terminals to be specific Yes same...

    Stator and wiring burn out ? - GS 550et 1980

    Results : All put back together with new known to work reg , battery and new stator that bench tests ok. All fuses ok before and after test. Stator same type from m&g - UK company as last one that gave same result. - it still will not charge ! Zero change on battery as revs increases and AC...

    New Coils, no spark at 1 and 4. Narrowed down to CDI (maybe?)

    That's a few issues !!! Ill have to think on this as have had similar impossible issues in the past. Seems a shame you have bought new carbs when you could have stripped and cleaned the standard originals ? I prob would not have done that. But issue at hand is no spark - that's to fix first...
