Hi Kevin love your videos! I’m having an issue with a 72 Suzuki TC125. I’m getting spark from the mag wire to ground but when I connect to the coil I get no fire to the spark plug. The spark from the mag wire to ground is very small blue spark no arcing. The coil is new after market off flea bay. Points are good no shorting. I have no changed the condenser yet but have one on order. The primary coil on the stator tested good at 1.9 ohms. What am I missing?

Kevin perhaps you would be kind enough to help, saw your videos on ignition testing and to that end I have a 1979 Honda PA50II with no spark: my test results as follows,Charge coil-1.8 ohms spark plug cap 5.10k ohms: Ignition coil 8.14k ohms: and HT wire combined with coil 13 k ohms,the condenser which I'm not certain of results ie ohm meter 15 ohms and dc voltage I think was 0

Hey kevin this video has been incredibly helpful. I just picked up a 1974 g4tr 100 Trail Boss 10-speed. I've cleaned and reset the carb it has a brand new KAWASAKI HIGH PERFORMANCE IGNITION COIL 6/12 VOLTS POINTS OR CDI MAGNETO on it. The bike will start 2nd kick every time and will run flawlessly for about 10 min then it starts acting like its running out of gas and will sometime backfire. Any suggestions on where to start? Someone said condenser but i dont want to just throw parts at it aimlessly. Thank you for your knowledge!!

Hey kevin first off want to say thx for all thr very detailed videos, they have helped me alot, thx to you I have successfully changed crankbearings reassembled and rode again!! Anyway i got a quick question on my latest $25 ke100 after pulling the flywheel to inspect coil and points i was very surprised to see 6 magnet flywheel, per your videos i have learned that those flywheels where produced later and for 12volt systems. I am sure the coils and points and condenser on the stator are of thr 6v variety. I have a 3 magnet flywheel off another ke i was gonna use but was wondering if your expertise could shine some light on light on if the 6mag flywheel would work? Once again thanks, and keep on enlightening!!!

I got 75 suzuki tc 125 that had no spark. I changed the points and condensor and im getting a very inconsistent and weak spark. The ignition coil checks out good with my multimeter. So i disconnected the coil from the condensor and im getting 2.5 ohms with my multimeter set at the lowest ohms setting which is 200 ohms. Could this be my problem or did i cook the condensor using the pen style solder iron? Thanks for your help.

Yes there is a way to test the points on the bike and all hooked up? It's Called a squauk box it sounds all the time but when they come together It changes pitch.. do. Ra me. I've built my own out if a 12v blinker They make a sharp pitch noise Plus 4aa batteries to make a kind of like continuity tester... They use to sell them back in the 70s for especially 6v motorcycles. Well Just thought I'd throw that out there Have a great day.

@@2strokeguru ya will do. It makes it so much easier to do your Timing on those type of bike. Because all you have to do is hook Your earth wire any were on the bike And your pos to the hot wire coming from the points then losen the points screw to taught and turn your fly wheel back and fourth when f mark lines up correctly You wheel hear a different pitch in the sound this gives you dead on timing. Alot of people think it's on but with the squak box you'll see Just how much they are off? Once they are correctly done they can go 40 years with no problems And much more reliable than cdi Box they can go out anywhere at any time it's just a capacitor...? Old two Strokes are basically apocalyptic No battery no coolant and can be made diesel no spark plugs there Already doing it in afghanistan? They just need the start of a glowplug and battery to fire them Then there off and going I think I will try making one my self.
