My Kings 80 cc chinese let me down Saturday,quitting at less than 50 break in miles.
I am relatively new to the forum but I sort of anticipated problems down the road. So I have been reading lots of posts on starting problems, no spark-no gas-ect. However problems this soon are dissapointing. Well when the bike quit I thought he he it's the kill switch, as I hooked mine up.
As I was facing almost a mile of pedaling uphill to my garage,the first thing I did was unhook the white wire. Well Im not that lucky so after a couple of attempted pedal starts my guess was it's not the kill switch.
Later in the garage I determend I was getting gas and I had plenty of compression,so it's back to spark.
Any way I have 2 questions. I wanted to completly eliminate the possibility of the white wire shorting out, so I snipped the white wire inside the magneto casing down to a quarter of an inch of the magneto ! Should this be a problem?
I also bought another spark plug took the plug out of the hole and tried both of them out hooked up to the cdi and laying on the cooling fins. I picked up the back of the bike and pedaled her over a few times in the black dark!
So no spark!
After I get hold of Kings is my next step cdi or magneto ? Also can these be tested at home? If so How?
I guess that was three questions,I am pretty much a novice when it comes to cdi's and magneto's.
