My sons 2000 yamaha warrior will not start. It will turn over but not fire. There is no spark @ the Spark plug. I can pull it off and it runs great. I tested the stator and the ohms were very low on one of the plugs. should i test anything else?? and if so how??? (i will apoloize in advance...i may not know the proper names of some parts..I have never done anything like this....I'm just a mom trying to fix sons bike...if i can. :frown:

I changed spark plug. Made sure wires going to spark plug had good connection. Tested the ohms from the wires coming from stator. One read 291 and the other much much lower, although i can't remember the exact #. sorry. I should have given you more info. hope this is better and thank you so much.

I don't have a manual for the warrior, but You may want to test the coil, (what the spark plug wire connects to). Even a bad plug boot can cause this.

Blaster/raptor/warrior/banshee- remove the plug boot by unscrewing it- check the resistance of the boot by; putting one end on the screw and the other where it plugs on the sparkplug should be between 4-6K Ω, if that checks ok next- the primary resistance of ignition coil [positive lead (red) to the skinny power wire coming out of coil unplug it to test this-to generator(stator) and negative lead (black) to one of the grounding terminal on either side of the coil] should get- 1.44-1.76Ω Secondary resistance [positive lead (red) to the plug wire and neg (black) to the power wire on coil to generator(stator) again unplugged] 5.28-7.92K Ω.

If any are not in this limit replace it! Hope this makes sense to ya!

ok, stator is good because it runs when pull started.

cdi box is good because it runs fine.

voltage regulator is probably fine too.

coil is good because it runs fine when pull started.

how fast does the motor spin when trying to start with the electric start?

if it isn't fast enough, it won't produce a healthy enough spark .

it could be the battery or the starter, or both.

also, what i would do is strip as much plastic away so you can check all your wiring. there could be a bare wire(s) touching the frame. check everywhere the wiring is tie strapped on and where there are wear/rub marks regardless if it is encased in a protective plastic. peel it away and look and you can always tape it back up. you could also have someone help you to see if there are flashes in a dark garage or outside while cranking it over with the starter motor.

Thanks OB. I did try to jump it off with no luck. I pulled it with the tractor and it did start but I had to pull it pretty fast. I was then able to ride and it sounded great. I replaced the starter about a yr ago. Don't no if that matters or not???

Got it. So, if it runs after being pulled off then the stator is good? Thanks for all your help. I hope to understand this all of this someday. I hope I don't question u to death.

:yes: we are all here to ride and have fun and help each other out, and you're not questioning me to death :no:

i think something is interupting the path of the electric starter, the bike runs fine with it being pull started, so i would have to think there is a wire(s) grounding or a bad starter or battery....

The screws that hold the pick up coil in are really tight and I don't want to stripe them. Any advise. Sorry fpr type

o'S I am using phone with gloves on. Didn't want u to think I was completely stupid. Ha

mine were in tight too, sometimes if you give them just a little tightening, just to move it ever so much, it breaks it free. then you can back them out. you can also try keeping the screwdriver in the slot, and tap it with a hammer...

Will try just spraying carb cleaner 1 st (. Sorry for bouncing around..easier to post here by phone). Also,I only here the soud when in 4th and 5th gear. Don't know if that helps any

      2 problems with 2000 Timberwolf 4x4
      By Tim Keiper
      1st problem, Does anyone know where I can find a stock carb for my Timberwolf, I have tried two different aftermarket carbs and they both suck. The machine runs great until it gets good and warm, then it keeps stalling unless I feather the throttle. it will even stall while I'm trying to go from 1st to reverse or vise versa. I took it to a buddy of mine who is a bike mechanic for years, and he told me try to find a factory carb. When I look online from dealers it says "NOT AVAILABLE" anyone have any suggestions ?
       
      2nd, The small tab on the rear axle for towing is to short for even pulling my small yard trailer, I can't even turn a little bit and hit hits. I tried making an extension which worked great as far as length, but it bends the tab and then the extension drags the ground. I have an idea of what to do to fix it, but wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem and see how you solved it.

      2000 Honda 400EX Backfires
      By Trent Finnessey
      I’ve got a 2000 400ex with a dg slip on muffler, it came with he stock muffler on it but the previous owner had the dg in a box so I put it on. I’ve been riding it for the past month and a half and every time I let off it backfires, and the other day the backfires got way louder, 2x louder! I’m concerned that I may hurt my motor? Why does is backfire??? Thanks

      1999 Yamaha Big Bear 350 4x4 no spark
      By Kaz
      Troubleshooting a no spark issue, was running OK, maybe a little rich, turned it off, now no spark. I've checked/ohmed out the main key switch, the start/stop switch, neutral switch, brake switch - all good. It will crank the starter, but no spark with the starter or when I try the pull start. I've checked all fuses and diodes. Swapped battery. New plug. New coil. Swapped in a used CDI - no help. Traced, removed, cleaned, reattached all grounds. Removed things like my winch from the circuits to be sure a bad relay or something was dragging it down. When testing voltages, the orange wire going from the CDI to the ignition coil shows no/very low voltage-shouldn't it have 12V on it? Sometimes I get a very weak, intermittent glow on my spark tester, but not enough to fire the plug. I've checked continuity on just about all wires in the harness. Checked/cleaned/lubed w dielectric grease- all connections, redid a few that looked old/dirty. I've checked the stator resistances, all good, but have a stator and rectifier ordered anyway, will arrive Sunday. I verified that the rectifier has a voltage output back to charge the battery while cranking - 10.5-11V, low, but expected while starter is engaged. What else can I check as part of troubleshooting? I have a Haines service manual, but the 1999 350 4x4 seems to be an odd model, there isn't an exact electrical diagram for it, but found one for another year that has all the same number of wires and same color wires, so I've referenced that. Any hints, tips or advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
