So how’s about a summer free ride then? I’ve been tinkering on my RN and it’s ready, fingers crossed the SN is ready after stator, carb, and bendix replacement. Will water test tomorrow.
Nix the blowsion bendix spring. $9 and change for the spring. Ok I bite the bullet. Cheapest shipping $28. That’s insane. It’s so light. Drop it in an envelope with a forever stamp. Under a buck shipped.
So which part of the bendix grenaded? Do I need OEM washers and spring? I plan to get the spring from blowsion, but can't for the life of me find the washers. However, the description of the washer is "plain" so I'm hopeful I can just grab some from ACE.
ok, so order a new stator and starter bendix... It appears to have put a slight groove in the flywheel magnets. Think that will be ok? Tell me yes and mean it. If not, I might as well upgrade to 62t while I'm replacing it all for the improved CDI.
I pulled the flywheel just now. Key is in good shape but I discovered something that ain’t right! Found what I can only guess was once part of the starter??? Split in to 3 pieces all caught up in the flywheel.
It also looks like the stator has already been doctored up once.
Measured from brown/white stripe to black. 80vac at idle, then decreased to high 50’s as it revved.
Tried a different meter. 50vac at idle, then decreases into 40s as it revs.
It ohmed at 396 before starting it to measure voltage, then around 415ohms after running.
I have to assume they match. It’s ran great for years. The CDI I swapped out was labeled 6m6 as was the new one.
I think I finally figured out how to get a reading on the charge coil. Multimeter set on VAC measured from the brown/white stripe to ground in the ebox. 80vac on idle, then...
Disconnected white with red stripe which I understand is pulser wire. Worse. Primary winding on coil is 1 to 2 ohms. Secondary was 13.5k but measured through 5k boots, making it about 3.5k.
Temp sensor unplugged, no change. Swapped CDI no change. Disconnected white wire from kill switch, no change, except I couldn’t kill it without putting hand over carb.
As for CDI, I guessed it could be the culprit so ordered a cheapo from Amazon for testing. Why not since ebox is open...
I don’t think previous were stock. So maybe resistor maybe not. Negative on temp sensor, I ended up spending Sunday with the wife. I have 2 flights tomorrow, but might be able to try it Tuesday
I’m not running total loss. But now have resister boots and plugs. However adding resister boots didn’t change symptoms. Off tomorrow and will try kill switch and temp sensor.
