Custom/Hybrid no spark what to look for

[sniper]

When I put away my ski last year everything was fine (atleast I had a spark). Now I don't!! What can cause that? It is an new ATP Flame ignition used max 2 hours.

swap in your old cdi

I can't my old flywheel is broken, I can't use the atp flywheel with a enhancer correct?

Obvious one is to open your ebox and make sure it hasn't been sitting all winter with water in it.

Allready done that it's dry and nice in there. When I connect the plus cabel to the battery it happens nothing but when I remove the cable the little green light turns on for a split second.

 

[QJS]

Take the plugs out and rotate the engine by hand, the light should come on then go off every 180 degrees.

No it's excellent

 

[sniper]

The light don't come on, what does that mean?

 

[QJS]

You need to check the pick up and associated wiring. Suggest you remove the flywheel and take a look behind there for damage to the pick up or wiring.

The wiring to the pickup may be damaged. This is usually caused by less than optimal installation.
Pull the flywheel and have a look.

 

[sniper]

Ok will Do that.

 

[sniper]

Pickup and wiring looks ok, how Do I messuare the pickup? Ohm value?

 

[sniper]

Anybody knows how to measure?

 

[Matt_E]

pass the flywheel in close proximity to the pickup. You should be getting the LED to light up on the brain.
Are you sure the brain is getting power?

 

[sniper]

Yes I checked that yesterday. We measured everything we could think of, and everything was good. we tried to mesaure the pickup but we didn't get any readings from it, I don't know if it's possible to measure it with a multimeter.

 

[Matt_E]

Are you 100% sure you installed the ignition right, per ATP instructions?

 

[sniper]

A friend installed it for me, and he followed the instructions that atp sent with the ignition. I don't know how he could install it wrong, because it did function last season

 

[Matt_E]

Oh ok, I thought the ignition was a new addition this year. I had the same issue this year, my ATP Flame was giving me issues after working without a problem the year before.
The problem was degrading pickup wiring behind the flywheel. Make triple-sure those connections are good and not corroded.
