1989 XT600 No Spark
Hi Guys, I recently purchased a 1989 xt600. Whoever owned this bike before must have used it for a parts bike because the ignition system is a mess. the stator coil wiring colors did not match so I bough one off of Ebay from a 1985 that had the correct wiring colors. The coils orange wire had a short where it entered the coil and the sparkplug wire had been cut and taped together in 3 places. I had a new universal aftermarket coil that installed. I still do not have spark. The CDI box # is 5y1-52 and im wandering if is compatible with this bike. Before I buy a CDI box I would like a 2nd opinion. I checked the wiring against the Clymer diagram and and my ohm meter and it checks out ok. The only way I can get the neutral light to come on is thru the kickstand. Ive grounded the neutral light wire to the case and that does not light it either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jay
