Last weekend i took out my 84 250r i was climimg a hill and it started cuttin out and it died at the top.Thairs no spark. And i havent torn into it yet. I think the staitor might be shot. Any sugestions of what it might be. or what i should look for when i do tear into it.

new plug, check the plug cap an see if it has a good connection, check all connections/plug-in's or spliced wires, check the ground's and do a test on the stator with a meter

First check for lose connections, I know everyone says that but it is usually the main reason for a loss of spark. You could also easily pull off the stator cover and see how everything looks inside there. If you have checked all the connections, there is always the possibility that a screw holding part of the stator in place came loose.

I had problems with my banshee getting wet because a wire was exposed and it was shorting things out. It was weird though because I would get it wet and it would take some time to get the water into it so that it would short out. So I would go through water and it would be 5-10 minutes later it would cut out. I ended up using shrink tube and coverd everyting. There is no water getting in now.

Anyway you just have to keep looking over everything to find it. I would have to say electrical is the hardest problem to fix or track down.
