85 LT250R No Spark! Help!

[ruffryder6613]

I recently bought a LT250r, but i have no spark. After checking the blue wire coming from stator it won't light up a test light. Does this mean i need a source coil? After taking off magneto... the source coil seems to have a little bit of the wrapping knicked off somehow, would that be a problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Im not sure of the specs on that but if you have a Volt meter every part can be checked using the Ohm setting. The motor wont have any current till its in motion thats why your light won't come on....

I'm kicking it when i hold a test light to the wires.

LOL IT still won't work that way. THe only Way to check them properly is with Multimeter...Im not at the shop so I have no idea what the resistance should be sorry. Do you have a multimeter or can you get one? ...

i have a manual for a 87-92 LT250R btu i'm guess that the stators are the same. i mean hell a lt500 and lt250 stator is the same so maybe a older style non PV engine stator is the same. i'll check the manual in a bit and get back with ya

Well, if any part of those copper windings is broken, burnt, whatever, you can pretty much count on the stator being bad.

Im pretty suure all years lt250r's stators are the same.

i had a similar problem with mine when i was first going to start it up after i put it together. no spark, so i put my other coil on and then there was spark. started right up!!! i recomend getting another coil. pretty cheap on ebay, even if the problem is the stator, its always good to have spare parts.

i have a coil brand new in the box still it;s a factory suzuki one. but i'm not sure if i wanna sell it yet.
