1982 Yamaha G1 Gas has no spark
So a friend and I saved this cart from crusher. I can't get a spark. I have a new spark plug, new coil, correct ohm readings from pulsar and coil in the magneto, new CDI from a guy on ebay, and a new ignition switch. The only thing that doesn't spec out is I am getting 15 ohms through the coil and read that it should be 350 ohms. So I got another coil.. same result.. 15 ohms.
It had a bad short when we got it. The ground wires were fried. The short turned out to be in one of the solenoids. I couldn't find any out on the web so I got 4 12v continuous use solenoids that work. It took me awhile to understand running the starter/gen forwards and backwards. I pulled the flywheel to check the mag and found it so full of dirt that I pulled the stater to clean and check it.
Here is my solenoid redesign. That works great..
