Well final answer is the guy behind the wrench. My stator wasn’t fully seated . It was hung/bound up when I tightened it up and was way off of flush. So seated and tightened and one quick bump of the starter she fired up. Thanks for all the advice on here .

Sounds good. Thank you for the advice. I’ll let you know what I find

I’ll check the battery. Should be ok . It was brand new. Never cranked it with wires off plugs . Had the plug grounded against frame to check spark when it wouldn’t fire . How would I test the pickup on the outside of the stator. That box is rarely mentioned or discussed. And I don’t see them...

Looks like what I remember doing . I’ll take a pic and post incase someone sees something I have missed.I did a “slap test” and it was magnetic

So your saying check that the brush wire itself didn’t somehow ground against the stator? I didn’t see any blown fuse. I’ll double check both of those options, thanks

I checked the fuse. Ignition one was good .

Lol. That would help yes. It’s a 1981 xs650 special. No pics right now and not at home.

So I replaced the brushes in my stator last night now I’ve lost spark. Anyone have a suggestion on where to start looking or testing ? 1981 xs650 special. Andy
