Bought bike, rode home, now no spark

[Wilbau]

long as there is a new regulator that WORKS! A voltmeter where you can see is pretty much a have to have. Voltage spikes kill iggys the tyronic may be a good solution....

billy icon may have one in the box yet.

So this set up as you see it, is correct? Except for possibly the regulator? I was under the impression, that there are some wires that are supposed to come out of one side of the cam which I do NOT see... Am I correct in my assumption?
Gong to check the tytronic link now.

I also own volt meters. I'm a construction guy so I have tools out the wazoo.

 

[Wilbau]

This tyronic part is mounted onto the upper left cam?

 

[gggGary]

a meter that stays mounted in ride sight is a good plan. small digital meters are a dime a dozen these dayz.
your wires...

yup

Does the box that is disconnected have fins ?
yes = old voltage reg
No = if it has a 6 or 8 pin connector then probably TCI igniter.
What is your battery voltage ?

No it does NOT have fins. It is a flat box (about 6" long, 3" wide by 1" in height) mounted under the battery box and the plug just dangles. It is an older looking part.
Behind the motor is the newer "regulator" as seen in pictures of the newer kits. And it is plugged in.
I'll have to run another check on the battery voltage.
So can you confirm these parts are supposed to be the change over parts of the "upgraded or after market" ignition system?

 

[Wilbau]

And yes, the plug is an 8 pin plug.

OK, thank you!
I'm going to assume there are other wiring issues involved if all these parts seem to be the after market "change over" ignition parts. I'll try to get voltage readings later on today.

I really appreciate everyone's help. so ummmm . . . .keep it coming!

90% sure it's the TCI box for the stock ignition. Should have a sticker that sez Hitachi. You might pull it off and list it on the forum . Worth $$$ and you won't need it unless you go back to stock.

Only worth money if it's a proven good part. Ie... it's been run for 30min or more. Odds are that, since iggy was replaced... it's a bad part.

 

[Team Junk]

Good point there Jim.

Yes, this is the part. Disconnected.

could be good or bad send it to someone who would test.

 

[Jim]

Yeah... could be the rotor died and was changed to PMA. That meant replacing the TCI iggy. Possible it's still good.

 

[Team Junk]

Yeah... could be the rotor died and was changed to PMA.

Writers embellishment added to scenario, Rotor died po decided to try PMA and left TCI box in case he had to go back to stock

 

[Wilbau]

OK, so yes, the TCI box in not in use.
ALSO, Just tested the battery voltage and while not running 12.3 ... while running 12.3 (seems wrong). I also noticed one of the wires near the battery was getting very hot. Not sure where it goes to yet, but I will trace to find it's purpose.

 

[Team Junk]

What color wire ?

 

[gggGary]

It was a dark and stormy night.....

 

[gggGary]

So sounds like a short wired in, use a pma wiring diagram check how this was done.
