Welded Frame, Bike wont start.

My spark plug caps not putting out 5k seems like it a problem

Had to look back.....5000 Ohm caps. You can recheck on 20,000 Ohm scale. The 1 or 2 on 2K scale don't sound right.

at 20k it starts at .4 and drops to 0 almost immediately

 

[jpdevol]

If that is with cap removed, then they sound like 0 Ohm cap (non-resistor) that's OK for now.

I can see "LB05F" stamped on the side of his plug cap in one of his pics. That's a 5K ohm cap.

 

[jpdevol]

No disagreement, enlarged pic couldn't tell. Can't explain the findings

 

[nikiforova]

Should i grab new wires tomorrow?

 

[jpdevol]

Nope. But I did look at pics again; upside down, lower left of bench test, perhaps laser printed. 5Twins has VERY sharp eyes!

Do you want to press-on with "tapping test" or break and charge battery?

 

[nikiforova]

My battery is only reading 12.58 volts and is on the charger right now

 

[jpdevol]

That's good -up to you.
Just to re-clarify; what we're attempting to do is have everything hooked as normal - except Orange from coil - power-up, verify voltage to ground @ R/W at coil.......then "tap" orange wire to bare ground to simulate ignition - check sparking @ plug cap to grounded spark plug

So wait, the orange that is connected to the coil at all times, or the orange thats currently on the bike that gets plugged into the coil?

 

[jpdevol]

Yes, orange connected to coil, not harness orange. (Sorry was bleeding brakes)

Okay i got a spark this time around.

 

[jpdevol]

Well, crap; that's pointing to a bad TCI Unit. No spark would have implicated the coils/caps as guilty.

Okay. Ive been reading about the gonzo unit. Is that the direction i should plan on heading in?

 

[jpdevol]

Seems so.

 

[nikiforova]

Seems so.

Order placed. Should be here at the end of the week. Hopefully that harness doesnt take too long. Ive been reading about the gonzo swap since that was mentioned on the first page. Ill keep y'all updated as it progresses

 

[nikiforova]

Hey all. I got the gonzo unit and wired it up. Still having no luck at all. At the same place, flipped polarity too and got nothing

 

[jpdevol]

Well, crap! I've got zero experience with that Igniter. You've been through everything up to that. Perhaps post pics of your install from harness to the Gonzo (Suzuki?) and review the pdf in post #2. While waiting for Gonzo experienced help - I'll stand by for a bit

 

[nikiforova]

Here’s my wiring setup! I followed the 8-6 pin conversion and I’m not getting any luck
