Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

My 1987 se50p (elite) won't spark . I got it in pieces pretty much, and now getting back togeather . The wire harness is cut all up, but I think I got the main wires figured out. I've changed the cdi, rugulater, and coil. I'm still not getting spark . Is there a way to check the electrical parts in the engine? Anybody have any ideas on what else to check and how to check it?
Thanks,
Jim

If you want to part it out, I'll buy the plastics. If you want to part it out, name a price on all the plastics, and I'll probably pay it.

If you get your hands on a service manual, the manual should tell you the impedance in ohms of what each coil and the pickup should be. I ran into some issues on my 1985 Kawasaki ATV when the flywheel came off, and rubbed the stator. Caused a short. Luckily, I was able to solder it back up. But, if you have a multimeter, just test the coils (pickup, stator, ignition) for continuity right now. It'll be obvious if it has a short, if you are doing it correctly, since the needle (analog meter) or digital display won't register anything. If I remember right on my 185, the pickup coil had a resistance of 30 ohms. Resistance will be pretty low on the stator and pickup, I'm guessing. I do have a spare ignition coil that supposedly is good, if needed. It came with my SE50p. The last owner ended up having to replace the CDI.

Manual's in tech docs.

it can be the egnitoin wires . my bro had the same problem

I pulled the stator/alt. off and found some deep scratches over the windings. So I think that might be the problem. As for plastic--- its missing most so what will fit it. Somebody was chopping it up to make a chopper out of it.

What's left? I'll buy it.
