Spark Plug Wire Resistance

[scootertrashrk]

Greetings,

Last week, I rode it 1 mile. Parked, restarted, went home, sat for an hour, came back out no spark.

I have no spark. The spark plug is fine, tested it on a friends bike. I replaced the CDI and the Stator/Magneto. Checked the CDI to coil wires - OK. I get 0.5 omhs (0.1 - 1.0 is standard) on the coil. The shut off switch tests ok also. I checked a few other wires that seemed to be properly connected.

So, I have a 10 year old "Taylor Pro Wire 8mm" spark plug wire. I get 6800 omhs on about 14 inchs of wire. It sounds a little too much to me. I am super broke other wise I would just go buy one.

Any one have more suggestions?

Thanks!

check kill switch position and function again. you are on the right track but something simple is being overlooked

Standard high tension "resistor wire" is 1000 ohms per foot.

UPDATE:::

So, after checking in with NAPA and Advance Auto Parts. They do not sell individual spark plug :spark: wires. Luckily, I stopped at a car repair shop where they gave me one for free! It read 2300 ohms at 18 inches.

I was hoping this would solve my problem. It did not. I am going to check the wires connecting the ignition tomorrow.

Rule of Thumb: Trade a suspected bad part for a known good part.

Check the gap between the reluctor (raised bit on the flywheel) and pickup.

I did do a feeler gauge test. I don't remember the size exactly but it checked out.

Is the engine turning over?
If not, it just reminded me of my relay fail last year. Was working, starting, parked, 2 hours later not working. Fairly common thing I guess.
