coil/battery are the top 2 on the list if it just conked out as you say.

Check the leads/dizzy cap (little carbon rod thing) and make sure nothing it loose but I'd be surprised if it wasnt the coil tbh

but ill double check leads and battery is charging

crank position sensor mate??

crossedmike · 08-03-2010, 20:13

hmm ill have a look is this a common fault the crank sensor

skwaggles · 08-03-2010, 20:23

is something that people have had go that causes the same problem your having. is about £45 for a crank sensor but is a pig to fit. might be worth trying the coil first just to rule it out. if that don't sort it then i'd defo try the crank sensor next.

crossedmike · 21-03-2010, 17:26

ok fittered new crank sensor new coil pack checked all leads its like there is no spark still turns over but no spark it is as if the spark is not getting to the coil i had a speed sensor reading on fault reader cleaner it off then the reading went but im stumped as i say new coil new crank to rotary arm new dizzy cap all wires look ok and not broken please help

*vngtx* · 21-03-2010, 17:44

crossedmike · 21-03-2010, 18:00
