Ignition problem

[rtwing]

My starter was spinning without turning the engine over. So i bypassed the Ballast resistor and kick started it as per Randakks blog. Worked fine, but after a few minutes of running the bypass connection became disconnected. There was a spark at the dislodged connection, the bike stalled and now nothing. Won’t start or even try to start when I kick it. What happened ? What blew when that bypass connection arked?

Have you checked the main fuse?

Yes. First thing I checked. "Always check the easiest things first".

If there is no life whatsoever, when you turn the ignition switch to on, and the main fuse is okay, it may be that the battery failed. Have you tested the battery?

Problem solved. Some dumbass reversed two wires when reassembling the coil.
