hello, im new to 3wheeler world and already likin it here! anyway, i recently picked up my first trike, a 1984 honda 200s! decent shape. it needed a carb cleaning, gas tank cleaning, rear tire and a front fender. the only thing it had a weak spark and would only run when jump starting it. but when it got hot it would shut off. i got to ride it a few times then it finally died so i figured it was the coil.. NOPE.. so i changed the plugg, cdi and igintion controll and still no fire :rolleyes: .. so i checked around and saw 99% of the time its the stator coil, so i got a used one and it fired first pull, ran perfect but only lasted maybe 3 hours before it died again! so i got a new stator coil, put it in and 1st pull away she went! it went good the first couple rides then at the end it would miss and spit at hi rpm... so i thought it was the carb so i gave it another cleaning and still miss and spit at hi rpm. so i held it open with it missing and spitting and it died so i checked for spark and there wasnt any! thats the 2nd stator coil i burn out!, any reasons why a stator coil would burn out like that? any help would be appriciated, thanks!
