Okay so here goes.Im Adam from Manitoba, I recently bought an 86 250sx, perdy rough shape but i want to fix er up. the dude i bought it from says is starts second kick every time. well i found out theres no spark. I know its one of a couple things wrong; spark plug, loose, broken wires, neutral lockout, CDI box, or the "pulse generator". Im stuck up north for work and wanna get back down south to work on it, but in the meantime im getting hung up on some terminology and electrical inner workings. can somebody explain stator, pulse generator, and/or pickup coil to me?
As far as i understand a magnet on the flywheel passes by some coils as it turns, and sends a charge to the CDI box, that discharges to the IC which converts the low voltage to the higher voltage needed to ignite the spark plug.
Ive a little mechanical end electrical know how, but this is all new to me as im a young-un and didnt come from what youd call a mechanically inclined family :lol: some help from the 3WW gurus would be sweet
