I have been having a problem the last couple of times I rode my 250R.
I was out in the cold with my roommate looking for his dog (back in like Feb.) and 250R ran fine one day, I put like 10-15 miles on it.
The next day I went out at night and it ran for about 5 mins and it died. I got it restarted and it died on me again. Only way I could get it started was to keep the choke on and I headed back for the house and it would die and restart a couple of times and then I couldn't get it restarted after that.
I never tried anything for awhile to get it started after I parked it. Then a few months later, I tried to get it running and the float was stuck up. I fixed that and it ran fine the 3-4 times I road it after that.
And today, it died while I was riding it and it has no spark.
I have the factory manual and I ohm'd out the coil and it was within spec, same with the a/c regulator. The CDI box ohms out with totally different reading as what the manual says.
I know ohm'ing thing out isn't a guaranty that they are good or not, but have you guys noticed good CDI box's ohm'ing out different than what the manual says?
I just hope it's not the stator, since that seems like it's pretty common to go out.
What are you guy's thoughts?
Thanks
Scott
