Not till I figure out why it is doing this. If Jensen can ride a 70 up it, a big wheel shouldn't have any problems.Originally Posted by captainweezy

You might be strong as an ox, but without a cart you are just a big dumb animal.

Good luck on the BW problem. Hope it isnt to serious. I think a BW would have a decent chance on the backbone! They are like a 2 wheeled goat! LOL!

Thanks for the support guys. There is another one for sale local to me. It sounds like it needs a top end re build, but the plastics all look good. I might try to pick it up for #300 or so. just to try a different CDI before I tear the top end off. I could always part it out and make my money back then some.

If you've got WOT and idle, then that CDI is probably OK. I would go through the carb again. Before you do, take out the spark plug when it stalls and see what it looks like. It will you give you an idea of the condition of the combustion chamber when it shuts off.

Ok Here is a little update. I got it out of the shed a couple of weeks ago. I rode it for about a half an hour, shut it off. When I went to start it to put it away, it wouldnt start. I pushed it in the garage and took the top end off of it. When I had the head apart nothing looked out of place. Valves had a good sealing ring all the way around and they were both straight with no signs of hanging up in the guides.
I put it all together and tried to start it, no spark. Ordered a CDI off of ebay. Got it, swapped it, still no spark. So today I am going to investigate the kill switch, wiring, coil, and stator. The connections on the CDI looked a little dirty, so Ill clean them up too.
I friggin hate electrical.

Well gang the stator is supposed to show 415 ohms +/- 10%. Mine shows 0. Looks like a good place to start.

Chasing an electrical bug myself.
Found bad connections on my cdi.
Good cleaning and all back to normal.
The cdi prices are silly!
Do you have an electric start or just kick?
Can you post a pic of the stator?
What is the flywheel diameter in millimeters?
Debating about opening mine up and swapping the cdi primer for one on a honda.
They can be had for 20$ then a pit bike/ honda cdi will work for mine.
Ordered one to test with but still waiting for delivery.
If the stator is too far different to swap in I was planning on adding resistors to bring the output of the stock down to tolerance for the pit cdi.
Kinda hesitant to open the case up if it is not needed.
For your stator. No common ground.
Check from black to brown and black to red need ohmed.
