Dio Swap... having a slight issue.

wikked_spree57 · Post by **wikked_spree57** » Sat Mar 07, 2009 5:23 pm

Alright so I worked around all the wiring and the motor mount issue I had... Now this is my problem. When you kick it over, it only sparks once per kick. I put the plug in the motor and tried it anyways, same result. One fire, just a *pop* without the exhaust. Sometimes two.

I was thinking I should swap in the Dio CDI box, but the problem I'm having is I can't find the d*** thing. I have an 87 SE50P, the one that looks like a giant Spree.

Let me know if you guys can come up with something.

Alright swapped in CDI, no change. Kick kick *pop*. Compression is fine, I know this much. I heard the bike run before I bought it.

All the views and yet no replies... What a shame. Oh, for reference, I hacked the S wiring off the frame and made an adapter so I wasn't hacking my original wiring on the 87. The colors were all the same and everything lined up good, just got this ignition issue now.

or not gripping right something could be wrong in the kickstart

Kickstart is just fine... I even cranked it by hand quite a few times.

Lets put it this way - kick and electric start are fine. Nothing wrong, I just don't have the electric hooked up. I'm going to try that next.

I get one or two sparks for about every 20 revolutions. It's getting frustrating.

I got it. IDK what the * it was, but I used the electric start and it fired right up... it ran perfect as * but the motor d*** near redlines at about 15 and I'm getting 18 tops, but that was with no airbox (I got a little excited and forgot to put it on... ADHD moment).

I'm going to add the airbox and give it another go.

I could be wrong but it sounds to me like the drive belt must be worn.

Just a thought.

Alright I'm going to look at it later on tonight. ALOW1, I got your message about the key set from the 94 I ripped the motor off of. I made you a counter offer, so let me know.
