Pioneer 700, no spark

[DRZRon1]

The 3 stator wires have nothing to do with spark, only charging.

The other 2 wires coming from the stator are the pulse generator or pickup coil. They tell the coil when to fire.

@kentuckypioneer
Have you checked the stator wiring to verify it hasn't been damaged by debris, also make sure the connections are tight.

thanks - I wasn't sure if the stator helped the system when firing - so I stand educated!!!

Common misconception

The 3 stator wires (yellow) output AC voltage in pairs that can be measured to verify each leg output is even and not dead if a charging issue appears to exist.

The pulse generator should pulse atleast. 7v DC, but there always higher. You need a peak voltage tester or an ignitionmate analyzer. A digital multimeter can't catch the pulse fast enough

If the pulse generator and spark plug caps are ok the ignition switch could be the problem.

I got busy and gave up. I guess I’m just not a mechanic. The shop I took it to called and said the stator was bad. I’ll follow up when I get the details. Thank you all for responding.
