Unfortunately, other projects and daily driver issues took priority this summer, but I'm looking into replacing the stator, As it was sold as a street legal bike, and I plan on learning on it, I'd like to get a stator that'll power accessories, like headlights. I have yet to find one. Any suggestions?

It's been in a shed, I didn't think about checking wiring. Thank you for the suggestion!

Thanks for the welcome! Here's a couple pictures of the bike.

Hey all, I'm trying to get my dad's 78 DT400 running again, I started with cleaning the carb, replacing fuel lines, replacing the spark plug, and the coil, I'll picking up a new battery tomorrow. After replacing the plug and coil, there is still no spark, I've been kicking it over without the battery in it, but front my understanding that is it's kick to start it doesn't need a battery. I've been told that it could be the stator, which I've looked at prices online and that's something I'll have to weight until next year to mess with. Is there a way to test the stator to see if it's the problem? Could it be possible that there is another reason for it not having spark? Thank you in advance! '

Hey all! My name is Adam, and it was my goal this summer to try and get my dad's 78 DT400 running so I could start learning how to ride, and so I could get my M class. Unfortunately, I've run in to a snag and didn't get it running yet, but I'll talk more about that in another post. I'm new to bikes, but I've been messing with cars for a few years. I'm on my third Camaro, which is a 1999 Z28 that I have some big plans for, and I have a 1996 Z71 K1500 that I'm just trying to keep going until I can afford something a little more reliable. I'm new here, but I'm not new to forums, there's a few others that I'm a member on, as well. As the nicer whether comes to a close, I'll be messing with the bike less and less, so I may not be super active over the winter months, but as long as I have the bike, I'll have questions. I don't have any pictures of the bike on my computer, but I'll try uploading some on here when I get the chance, and make a build thread to keep track of the progress. Thanks for having me!
