dtwontrun Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 If anyone can help i'd be very greatful. I saved a DT80 from scrap heaven last year non runner. Apparently it did run until the magneto packed in i got a second hand magneto with points and fitted it....no spark Just wondering if its a CDI instead.... Anyway of finding out at low cost. Thanks
wild foamy Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 as far as im aware the only way to tell is to swap it for a known working unit and then check for a spark :\
dtwontrun Posted July 17, 2009 Author Posted July 17, 2009 thought as much - will have to try and source one . . any ideas where from
wild foamy Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 depends where abouts you are from mate? ebay is the best bet and available in most countrys, or maybe wemoto.co.uk, or bitzforbikez

Thanks so what was the first magneto, have you still got that one along with its backplate and coils etc? if there was no points in that one it is a CDI version isnt it?
dtwontrun Posted July 17, 2009 Author Posted July 17, 2009 1st one had points..thats why i got a replacement. will try and find a CDi part i think. thank you all

Has your bike got an ignition switch and a kill switch, if so unplug them both, (start with the kill switch) and check again for the no spark situation.
wild foamy Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 sorry folks, i was thinking of my DT50 which is CDI ignition and not points
JimR Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 1st one had points..thats why i got a replacement. will try and find a CDi part i think. thank you all All thats wrong is the timing is out after the obvious (coil, wiring & switches) have been tested some where on here is a thread that runs the same ... I'll look for it & post a link Regards Jim
