Posted July 1, 201212 yr hi guys i have a problem with my yb100 not starting i have changed the ingtion coil and spark plug points n condeser but it still wont start i then thought it might be low compression but the compression is good i then checked the soures coil in the magneto and im only getting a reading of 0.2v iv cleaned the flywheel up and checked the connections and they all seem fine but now im at aloss for wot to do or check any ideas?
July 1, 201212 yr Moderator you changed the points Callum, check they are clear of ground the spring is clear and the insulators are present and correct...it's been a long long time since i had a bike with points
July 1, 201212 yr Author hi airhead iv checked the points n there all clear and the insulators are all there.
July 1, 201212 yr Moderator when you measured the voltage of 0.2v was your meter set to AC voltage setting?
July 1, 201212 yr Author yh it was running till about a month ago it just cut out i was testing its new exhaust at the time
July 1, 201212 yr Moderator one last thing with the points open what resistance do you get from the moving point connection to ground?
July 2, 201212 yr Author hi mate i tested the resistance today but i checked the connections again and found a lose wire so i put some more solder on it so it was a solid connection and it runs thank you for all your help. i also have another problem when i am indicating and press the brake my indicator goes out untill i release the brake any help would be great.
July 2, 201212 yr Moderator Could be anything from a past it's best battery to connections on the 23 year old loom to unclean earth points I would go with earth points and battery first and is the battery filled to the correct level with de-ionised water? is it 6v or 12v by the way?
July 2, 201212 yr Author its a 6v system and its just had a brand new battery about a 2month ago coz it dint come with 1and filled to the correct level and iv cleaned all the earth points connections and switchs and its still the same
