mrtone Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 In short ( I have posted regarding this bike XJ 600 before - somewhere on the forum ) Anyway, before shelling out for a new ECU/EMU, would it be possible to 'hot wire' the bike as I've got no spark? Of course, if I can get a spark then I'll be confident in buying a new ECU/EMU. The original ECU was left (as was the Carbs etc in a box that filled up with water!!!) from the bloke that I bought it off I must add looooooollllllllllll. I'm beginning to think that this bike might cost me more than I paid for it £100 - having found out recently that there's a big hole on the swinging arm - exhaust side (Is this a common fault?) but I'm quite handy with an arc welder so that don't bother me.

blackhat250 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 THIS IS HOW IT WORKS,. the soarse coil generates power, its stored in CDI box, the trigger [ pulse coil] signals to release power from CDI to ignition/coil, = spark plug, , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
