We have spark! After basically rebuilding the whole stator and re-wireing plus new fasteners and a Ducati Energia CDI....we have a nice spark. Now a few fitment issues and she ought to go. Thanks to all the inputs from all of you! attached a nice flywheel timing picture

Yep got you. It’s a methodical learning experience for my son and I, who are new at this. And, if nothing else, our experience will serve as a guide for the next person that’s interested and learning to deal with vintage bikes of this sort.

Flywheel is off. The stator area was coated with a powdery-like corrosion. The plate mounting screws all needed to be extracted with success. The coils’ M4 (very hard metal!) screws all need to be drilled out, proving to be rather difficult. LT coil ohms reading is 693 Pick-up ohms is 40. Basically the stator plate needs to be rebuilt and rewired. Any ideas on removing these small screws (even a new left hand bit wouldn’t penetrate) and ohm readings? thank you.

Ever get it situated? We are similarly working out a 240Pro no sparker. Any pointers from your experience appreciated.

Thanks for all the tips. Excellent info. Thank you F240Motor. We have the puller ordered and as soon as we pull the f/w we will update our progress.

ScotTaco. I figured what you meant. Thanks for your help!!!!

Ok. Thanks ScotTaco. I’d appreciate a picture of the hook up. Gracias.

Hi there. What automotive coil did you use and how did you fit it on the TY? thank you. Hope yours is “firing on all cylinders “.

Excellent info. Thank you F240Motor.

Brilliant. Thanks.

This is used in lieu of a typical puller? If so, I can’t visualize how it pulls.

Thanks F.240Motor. Yep wires are very brittle. May be the culprit. Do you have a picture of the homemade holder? thank you.

Thank you F.156! and those readings are taken ground to red, ground to green? Just to clarify. Appreciate your help.

Thanks. Did so. When checking Green to Ground no resistance. Red to Ground no resistance. So problem is in wires, connections or the stator coil if I understand the system. . Cheers

Hi fellows. Interesting. We have Fantic 240Pro with same issue(s). Connected a new DUCATI Energia blue coil and.....no spark. Is there a way to see if perhaps this coil is bad? And from the stator comes 3 wires: Green, Black,Red. What would be correct ohm readings of these wires? And are they measured against each other or to chassis ground? thank you.
