March 7, 200818 yr I have a 1999 200 Techno,had it about 6 months with no problems but tonight I went to the shed to give it a once over for a trial on sunday and it won't start. It seems to be getting plenty of fuel as the plug is wet after a few kicks,though I cleaned out the carb anyway,just to be sure. It has a spark but it seems very weak and not very blue.Tried new plug,cleaned all connections,earths etc but no joy. Anyone any ideas,things to try? Rotor,Stator,Black box? I bought a twinshock Bultaco 2 weeks ago and took it to a trial last week,though I took the Beta on the trailer just in case the Bult gave me any trouble.It ran faultlessly but I think the Beta is in the huff!
March 7, 200818 yr do an ohms test on the stator should read about 430 .my money would be on the stator packed up.

March 8, 200818 yr do a test on it first .dont buy another stator get yours repaired by steve hardaker at motoplat it will outlast a genuine beta one

The website does not quote any postage or turnover times. I have a basic multimeter in the shed,will it do? Do I just measure the resistance between red and brown wires? I am a car mechanic and M.O.T. tester but electrics/electronics is a black art I haven't much experience of.
March 8, 200818 yr get a loan of a meter that measures ohms and phone steve hardaker for advice the guy is brand new i got mine done it was about
March 8, 200818 yr postage to steve in spain is about 3 pound and turn around about 10 days but itss a lot better than beta ones when its done had 2 done by steve no probs at all

March 9, 200818 yr Author Been out to the shed this morning and tested stator with my basic multimeter.Reading I have is around 260.I assume this is my problem.I have mailed Bradford ignitions,waiting for a reply.Thanks to everyone for advice.

Yeah, I emailed them and I'm still waiting for a reply - don't hold your breath! I'd phone them if I were you.
December 8, 200817 yr Hi All I have a very similar problem however I seem to have 450 or so ohms across the coil. I found a diagram for a 1999 250 techno although mine is a 200, they don't seem to tally does anyone know if there is a difference or better still does anyone have a proper diagram please? I cannot really read the one I downloaded. On the socket from my stator I have 5 wires plus a yellow single and an earth making 7 in all, two of the cables into the socket give 450 (or so) ohms. If I need to get the stator off, is it special tools to get the flywheel off - has anyone done it before? Any help appreciated.
December 9, 200817 yr I think my 270 Techno just uses a 3-legged bolt puller but it has been a while since I pulled mine off. Most use a similar type, screws into the flywheel centre. Available on the internet for not much from many places as well as plenty of bike shops. Of course there are many variations, I have a set of about 15 different sizes. If you use the 3-legged type careful you dont screw the bolts in too far as they can touch the stator and damage the coils... HTH, Cheers, Stork
