davieboy Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 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!

davieboy Posted March 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 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 What is the postage cost/time from Spain? 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technowaldo Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billboat10 Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashbabble Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stork955 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
