July 19, 201016 yr Hi, more electronic issues... just wondering how you can tell if a bike has a lighting coil or not? my bike (beta techno 250, 98 dougie lampkin rep...) doesn't have any voltage coming from the yellow that comes from the flywheel and is meant to power the fan, so thought that since my bike xcurrently has no lights on it I could use the lighting coil to power the fan instead? just can't see any free wires coming from the fly? thanks!
July 19, 201016 yr The Lighting coil also powers the fan. You have one, its not working by the sounds of things. A rewind or replacement is your only option. Check for silly issues first though -examine the wiring all the way to the stator. Cheers, Stork
July 20, 201016 yr had to this twice to my 99 techno 250 (owned it about 5 years with minimal use), apparently the components with the stator just fall apart with age.
July 21, 201016 yr Author traced all wires back to stator to check for any breaks (in vain...) and pulled flywheel just now, so i'll get stator off tomorrow and hopefully get it sent off to west country soon! then at long last my fan might bloody work! thanks people Edited July 21, 201016 yr by Tom2010
