hi lads, I dont seem to have a spark in my beta techno, its a 99 b6.

The bike started getting hard to start 3 weeks ago after washing, you could kick it 20 times and it will not start then just go on the next kick. If i stall or turn it off during a spin it will be the same trying to get it started again. Iv cleaned the carb and fitted a new plug, i have fuel, clean and oiled filter and tons of compression.

I removed the new plug and could not see any spark turning it over by hand so i held the plug while turning it and I didn't even get a small shock.

I did a few searches and it lead me to this forum and so i checked decided to check the stator, I disconnected the connection where the stator connects to the cdi and put a multi meter in the red and brown wires and am getting an average reading of 443.5 ohms, quite near to the recommended 480-480 ohms iv read and just Reading uk motoplats site they say between 400-450 is perfect

Any ideas before I put a match to it?

Thanks lads

Could be the trigger coils.

Any way to test it?

Send the stator of to Bradford ignitions to test, Don't trust a multimeter as stators are voodoo magic.

How much do they charge for that and how much for a replacement?

Whats the procedure to remove it?

Cheers

Have you checked (disconnected) your kill switch?

Yup kill switch is gone

I had a similar issue on my beta techno 99 not getting spark. I ended up finding a loose ground when I replaced the killswitch.

I couldn't get my beta to run at all without a killswitch

Just tested the coil, only getting between 5-9 ohms when i put one test rod in and another against the frame of the bike, is that a correct reading?

Try removing the plug cap and trimming till you get new good wire on the plug lead.
