September 19, 201510 yr I might have deleted the thread I started earlier. Trying to figure out why my 2001 rev3 won't fire. Has decent spark, new top end, carb tangs set low with little movement. 80:1 94 octane with stabilizer. The addict suggested maybe a woodruff key, so I'm about to check that out. Killing me that it won't start
September 19, 201510 yr Author Just noticed there is a chunk of the ignition cover missing and signs that water has gotten inside
September 23, 201510 yr Author Trying to order a flywheel puller and some things. Hopefully it is just the timing. Bikes had a few quwerks since I got it.
September 24, 201510 yr Some people cut a small v in the base of the cover to allow water to drain out of the cover rather than water building up inside the cover.
September 25, 201510 yr Author It broke a bit of the cover off where the chain guard meets the cover. Gonna silicone the new one up, maybe drill a drain hose too, idk. Edited September 25, 201510 yr by greenlepard
October 1, 201510 yr Author Got the puller and seal while I have it apart. Anything to watch for on these bikes? My first beta
October 3, 201510 yr Author So here's the stator, seems OK I think. Not sure about the copper plate on the coil top right in the pic though. It looks like its been rubbing.
October 3, 201510 yr Author So I'm thinking it needs a stator. I'll check the resistance. Sparks ok with a plug against the head, but when hooked up to a spark tester it was very weak. Anyone reading these ramblings have any thoughts?
October 5, 201510 yr Author Clened up the stator coils and magneto. Ran a new ground to motor mounts from cdi. Starts second kick cold.
November 14, 201510 yr How was your flywheel key? (woodruff key) I had the same problem with my 2014 EVO300, we went though the whole bike, to find the flywheel key was sheered. Replaced the key, and bingo...exhaust came out the pipe....
