    @declan Are there any breaks in the wire, which could be causing a short circuit???

          @NINJA never that simple is it πŸ˜• I have power before the coil but when connected up I get nothing

            @declan Are you sure that the correct wires are connected to the right terminals bud???

              @NINJA yeah just as the original was, it will shock me every time but the second that power wire touches the ht terminal the power vanishes

                @declan It sounds like you have a short somewhere else? Re-check all the wires as something is a miss.

                  @NINJA I can’t find anything wrong it doesent make any sense I could understand if it was weak power but no power at all is flowing through

                    @declan Well something is causing the issue, try using a volt meter to check volt's & Amps etc

                        @declan Look in the Haynes/Owners manual there should be a list of voltages. You then just put one probe one each wire and check your readings against the ones listed.

                            @declan The ones to the coil would be the first place I would look. Then check any other wires associated with the ignition system. I suspect that you have something either not connected correctly or an earth is failing? Scrape some paint off underneath the ground eyelets to ensure that you have a good earth, as a bad earth will cause a short circuit and give you problems. πŸ˜‰

                              From experience the earths are prone to fail on old looms, check continuity using your multimeter from various places. Have you unwrapped the loom around coil area? Definitely worth checking, look through my red bike posts and you will see I had to renew earth from that area. Earth cable oxidised internally and started intermittently failing and quickly failed altogether .

                                @oldman I figure it has to be the stator because when I hold the power wires coming from the stator I get a decent shock but when I do the same but on my 50cc the jolt is easily 4or 5 times more powerful

                                      @declan I think wemoto sell this part. Worked for me.

                                      Provided you are talking about DTR.

                                      I have got the generic puller off the eBay and that has never let me down. Used if on countless of stuff.
