I fixed my starter cable on my trike and when i wanted to go for a flip i noticed that one of my magneto's dont work......
After droping the 1st mag the engin wants to cut and on the other mag switch nothing happends...............any info on what to check or a wiring diagram or something please....

Replace your spark plugs,and look if the plug wires is still in place.The fact that the motor still runs with one mag switch off,sounds like only one plug is not working.
Hope for the best

Have replaced all plugs 4hours ago......
When i switch the 1st mag off the engin cuts......
When i switch no 2 off nothing happends......

Probable caue:
a)No 2 mag is dead
b)No 2 mag is already switched to ground
c)No 2 mag "live/input" wire to the switch is open circuit

Suggested actions:
a) remove all four plugs and MAKE 100% SURE you have them grounded to the engine.(how you do that is your problem, I won't be holding them in my hand though :D ) Spin the starter and check for spark
b) remove the "ground side" wire from the switch and connect a temporary wire. Throw the switch and touch this temp. wire to ground and see if the rpm drops
c) Use a multimeter to check for continuity from the charging coil to the input side of the switch

For what it's worth, my guess is you broke some connection/wire whilst working on it......

hAVE TESTED........

2 wires green and wht going into the engin, i do get a pulse on those 2. but on the other coil going into the engin green and wht wire no pulse.,.......?????


Here we go strip engin crank pulley..................

Have tested what?

Have tested if there is a signal between the 2 wires going to the inside of the engin....

What he mean is that we tested the two sets of white and green wires leading from the loom into the motor. One set gives us 285 ohm and the other set is open circut.

Please make sure you're not chasing around in circles by performing the simple tests I described or by eliminating those items.

If it is as you're describing it.........then sorry for you. Pull the flywheel and get to the stator. The green/white leads should have anything from 280 - 330 ohm resistance. In your case 285 is good. The other one is BAD NEWS

BTW...is your starter fitted at the back by the flywheel or do you have an E box with a starter?

B Box with starter at the back.


Quentin trek nader jou oorpakkie en gereedskap kussie.

Listen guys

I have JUST had EXACTLY the same problem. Not to say my problem was the same as yours. One of the wires from the magnetos had broken off RIGHT against that black box thingie, INSIDE the covering. Solowings gave me good info. I "jiggled" each wire and listened to revs while engne was running. Eventually isolated wire broken andmanaged to re-connect it. Has been working like dream since for about 6 hours.

Incidentally, a bit earlier I lost all charging on my battery (no current to the pod). Was also told that I would have to replace stator. After opening, it was discovered that one of the wires had also boken off inside the covering where it connects to the coils. Opened it, soldered, re-covered and that has held for over two years.

Bennie dankie vir jou help!
Ek gaan maar more verder aangaan wag dat Tyron my gaan help om die prop vas te hou as ek die no 30 nut moet loskry........Ek sukkel bietjie alleen om die prop ook nog vas te hou.....

Quentin, look for the wire you damaged when you worked on the starter. That's why I asked whether it was in the back or not :D :D
