I am testing the voltage coming out of it when I am kicking it over. (the wire that connects to the coil) I have tested it for DC and get around 12-16 volts with a good kick. The weird part is that it does not matter if the black and white wire is grounded or not or even if the damn pickup...

Thanks for the warm welcomes. Happy to be here!

For the last couple of days, I have been testing the hell out of my ignition system. I am getting no spark. Power is coming out of the stator, Power is coming out of the CDI, Resistance is spec on the stator, cdi, and coil. I bench tested the coil, and also hooked a battery up to it and got...

This is what it all looked like. Praise baby jesus for aligator clips! So i didnt need a new stator after all... Moral of the story: old rusty junk does not always need to be replaced!

Hell yea! We got juice. This worked out great. I found the ground some miraculous way coming out of the stator and grounded it to the frame. Then started cranking it over untill I found the wire that was pumping out the most volts(peaking around 40). Then alligator clipped that to the black...

I also decided to just go ahead and clean out my old carburetor. I was going to buy a crappy one from China off eBay but I hate China and I also hate crappy things. So I went at the carburetor with the Dremel after soaking it overnight and some PB Blaster. And now I'm waiting on my carb rebuild...

Ok, I am an idiot. I tested all my electronics (stator, cdi, and coil) AFTER i bought everything from ebay (thinking it was all going to need to be replaced) and come to find out its all good to go except for the coil (the only thing i didnt buy). So i am going to have to hunt down a 6v...

Since this is going to be a barebones build, I am going to make my own "wiring harness". I put a wiring diagram together with the help of Sonreir. This is the system I am going to use in order to run this bike. No battery, No keys, nothing I don't need Here are some photos of what I have to...

Being an automotive school dropout turned graphic designer I am a weird creature. This is important for 2 reasons. 1. I literally go crazy if I am not making things with my hands. 2. I am obsessed with minimal design to a fault. I recently had a really big urge to make something "real" which is...

SCRATCH THE STATOR ISSUE. I found one 8) http://www.ebay.com/itm/112156095057

YOUR THE MAN!! Thanks a bunch I went ahead and updated the diagram. How does this look? Also, does have or know anywhere I can find a new (or referbished) stator of this style that actually has color coded wires. ( I found this one from a ct110 you think it will work/have the same color...

Here goes nothing. I just bought a basket case of a cb125 that obviously does not run. This is going to be a bare bones wiring set up. Nothing but spark, air and fuel on this bike. It didn't come with much which is not a big deal as I don't want much on it. But it came with just enough to...

Whats up everybody. I just bought a cb125 for 80 bucks and it didn't come with much. I am trying to build something inspired by old race bikes. Fairings and such. This is going to be a no bull shi*t build (no lights or accessories) just give it gas and go. This little thing is going to be a fun...
