Why am I not getting a spark?

Loss of spark is caused by anything that prevents coil voltage from jumping the electrode gap at the end of the spark plug. This includes worn, fouled or damaged spark plugs, bad plug wires or a cracked distributor cap.

What would cause no spark on a dirt bike?

Besides fuel, your dirt bike will need air to start and run. Your motorcycle needs the right amount of air mixing with the fuel. A broken vacuum line can cause too much air to get into the combustion chamber, which will alter the fuel/air mixture, causing the engine to fail to ignite.

Why is my ignition coil not firing?

There are a few reasons for no spark, new coil pack could be defective, crank sensor, ignition module or bad wire in primary circuit, faulty ECM/PCM. You may have to have a good technician have a look, diagnose and estimate repair.

Can an ignition switch cause no spark?

No spark is one of the most common causes of a no-start condition. It’s the first thing I check for. The igniter or ignition module, the pick up coil or crank sensor, the cam sensor, and the ignition switch are included.

Why the ignition coil does not spark?

If the ignition coil does not have spark, it’s time to check its wires. Use a test light to check the continuity on the signal wire and power wire on the ignition coil. If both wires are functional but the coil fails to produce spark, the ignition coil or the ignition control module is bad.

Can you bypass CDI box?

A capacitor discharge ignition box (CDI) box is used in motorcycles, turbine-powered aircraft, outboard motors, and some cars. You can temporarily bypass a CDI box for troubleshooting purposes. Thus, it’s unable to store enough voltage to keep the engine running.

Why is there no spark at the coil?

There are a few reasons for no spark, new coil pack could be defective, crank sensor, ignition module or bad wire in primary circuit, faulty ECM/PCM. You may have to have a good technician have a look, diagnose and estimate repair. Second link gives detailed instructions for testing and diagnosing coil pack.

Can ECM cause no spark?

It is extremely rare for a no spark condition to be the result of a faulty coil or ECM. Users get fixated on these items and jump to the conclusion they must be responsible for their problem because these items are easy to see and replace.
