Electrical Issue

[Brett S]

Hello all,
Recently it downpoured and my bike did not want to start. Still was getting a spark here and there, so I thought water might have got in the carb. Well, I changed to a brand new carb, replaced the spark plug AND the CDI, and now no spark at all. Do you think my magneto is trashed?

Check all wiring connections, remove the kill switch from the circuit and see if that works. The magneto coil is sealed inside of the engine so it should not be getting wet. The CDI is a sealed unit, water can’t get into it either.
