250rtc engine/carb problem

I would also think that .9 is within the range of resistance on the ignition coil, they have low number typically .5-1.5 ohms.


But if the manufacturer has higher numbers then …well you would like to rely on those values, but the Chinese factor and who is selling the bikes as well all plays into that.


They should be able to send you out both, neither part is expensive.

Then take it back to the mechanic and have him install them and retest.

read it all, amazing stuff he has. So first I should have checked the spark to see where the problem was coming from as barnone stated

Yep,
I think I asked you twice to get one of those spark testers at Harbor Freight.

First thing I check.

so I should go out and ride until I get the problem, then hook up the tester and then what? What should I look for? Whats the proper procedure?

also guys when inspecting the spark plug if too white or powdered running lean, if too black its too rich right? any guides you guys use for this?

Matt,
I and others have been trying to advise you for a week or more but you seem to ignore our suggestions.

You should look for a spark in the clear plastic bulb of the spark tester. If no spark then you have an electrical problem. What the fuck do you think a spark tester is for?

Not to be mean but you seem like you should not own a Chinese motorcycle since they require some basic mechanical/electrical skills to maintain them. You should buy a bike from a local trusted dealer that can maintain your motorcycle.

You are not pulling our leg are you? Trolling?

[mattbujor]

barnone no lol, no troll, and hey just trying to get the proper procedure, and yes I actually do have a mechanical tendency, not going to give you my degree and graduate school but yes, I think I do hold a little knowledge ( sarcastic voice ).
But back to the spark tester, any type of misifiring or say there is a spark but very weak, type of thing I should know?
