flywheel free spin

[budweiser_man]

first post, name is Matt from Oregon.

just picked up a 01 blaster and have some questions

right now it does not run.
wiring was all unplugged and think I have it all plugged into the correct locations.

I have been around other bikes but this is my first 2 stroke bike.

problem I am having right now is lack of knowledge. lol

when I got the bike it had its flywheel cover removed. what i dont understand is you can grab the flywheel and spin it by hand with little resistance. not sure if that is right. when i kick it over it spins a little but if you kick over slow it does not spin. it will wiggle some but that is it. looking online some I read that it could be a broken keyway and now the flywheel spins. common problem? or is my taper bad and allowing the flywheel to free spin.

flywheel removal do i need the special tool to remove the flywheel?

right now I am not getting any spark not sure if this is my problem or wiring. I am temped to get another harness off ebay for $30.

also how do i determine what model it is? looking online not there is a letter after the 200 on all diagrams. how do i determine which one it is?

looking further into this. the shaft is spinning. what does this shaft go to? and what is broken?

The shaft the flywheel is on is spinning freely by hand ?
You feel no resistance from compression ?
How bout while in gear ?
That could be a broken crank, which will require a full rebuild
See if there's any side to side play ?
Have someone hold the flywheel and watch the shaft as you slowly depress the kicker.

If it's just the flywheel spinning on the shaft, you'll need a flywheel/clutch holding tool, a flywheel puller, new correct Yamaha keyway, and lap the taper with valve grinding compound.

The flywheel is what produces spark and is likely your problem, not the harness.

The VIN # will tell you what year
