spark question

[jerseyblaster]

What's going on guys have a quick question ....is it possible to have spark on the bike but a no spark due to timing

 

[Awk08]

it is possible to have spark....at the wrong time
if the flywheel woodruff key is broken or missing.

 

[jerseyblaster]

How about I the flywheel wasn't torqued properly ..... cause the kid has fuel,compression,air no air leaks . I think it's cause the flywheel
Wasn't tight ,what do you think

 

[Quadman1]

It has to be tight yes, but the key is a must.

 

[harley1-5]

could be if it was loose could have sheared the key

 

[jerseyblaster]

The key is there I took a look at it tonight. I was able to hold the flywheel with hand and turn the nut off.edit
Wudruff key Is ok but the spark was jumping all over the wire.

Wudruff key Is ok but the spark was jumping all over the wire.

spark was jumping all over what wire ?

 

[jerseyblaster]

The spark plug wire I shocked the hell out myself lol....I'm thinking the timing is off

 

[Awk08]

possible the plug wire has cracks ?
or the connection to the plug up inside the boot is burnt up ?

 

[Herpderplol]

Timing off would not cause sparks to fly everywhere..
Chances are you have a wrecked boot that goes on the spark plug.

But if you only want to keep saying timing, go ahead...

 

[Quadman1]

Timing wouldn't be off then, I'm still kind of confused so it has spark? Is it a nice healthy spark? Did you try a new plug? How's the coil? Is the flywheel clean from dirt?

if you run the bike in the dark i bet you can see spark jumping off the wire it sounds like the insulator has broke down and is grounding out where ever it can change it and it should run right again you could try and wrap the wire with electrical tape to see if it helps or heat shrink but changing it is the route to go

 

[jerseyblaster]

I do recall him telling me that the insulator boot wasn't rite on his bike......i wouldn't say that the spark was strong it could of been a lot stronger imma try what everyone has suggested I'll let you guys know thanks alot everyone

 

[jerseyblaster]

I will try what everyone suggested thanks alot for the input I will let u guys no what happens
