I think I need to replace the coils on my wife's lf250 cruiser. I have fire going into coils but nothing going out to plugs. Been searching net to no avail. Where can I buy parts. (electrical parts) Bike also will not turn over from starter buton, but will from solinoid. Does coil have anything to do with this?
Hi guy. We will try to help you with the diagnostics and parts sourcing. I don't personally have the LF250 cruiser to check the line voltage while cranking thats going into the coil. This is a good place to start the hunt.
Could you post that voltage information?
If the starter button doest work than I would check the main circuit fuse first. This is the only red (+ Positive) wire that comes off the battery (its fused) besides the thick red wire going to the solenoid. Then I would check to see how much if any voltage is going into (not through) the solenoid when you press the start button.
With the key on and the Engine stop button in the (RUN position), do you have power to all lights and instrumentation?
And If not, then its probably the fuse mentioned earlier that is easy enough to find,check and replace.
No, on the coil working since the starter system doesn't depend on its existence. power does go through the engine stop button (RUN position) and the starter button (PRESSED position) to operate and close the solenoid to power the starter directly from the battery.
The engine stop button (OFF position) cuts power to the ignition system to shut down the motor, and it also prevents the starter button from sending power to the solenoid to turn the starter over.
Take your time and post you findings. Below is a good start to locating parts.
