I have 1983 XJ650YICS and I bobbed it, replaced the key with a switch, now no spark at plugs I think, pretty sure its a wire, I bought it like this, it's a great bike, just need that wire connected.

No fire to plugs, i know it has to be a wire that I wired up wrong, somthng wrong because it ran fine before.

SOURCE: no spark at spark plugs so wont fire

Check the coils first, leaving the key on may have burnt out part of your ignition system.
Easiest way to check coils is to pull one lead off, plug a spark plug into it. Run a hot wire from the positive side of the battery to the coil ( Do Not Plug it in!!) . If you flash the wire on and off the power side of the coil it should make a spark jump across the sparkplug ( don't forget to earth the base of the plug.)
If the coils are ok, see if you can borrow a CDI unit to try in your bike ( it is good to have mates with the same brand of bike )
Don't forget to check all fuses first and make sure the "Kill Switch" on the handlebars is on.
Happy fault finding.

I have an L100 series John Deere tractor mower. Pretty sure the Magneto is not sparking. Need the diagram.q

A quick test is to unplug the small wire plugged onto the ignition module if it starts then it is good , you will need to plug it back in to shut it off when the key is in the off position.You will find the ignition module under the flywheel shroud, it has the spark plug wire on it. The wire runs through some safety switches on its way to the key and those switches are most likely the problem.

Mac 3516 chainsaw won't start

Electronic ignition units work off speed of rotation so make sure yoy are cranking the engine fast enough, make sure the plug is well earthed against the cylinder whilst cranking, make sure the switch is in the on position, if there is still no spark you will have to replace the unit.

Yes it comes from the coil. On the coil there is a battery side and a distributor side. The battery side comes from key switch. Also coil wire looks like plug wire that goes to coil of top of dis.

I need a wiring diagram for an 83 crown victoria starter coil

if you turn the key and the engine spins but doesnt fire try checking the timing for it to make spark at the time you need it to ,if it's out it wont catch and run or check for spark at the spark plug make sure it has spark use a dummy sparkplug in the boot and hold it on a ground and crank engine look for a blueish spark and if you have bare hands holding it you'll get a good jolt (insulated pliers)
