Can a spark plug make a motor run poorly?
Spark plugs with the gap set too small on them can make the motor run poorly. If you have no spark and your trigger tests ok, your stator tests ok and you have tried a new set of coils then we’re possibly looking at a bad CDI box. There is no real good way to test the CDI other than swapping the box out with a known good CDI box.
What to do when your engine has no spark?
Insert a spark plug tester into the plug boot and ground it on a piece of metal on the engine. Finally, Have someone crank the engine and watch for spark. Remove one of the coils from the spark plug. Use an extra spark plug. A spark plug tester. Or even a screwdriver in the end of the coil.
What causes a no spark condition open loop?
If after unplugging the 4-plug connector there is no spark or the spark still looks weak, this tells you that the problem is in the major ignition components like the stator, coils, cdi, spark plugs, spark plug wires, possibly a short in the wiring harness, a bad trigger coil or on EFI models your Injector Coils are bad (they measure 19-20ohms).
Why is there no spark in my ignition?

If your vehicle stalls unexpectedly during operation and will not start again, it is likely because of loose or corroded electrical connections in the ignition module. In this case, check the switch, clean oxidized terminals, and replace broken wires if necessary.

What should I do if my motorcycle fuse keeps blowing?
It’s a good idea to keep a spare main fuse on hand at all times because they can go at any time. If the fuse continues to blow, you will have to check other components of your electrical system to see what is causing the excessive amperage. Faulty wire grounds are a very common problem, but can sometimes be difficult to track down.
What causes a car to stall with no spark?
