Can a bad rectifier cause weak spark?
A bad regulator/ rectifier will result in a dead battery, and once the battery is competely dead you will not get a spark.
Will a bad CDI box still spark?
Sometimes, a bad CDI does not cause sparks at all. Again, when a CDI box is about to go bad, it can lead to misfires, issues with starting, rough running or even stall the motor. Therefore, the only way you can tell whether your CDI has a problem is by confirming that everything else is in the right condition.
What happens if you don’t have a stator coil?
The stator coil generates the power for the spark plug and other accessories on small engines Without a stator there would be no spark at all, meaning the engine won’t run. While a stator is dying, it can produce a weak spark, causing the engine to miss or run poorly. Symptoms are often worsened as the engine warms up.
What should I do if my Honda stator is weak?
Note that as written this system will bypass the CDI portion of your ignition system (if present) and replace it with a more traditional one. I devised this system when the stator on my Honda XR-100 got so weak that it couldn’t power the spark plug, preventing the engine from running.
Where does the spark plug go on a stator?
-The two primary terminals on the ignition coil are shared by multiple components, and therefore will have two wires coming out of each. -The raised center terminal on the ignition coil feeds the power that goes to the spark plug. This is where the spark plug wire will connect.
What happens when a stator dies on an engine?
While a stator is dying, it can produce a weak spark, causing the engine to miss or run poorly. Symptoms are often worsened as the engine warms up. This needs to be a fairly heavy duty coil. I previously tried using two universal coils intended for small engines.

When to buy a new stator for your engine?
I devised this system when the stator on my Honda XR-100 got so weak that it couldn’t power the spark plug, preventing the engine from running. The stator on my model happened to be discontinued, and I didn’t want to buy a used one for over $100 when this particular stator is known for being weak and prone to failure.
Where do you put the wire for a new stator?
The wire marked red (coming from the engine) in the diagram is going to attach directly to the contact breaker points. There should already be a wire connected to the breaker points right where we need to put the new one. You need to remove that old wire and put the wire for the new system RIGHT WHERE THE OLD ONE WAS.
