  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

125-200cc CR Ignition Resitance

Can anyone out there with a CR125/250 do me a huge favour & test their igniton for me & tell me the resistance between the red/black & red/white wires coming from the stator.
Regards
 
I have tested quite a few 125 cr exciter coils and haven't had one yet below ~22 ohms. 20 seems light and you could have a problem generating a low rpm spark with that little effecive windings. It is very possible you have a short across some of the windings. When I have re-wound exciters I usually end up with 26-27 ohms. I am adding about 10% more windings on each pole and it is giving me a nice healthy spark at kick over rpms. I will see if I can find an "official" resistance value for you.

Are you testing a CR250 ignition? They are different.

It's a 1999 CR125 stator

Thanks again Wal,

I'd like to compare it to what we have.

I have been playing around installing the CR igniton conversion in my 95 WR125
I have a complete 1999 CR 125 ignition, unfortunately the exciter coil on the stator was shot.
I've had experience rewinding motors many many moons ago, so I decided to give it a go & rewind it.
I had no idea of the resistance value so I set about it the old school way.
(This is about the time I should have posted this thread, not after I rewound it:D )

I cut & counted the windings around the posts, 420 turns x 0.25 mm (32AWG)I sourced some enamelled wire, the closest size I could get to the original windings. 0.26mm (31AWG) was all that was available. I hand wound 420 coils wound on both posts, then tested & found 20.5 ohms,epoxied it up, baked it, then soldered it all together then installed it & it runs.

I think the change in diameter of the wire may be responsible for lower resistance, I doubt it if I could have wound much more onto the posts with this size wire. Using a smaller gauge wire would allow me to get the extra 10% or so more windings you speak of onto the posts comfortably to bring the resistance up to 25ish ohms
So who knows :excuseme: we will see how it goes.

Next to wind the lighting coils on as well. Any ideas on that one mate?
