Hey all, first time here, from Alberta Canada, I hope someone can help me out. I just got a Honda 680 from my cousin who got it brand new, it’s completely original untampered. It randomly had no spark coming from the stator/ pulse pick up, I replaced it it ran good. Let it run a good 5 minutes, it ran good reved it up it worked like it should, I jumped on floored it down the road and it just died instantly, same issue, my pulse ignition has no spark again. There was a little oil in the stator is that normal, I really don’t wanna burn out another stator, they are not cheap. Thank you

my first thought is the reg/rec is causing the stators to burn out :).

Thanks I have checked for wires yes but everything I can find looks in very good condition, the machine wasn’t used for mudding so it’s all pretty clean.



heres a good tutorial on how to test a regulator/rectifier.

Oil in the stator area is normal, have you checked your harness for any bare wires? particularly in that stator assembly.

It was actually not an own Honda part, maybe that’s the problem. Not cheap burning these things out like that
