So yeah, we'll see, I'll check all of the fuses just in case, reconect the battery just in case and take apart the start stop, maybe a hot wire loses conection, maybe...
Good price...

And regarding the fuses, the connectors can become bad, both the main connector for loom to fuse box, and under the fuses themselves.
It's been a few years since I had my Steamer, so I'm struggling to remember, but I don't think there are any other fuses.

Most T400 cdi units will work, they just have different rev limits and some minor timing differences.
Germany has many, as it was very popular over there.
This is probably the best value

Unplugged everything not related to the starting/ignition - same.
Does it have another fuse besides the main one in the "trunk" the rest are labeled horn/head/stuff like that.
Only place I havent checked for good contact is the start stop switch...could it be? Afraid of springs flying everywhere.
Cdi...yes on the way, but what if its a dud?

Think a swap of the cdi is the next place to go...

Petrol flow not relevant, it's being fed by a cup, no filter, no tee in the carb (just rebuilt them).
Even tried running it on starter fluid, no difference, also thought about fueling but still...ruled it out with the starter fluid.
Also float bowls full of gas, plugs full of gas.
Ghost relay is the sidestand/neutral switch thingy, bridged it.
Could all three coils leave the chat at once and cause such madness?

Leftfield, but how's the petrol flow?, the tank filter can collapse and starve the bike, as well as a tiny filter in the Tee near the carbs.

Nothing worked, alternator charging fine, also fixed DAR, fitted brand new pickup coil, no difference, bike starts then stops, sometimes no spark at all.
I'm out of ideas, cdi is on the way but ebay estimates 30'th this month, and of course its a second hand part, who knows if it works...
Anyone have a spare, working cdi?
WHAT ELSE CAN I CHECK?!?!
