Baotion Bt125 still wont start

[kenny]

My Baotion BT125 T9 STILL wont start.(no spark from the spark plug)
checked the battery, spark plug, side stand and replaced the CDI unit.
There is still no power coming from the connectors to the HT lead.
Does anyone have any other ideas.
Bought it from the Internet Bike Shop but finding it really difficult to get any technical help from them!

I had a problem just like this a while ago. but i found it ws a faulty cdi.
check the power coming from the cdi and if it is ok you need a brand new coil ;D

[kenny]

Any information on how to do that and where do i locate the coil?.
I eventually spoke to the internet bike shop and they said it could be a faulty starter plate.
I would appreciate any help or instructions

hey

me again

doesnt make sense for it not to be the CDI, the coil was getting a very very small feed (0.03V), so no loose connections and i checked everythign from the spark to the Starter motor, its all engaging and turning over but the spark is nowhere to be seen,

Hiya
Ever heard of a faulty starter plate?, is this linked to the coil in any way.
I really need this fixed, the soonest the garage can fit it in is Aug 15th. any other ideas. PLEASE!!

[~ Gaz ~]

cnt u fit it yourself?
most parts are quite easy to fit

[ally1756]

never heard of a starter plate, asked my college tutor and he says that hes not sure what they mean by starter plate

[kenny]

the 2 wires black/red and blue/white tibs asked me to check for power which was next to this "starter plate"lead into the magneto,could this be the problem???

[Macrofeet]

The starter plate is more then likly the raised plate on the flywheel which makes contact with the pulse/pickup coil

if this is rusty or not the right height then you get problems its simular to a rota arm in a car


i had the problem of no spark with a 125 and i spent along time trying to get it working in the end after much time money and effort i gave up

I had exactly the same problem as you, and exactly the same response from the people I purchased it from, very helpful when taking my money when purchasing, very crap when it comes to advice/back up etc.
However, my problem turned out to be the connector blocks that plug into the cdi unit, if you have the same problem then purchasing a new cdi unit would make no difference.
What I did was to close the gaps on the metal connectors inside the white plugs using a very small jewellers screwdriver, plugged it back in and bingo instant start and it has been going strong ever since ( and that was about 500 miles ago)
Hopes this helps you

usually if there is no spark on a new bike it means there is a loose connection on one the block connectors under the front pannel

[ally1756]

its not new, and i dont have a flywheel puller kenny sorry, i got your voicemails but have been away on camp so couldnt reply, i think it might be worth trying to bridge the gaps a little

[kenny]

Have just fitted a new flywheel and guess what??? yep it still wont spark.
I tried closing the gaps but it hasn't made any difference.
I will check the connectors under the front panel next.
If anyone else has any other ideas please let me know

[ally1756]

omg this is ridculous , your scooter hates this world lol try changing the spark i know that sounds pretty dum but try it

[kenny]

just looked at the front panel and cant figure out how to take it of, so far i have unscrewed the main screw at the front, the 2 screws underneath and the 2 screws at the top of the centre cover.
any suggestions?

[ally1756]

triple check for bolts/ screws etc then check out the clips see if they slide, my bt50 need s a goove shove upwards or downwards cant remember lol to get it going
cheers
