FAQ - Technical help |
|||||||
| We try to help you tracking Murphy down, but from afar this is always a very tricky thing to do. So, if you experience a problem, first please consult the pages shown below. If the problem can not be remedied, please do not hesitate to contact us, but please do give as much as possible information on the material you have and the nature of problem. A simple information that "It does not work!" is usually worthless. It needs to be more precise. Thank you! | |||||||

driving without battery? yes, but you should know the following ... |
|||||||
|
|
|||||||
| "does not work" | That is an description which is totally useless. Because we have to know what is not working, is it ignition, is it lighting. We need to know at what stage you did feel that it does not work, just installed, after successfull run, after some work on the bike. And what system do you have? | ||||||
| ignition related | lighting related | ||||||
| Please note that in our systems ignition is totally independent of the lights circuitry, so whatever ignition problem you might have, the regulator has nothing to do with it. | |||||||
| electric values of stator coils (Note: those are the only values you can check. please refrain from checking ignition coils, regulator and advance, you risk destruction!) | |||||||
| wrong turning direction? | |||||||
| what about petrol, carb, oil seals? | Consider that
parameters other than ignition could well be a possible cause of the
problems. Here a few suggestions of what to check (specifically for 2-strokes): |
