MX 360 No spark
« on: April 03, 2011, 05:29:06 pm »
Hi, I have just dragged my MX 360 out after about 9 months of sitting in the shed to prep it for next weekend and It has lost spark.
Do the MX's have a common problem with the electrics?  Any ideas??

Yamaha 360 ? usually not.

Run some wet dry over the contacts on the pulsar and the rotor, may not be the cause but you can be sure as eggs that you have got some surface rust on both steel faces.   Usually moisture is always in there if you didnt leave the side cover off, so thats where id go straight to.

Thanks for that Freaky, I will try that tonight. By the way it's the clean one with the dint in the side of the tank from the plaster guys at your place.
