Scrambler Ignition Woes!

Hello all, I'm still trying to get my 06 Carb Scrambler to hit on both cylinders. The bike still cranks like a new one, stays on my batt tender and reads 12.7 volts sitting still.

I have replaced the coil, just the right side as it is the problem. I have swapped sides to no avail.

I am at a loss which way to go from here. Could the ignighter be bad? Should the batt voltage be higher. It is the one that came with the bike and has almost always been on the tender. Could a bad batt be the cause of this problem?

I really do hate to give up and rent a trailer and make that sad trip to the local dealer! Any assistance with this problem would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

 

I just checked voltage with bike off and Ignition on and reading dropped from 12.7 to 12.2 Could it be as simple as time for a new battery?

 

I don.t have a clue as to the age of the battery, It came with the bike which I bought 3 yrs ago. I believe I'll go and replace it. All I can see is that it doesn't appear to be original, but I'm going to fix that. Wish me luck!

 

One brand new AGM battery and all is right with the world again! I had no idea that a barely below limit battery could cause this. Chalk up another lesson learned. Thanks Dozers Dad for the assist, that's why I love it here so much.

P.S. I work part time for a large auto supply company on the weekends and the only perk I get is a substantial discount on all my parts! As good as a raise in my book!

 

Well, My scrambler is still running poorly. I still have a single cylinder bike. I have eliminated the plugs, plug wires, coils, and have a brand new battery. I'm not sure where this leads me. I have been trying to be logical about this, even though I am frustrated/mad!

My triumph manual breaks the ignition down into 4 parts. 1 of which is a sensor that cannot be tested, only replaced along with both carbs. This is an 06 model and I will not spend that kind of money here!

Im left with a ignition pickup sensor, looks doable, or an igniter. There are tests that can be done but With my limited skills with a multimeter, I'm not very confident about this. I can't even find a diagram of the pin numbers/locations.

any suggestions, other than just give up?

 

I am currently on hold waiting on part arrival. The crankshaft position sensor will be replaced soon. And, no sir, I'm not getting any spark to the #2 cylinder.

 

Thanks for the good advice! I saw when you were helping Pike just the other day with his similar problem. If this is my next step, I will go here for an igniter. Thanks again.

 

What Next? I'm still waiting on my igniter to arrive in the mail. It is lost in the good old postal system. this is a first for me. I guess by the time I get this sorted, I'll have missed the whole season of riding. This whole thing is frustrating, but I'm still on hold. Updates to come, whenever!
