Curvy signal generator anyone?

[sam anon]

I'm after this to get my SV working again.

Hopefully someone on here has one!

[yorkie_chris]

Maybe, I'll check

[sam anon]

Great, thanks for looking, and god, this forum is so useful, and hopefully saves alot of people time, hassle and money.

Keep it up everyone!

I tihnk I sold my spare to nadinedebiene when her generator packed up. Why don't you PM her and get signal generator from her knackered genny? You will need to do bit of soldering.

If you want you can post me both and I will swap them for you

[sam anon]

I will do, thanks for getting back to me. I've also been offered one by pm so have a couple of optiions.

Is there anyway of identifying which part is the faulty one, the signal generator or the generator coil bit?

[yorkie_chris]

One will cause you to have no spark, other one will mean your battery goes flat. Failure of either is pretty rare

[sam anon]

So far no joy!

It's part "1" on this link if that helps?

Surely this can't be an SV specific part? Does anyone know if it is used on any other Suzukis?

The link doesn't work on that - it just links to the main page since you've got to navigate through it in the frames to get to the specific bit. If you're on about part 1 on the magneto page (the big coil of wires that you bolt into the alternator cover), I've got one knocking about in my garage from my lunched engine. Strictly speaking I've got an entire engine, so if it's not that bit, I can almost guarantee I've got it anyway.

Working link! It's part "1".

That is the stator and it is the pulse generator AND the generator.
One tells the ignitor box when to fire the spark, the other charges the battery. Which is your problem?

[sam anon]

Oh, I thought stator and generator were US and UK terms for the same thing! :confused:

My issue is no spark, the battery charges (or at least used too!), but the assembly only produces 1.05 volts, when it should be producing 3 volts.

Just for my (and future others) reference Chris, which part is which? I think I'm right in thinking the pulse or signal generator is the sensor part that sits in the side of the cover (held with bolt "6" in the image)?

[yorkie_chris]

Yup that's the signal generator. I would guess yourproblem is elsewhere, it's hard to get a good peak voltage reading from that sensor.

Have you got power to ICU, coils, good earth, 100 ohm on anti-hotwire wire, power at coil, good plug, good HTs?

[sam anon]

Retrospectively stupidly, I took that part off after only two electrical checks.

The ICU was receiving 1.05 volts from the signal generator, so I checked this at the signal generators connector to rule out a bad connection, and got a similar reading.

Do you think it's worth re-assembling and checking the areas you mentioned above?

[yorkie_chris]

Yeah, cos it's free
