Beth's Purple Monster - No Spark

Beth's Purple Monster - No Spark

Let us introduce you to Beth’s Purple Monster. That’s what she calls it.

She brought it to Virgil with no spark. After testing the stator and coil, Virgil found that the coil wasn’t getting a good ground contact with the frame.

This is a good reminder that whenever you get your frames coated, you want to make sure that the coil perch is making contact to bare frame.

Virgil removed the coating and then the coil had good spark. Beth ran the bike up and down the street and was pitching it sideways with a huge smile on her face! 😃

Beth: I definitely had a huge smile. Can’t wait to take Purple Monster to the dunes!!  Thanks Virgil! He also got me new brake lines ordered and installed.

This project article was written by Janel with plenty of help from Virgil. Virgil is the Banshee mechanic, and I am the website mechanic. I do own and ride a Banshee, which helps. 

The Re-Do crew hopes sharing our project info and specs may help some with their own projects, or that you find it interesting. Writing and editing these articles helps me (Janel) make better sense of the parts, fitment, and what goes with what. I want our technical info to be accurate and helpful.

Please do let us know if you like our project articles, or if you think I need to correct something. You can send an email to info@redo-parts.com - and your comments will be passed along to me. 

Thanks ~Janel 😉👌
