2018 300XC No Spark
2018 300XC No Spark
Well I've been troubleshooting my 300 for over 8 hrs now, it has not spark. I'm wondering if anyone lives in the NW and has a 300 CDI I can pop in to see if that fixes it? I live in Tuscany. I think a 2017-2019 should work. XC-W should work too.

I’m in the high SW, close to Aspen Landing if you don’t find something closer. Same bike.
Re: 2018 300XC No Spark
Thanks I may take you up on that, I have one lined up for tomorrow but we'll see if he can make it. I'm in Tuscany so fairly close.

Re: 2018 300XC No Spark
Well it's not the CDI, I tried two different ones. I've tried a few ohm readings on the coil and that may be it. Anyone have one I could try? I'd probably just bring my bike over and drop yours in for a quick try as it's ready access under the tank.

Had a similar issue on a 2017, turned out to be a wire broke off the stator

Re: 2018 300XC No Spark
I have a new stator in the box if needed. And a regulator from when I was chasing a charging issue....
Re: 2018 300XC No Spark
I've checked resistance on the stator leads, everything looks ok there. Also checked against grounds. What is weird is barely any volts are getting to the coil, like 0.4V or something when I hit the starter button. But I've also done a bunch of resistance readings on the coil and they seem funny too. I'd like to try the coil first to rule it out. I've had the case off and exposed the stator and everything looks fine.

Pick up coil?
Re: 2018 300XC No Spark
The coil by the spark plug is what I believe has failed.
Re: 2018 300XC No Spark
Well it's not the coil. Did some more googling and though guys have had the stator resistances check out they still have been fried. I'm thinking this may be it, as the black coating on mine looks quite bubbly.
Mike can you PM me your #? I don't have it anymore and you are actually quite close as I'm in the NW now.

For anyone curious, it ended up being the harness. I was able to swap parts out with another bike to troubleshoot

Glad you got it figured out.
