To start with, Right after changing throttle cable motor wouldn't start. Not sure whether I stopped getting spark before or after. Tried a little starter fluid to start and small fire started about the size of a wooden match. Put out with fire extinguisher. I don't get any spark. Either no voltage reading or 29 volts from stator. I disconnected all wires to and from stator and same results. I cleaned stator just in case extinguisher stuff got on it even tho I didn't see any. No voltage from CDI. Not sure what wires to test on regulator to test it. 2 yellow a red and a gray. Don't know which is in and which is out. I have a Yamaha manual for this model but doesn't help much. I counted threads on the ends of cable when I replaced. Not sure what home position would be on black plastic part with the cam follower roller for carb linkage. Also, linkage on carb linkage is frozen. I don't want to change stator yet, would a bad regulator blow a stator?
