So i grabbed an 04 crf450 with no soark. Stupidly i started replacing individual ignition components with 06 crf450 parts, thinking i had an 06. Long story short - i'm now running tested and proven 06 crf450 cdi, ignition coil, pulse coil, magneto/stator. The only original 04 parts are the loom and the flywheel. It all fits other than a few terminations which were same color wires but different type of plugs (single wire plugs).
I have very intermittent spark (using spark tester and spark plug). 1 strong spark every 10th kick.
I know the easy option would be spend money on new electrics however, ive just spent so much on the 06 parts.
Does any1 know if the 06 parts are compatible with the 04?
Everything fits so snug and looks like a straight swap. I'm stumped to the point where im thinking maybe it needs oil around the flywheel to help spark...
Thanks
