It's been almost a month since I posted, but I have been working on this. But with the serious lack of snow and the holidays, it has't been a priority.
Once I had the motor bolted in and torqued down, I connected the coolant hoses and the electrical. With the electrical hooked up I decided to do a quick pull test to verify my connections. Well, guess what? That's right, no spark! I double-checked the connections, made sure my tether was connected, key on and on/off button up. So, I grabbed my voltmeter and started testing all electronics from the stator up. All components tested fine, now what?!
Quite a long story made short, I found more than a few references to disconnecting the yellow wire harness from the stator and testing for spark then. Supposedly this bypasses ALL handle bar controls. I did this, still no spark. Then I remembered! I had a problem with the TSS (Throttle Safety Switch) and had disconnected it before the original motor went. So, despite what I read about the yellow wire harness bypassing everything on the handle bar, I disconnected the TSS. SPARK!! So much for the internet forums. I am ashamed of how long I went before doing this. That just goes to prove, don't believe everything you read.
