Is the magneto producing current. What about the magneto?

Default I think

We replaced the fuse,The magneto Which goes to the pick up coil I think that was not prducing aLOT of voltage but we replaced the pick up coil so could the magneto be bad?

The magneto itself is original.

That magnetos/stator been spinning in that bike for 25 years... Most defiantly that could be it .

Im not sure how to test them or how much current the stator on that bike puts out but its something you might want to look into , if everything electricals new thats the only thing it could be, or did you replace the stator/magneto already?

I dont know much about the specific model but all engine setups tend to work alike.

I hope thats what it is. Good luck...
