What kind of motorcycle is it? What year?

Is it a 2-stroke or a 4-stroke?

Does it have a battery?

The only "Big Bear" motorcycle I ever heard of was an old Yamaha, made
in the 1960's, and it wasn't a 400, it was a 305cc 2-stroke model that
had ignition points and needed a battery for the lights.

It's normal for *some* 4-stroke motorcycles to have oil inside the
stator cover. If a 2-stroke motorcycle has oil inside the cover, that
usually means the oil seal behind the stator is leaking.

Does this engine have mechanical ignition points or does it have a
magnetic pickup coil that sends a signal to a "CDI" or ignition
control unit?

Mechanical ignition points have to be clean and dry and properly
gapped and the timing has to be set when you install new points.
Ignition points won't work if they have oil on them.

If you have an electronic ignition, the magnetic pickup coil will
still work OK even if there is oil on the pickup.

Electronic ignition systems never go out of time and it is rarely
necessary to replace the pickup coil, just check all the wiring to see
if it is clean and the connections are tight.

CDI's (ignition control units) either work, or they don't, there's
seldom any time that they work intermittently.

 

Hey, if he can't even communicate in English, much less give basic
information like what bike, why bother?

    Why bother?  What if that guy was you and you needed help getting
something you had running?  I am sure you would be trying to find an answer
and I am also sure you wouldn't like reading snide remarks either.  If you
can't help, don't.....just because you may know something he doesn't in this
area, doesn't mean he isn't smarter than you..... as for me,  I learn alot
just reading these newsgroups.  Give the guy credit for wanting to learn
about what he owns... I am sure he will apreciate your help.
    At least the guy is trying to wrench his own bike.  Its true, we need
more info to help him out better.. I am sure that info will be forthcoming
so he can get the help he needs.  Plese be a little more patient.

    Ok.... I am putting on my flame retardant suit now....
