I just bought an 05' Yamaha 70 TLRD which is in excellent condition and just got around to try and fire it off. No luck. Fresh/brand new battery and it just turns over. I checked spark and there's nothing at either of the three plugs/boots. I'm "electronically challenged". Any suggestions as to what I should check? I unfortunately do not have a DVA. I'm hoping it's not the CDI as it's an expensive fix. Thanks for the help.

Okay, to follow up....for some weird reason the previous owner had the Crank Position Sensor and the Pulser wires crisscrossed. I swapped them over and immediate spark and fires right up with a bump of the key. Thanks 99Yam40, that's one of the first things I looked for.

I never would have thought to ask you to check for what you found.

glad to hear you found an easy fix
