Ok, So I put in another stator and pulse generator. Still no spark. Does anyone have any other idea other then maybe the ECT? Getting frustrated.

Is that possible? Would have to bypass the ECU but I do have an extra chinese system in inventory. HHHHMMMMM?!?!?!

So I'm thinking the ECT is going to be the problem. It all started after adding the water to the cooling system. The ECU is good. I reset it and if there were a problem with it, I would have no electricity already. I have the first one that came with the bike and that has no response at all. It is amazing how much more complicated the honda is compared to the Chinese cheapo bikes. But that's why they are so cheap I guess. I might have put a surge of voltage to the ECT when I connected it to a power source when trying the kill switch. That might have fried it which will cause the shutdown, on other Hondas.

As for the 2007 service manual you provided, thanks and it seems they are all very similar so I will try that. A new IPG is incorporated within the stator and is 200 plus dollars through Honda, I can only imagine the ECT since it is only a sensor would be less. So here it goes.............

I was thinking by interrupting the kill wires it would not start at all without flipping an extra hidden switch. But that is no longer in play. I have all wiring back to factory standards. I actually have the bike back at a local honda dealer and they said there's no voltage coming from the IPG. But they won't tell me for sure unless I buy a new main harness and ECU. So I guess the IPG is bad. From what I know the IPG is on the stator on the ruckus and it's an expensive part. I was hoping everyone's knowledge on here would trump the honda guys. And it has. But it seems it is all pointing to the IPG.

And for john it is carbureted.

So I have a 2011 ruckus that had no electrical power at all after my customer modified his key ignition switch and cut the main wiring harness at that time I replaced the ECU and main wiring harness and got all electrical systems working and got spark back and the bike ran. After getting it running I put radiator back together and filled with water. Then I tried to install a hidden kill switch per my customer. At that point I lost spark. All other electrical systems still work as advertised. I reset the ECU as per standards. I have heard about the IPG and the ECT. When I tried to install the kill switch I connected it to the ECT wire as well as the other kill switch wires and it didn't work so I removed it. that's when I got No Spark.

Does a bad ECT stop spark from happening? What does the IPG do? and would that stop spark as well. I am hoping that the ECT is the problem as that's an easier fix. All wiring is back to normal on the bike and nothing was cut to try the kill switch. Any idea how I can get spark back or at least find out what went wrong.

I also read about a fuel wiring problem stopping spark. Thanks for any help. This is my first ruckus repair, those Chinese scooters keep me busy anyway and are easier to fix than Honda.

I have a zuma 2 stroke that is getting too much fuel while trying to start. Sparkplug comes out soaked after trying to start it. I recently cleaned the carb and installed new jets. It almost started after I adjusted the lean rich screw I turned it all the way in then backed it out 1 and 3/4 turns and kept adjusting out from there. Still a soaked plug. What am I missing here to get this thing to start?
