Under the signal generator cover

[muck]

My 98 750 katana wont start it cranks but no spark. I did some tests on the coils and came back within specs. Then I tested the signal generator. When I pulled of the cover there was oil in there.

I this common or is there a seal in there? Maybe the crank shaft seal? And would This oil cause the generator to not work properly?

[arsenic]

nope, that's normal, there supposed to be a little oil in there

[Steveb]

Where exactly does the oil come from?

Is there oil under the covers of new bikes as well?

[arsenic]

yep, thats your crankcase, there is oil everywhere in there, why do you think there is a gasket on that cover.

If you look you can see the hole going back to the rest of the engine in there .
Test the wires coming from the cdi to the coils . MAYBE you can borrow a CDI and see if that'll do it ....

Im looking for the signal generator
but when i go to order it there is a part 9-a and a 9-b ? Whats the differance. And what are the chances its the rotor(part 10)?

[muck]

no one knows?

[HS2020]

They are both the same. some used part 9-a some part 9-b. The part is the same. One usually supercedes to the other one.

Will the part be stamped or marked with an a or b?

[Newbie2it]

probably not Only the paperwork will be marked and maybe the package.

No, it will not be. But either part will work for your purposes.
The actual Suzuki part numbers are:
33110-17C00
and
33110-31F00
