What are the reasons for a motorcycle ignition coil having electricity but failing to start?

Reasons for a motorcycle ignition coil having electricity but failing to start: damaged injection unit, or no fuel injection or 5A fuse blown; poor contact of the angle mark signal sensor; weak magnetic field of the machine; battery failure; issues with the ignition system wiring; poor fuel flow; low-quality gasoline; engine failure. Exclusion methods are as follows: Replace the fuse: When turning on the car key, if there is no self-test sound from the injector, visually check if the fuse is blown and replace it if necessary. Replace the injector: If there is a self-test sound, remove the injector (keeping the connector connected), press the start button to observe the fuel injection status, and replace the injector if necessary. Check the connection of the angle mark line and repair it. Check the magneto: Check the strength of the magneto signal, etc.
Hey, I've been through this annoying issue too! When a motorcycle's ignition coil shows power but fails to start, it's often caused by a few common problems. For example, the ignition coil itself might be faulty, with internal coil short circuits or open circuits preventing proper high-voltage output; the spark plug is also a key factor—if it's too carbon-fouled or the gap is incorrect, the spark won't ignite at all. Loose or corroded wiring connections can also block current flow. Another culprit could be a faulty crankshaft position sensor, which tells the system when to ignite—if it malfunctions, the timing gets messed up. I suggest first checking if the spark plug is dirty or worn out—try cleaning it or replacing it. Then use a multimeter to measure the ignition coil's output to ensure sufficient voltage. Low battery charge can also cause trouble, so check the charging system. Spending a few minutes inspecting the electrical components before each ride can save you a lot of headaches later.
