looking for some info please.
the solenoid that sits on the right hand side of the bike, just behind the 2 stroke oil tank has stopped working.
tested it with a battery and the unit works fine but not getting any voltage to it. on the wiring diagram, the pink cable is showing to go to the cdi unit but the colour changes on the cable .

ie: out of the plug for the solenoid its pink with a white line, going into the cdi, its pink with a brown ring .

the bike is buckerooooooing like mad when you shut the throttle and from my vast amount of searching on here, i have found that the solenoid is feeding the air flow to the pilot jet at low speed, if its not working then im running rich on closed throttle and would just like an insight in to it basic workings so i can further my investigations.

Thanks Steve.

I did reply to your PM dude.....

hang on, this is exactly the same thing i am getting on my AR
part throttle in town at 30 odd the thing is as you say buckeroooooing and a pain to ride on small amounts of throttle.
i too would like to know more or a part number.

didn't get it mate, might of been lost in the transition to the new site.

cool new image by the way.

cant find any info on the web about this and its driving me daft. am i right in guessing that the TPS sends the signal to the cdi to put power on to the solenoid in question.

Have you downloaded and read the AR service manual?

any further with this ? took mine out tonight after changing all the wheel bearings and its pissing me right off riding through towns, more like a CR than CRM
