Got a 1994 Cr250 have been everywhere with this bike
has weak spark then no spark
kick it a couple of times haves spark
a couple more kicks it has no spark
Test coil primary resistance 0.4
Secondly 11.31k
Tested stator resistance
Exciter resistance 173
Pulse resistance 234
All within spec according to my clymer manual
Even tried two different Muiltmeters
Got 32:1 mixer fuel non ethonal
178-182 psi compression within 2-4 kicks builds that much
Kill switch new (old one broke off anyway) have it completely off bike for testing
Cleaned all engine and frame grounds and ran 10 gauge jumper wire from coil ground on frame under tank to anywhere on bike same results
Any info/leads wpuld be great full

The secondary side seems a bit high, or at least I think it should be as low as possible to insure that a good hot spark makes it to the plug. This can be caused by a dirty coil mount, bad plug cap connection or corrosion .

Have a new NGK replacement cap on and I cleaned ground coil to frame to bare metal with a grinder
Have you tried different plugs???
I ask because my son one time said his yz85 wasn't running right. I rode it hard out in the end of the pits and it ran great. He went back on the track and came right back sayin the same thing. I started looking at the bike and was going to change the plug. I pulled the cap off and half of the electrode metal center wire came out in the cap. I guess the cap was keeping it in contact enough that on smooth ground it ran fine. But when you started hiring the bumps on the track , it would separate a little and then go back together causing it to run run like crap on the track.
Just a thought...
Manuals are great items and I strongly suggest everyone have one for his bike, but with that said I have also found mistakes in them over the years due to translation issues. I think in this case the decimal point in the figure is placed incorrectly.

The Shop
I bought it not running and rebuilt hole bike then came to this issue
I bought new EMGO coil and same result the bike when kicked over tries 99% of time to start but won't fire
I even rebuilt carb with all new jet/seals with same settings as old ones
The plug is damp after tring 20 times to start which must mean getting fuel and have compression just spark is holding it back
Thanks for any input on this machine so far
I'm sure it'll be running soon enough

It's alive and well
Replace stator with electrosport one
runs great lots of spark due to new coil from previous thoughts and new stator
New one tested 87.4 ohms blue/white wire the exciter coil wires
235 ohms blue/yellow and green/white wire the pulse coil wires
