Speedshop Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 No real way of doing a meaningful test on a cdi box with a multimeter, You come across diodes and transistors very soon in the circuit. I think if you do a google search you'd be able to find the resistance valves of the pickups. then do a thorough check of the wiring to see if the side stand and any other cut outs are good, working reliably and in correct sense. Once you've done that you have to think along the lines of you have power, signals from the generator and the coil is good............not much left in the system is there.

Alan m Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 have 3 cdi's made up good one today got spark its not over heating which is plus not a great spark thgough i was reading another site and got a tip clear off all the anti vibe glue seemingly overtime it acts as a conductor so i cleaned it all up and lo and behold its sparking not great but its a start so the thinking is it might be a condenser some them became loose as i got rid of the glue so i might change one or 2 loose ones time will tell , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
