Testing coil?

[GleasmJA]

Can you check the voltage coming to the coil at the orange and black wires?? I want to make sure sure i'm getting votage there..

 

 

Thanks

 

 

Background..... Riding all day just fine. Went to leave and riding along hard and it just dies. No spark now. Thanks.

It is very difficult to get a voltage reading there because the CDI box is constantly turning on and off to make the spark. You need to ohm the stator, pickup coil, and main coil to see if they are in specs. Also check the pickup coil gap. When checking the secondary resistance on the main coil, you need to connect one meter lead to each plug wire, not 1 to a plug wire and 1 to the ground terminal like the book says.

Yes, but you are going to need a scope for that.

What kind of signal i'm i looking for there?? I'm an an electronics guy and have access to cool test equipment. I tested it with a multimeter in AC and DC. I saw it jump up from 0, but it isn't a steady signal so i didn't expect to get a actual reading. But i can say that something was getting to the coil at least.

UPDATE........

 

SO I've tested my coil on another bike, starts the other bike just fine. Used the CDI off the other shee to test on mine and nothing. I'm going to dig into the stator area to check my pickup gap. Just looking to see if anyone had other ideas.
