wayne_smith97 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I have bought three CDI boxes. Put them on my banshee and they are not allowing it to fire. Took them to a buddy of mine and they don't fire on his either. Is there something in my wiring that could be frying them? I have a new stator and pickup coil. Also a new ignition coil. Key switch and kill switch test good. I also have checked harness for continuity and all looks good. Any thoughts???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicstuff Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Pickup gap correct? Plug caps good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne_smith97 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yeah pickup gap is about .017 and plug caps I'm not sure about so I will pick up a new set. I do know the coil came off a running bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicstuff Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Grounds good? Bare metal at coil/frame? Try a ground strap to motor/frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugarshack81 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I bought some ngk plugs for my banshee and they tested at 16000ohms. Wayne you should check how much voltage you have from your stator. Use a multimeter to test voltage on green wire coming from your stator. I doubt your frying your cdi somehow. Did your friend let you try his cdi on your bike. I hope you get it fixed I'm in the same boat im just not getting spark to transfer to my ignition coil. My cdi does give out a signal on the orange wire just not when the harness is connected. Good luck I will let you know if I get my bike running and what i did, do the same for me if you get yours going.

Banshee SE Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Haven't you replaced the rectifer? try another one. Edited April 1, 2014 by Banshee SE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 There is no rectifier on a Banshee. Only a voltage regulator. That only regulates the voltage for the lights. Has nothing to do with the ignition system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two new coils and three cdi's. No I didn't put his on my banshee yet. That's on the to do list this weekend. I would like to try that. Sorry new to me but used stator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne_smith97 Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Bhatch21 brought his 95 over here and we hooked his Cdi up and BAM the beast fired up on the first kick!!!!!!! Now to find another Cdi box. This will be number four!!!!!!!!! Three bad cdi's. Hard to believe but it's true. They have been hooked up to bhatch's banshee. At least I know what the problem is now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
