Thats what Shee said Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 I was riding and it just died. I pulled the plug and kicked the engine over only to see no spark. If I kick the engine over the headlights will glow but that is it. Is this a bad CDI box and if so can I check to confirm it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 did you hold the metal part of the spark plug against a metal part of the engine when you kicked it checking for spark? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoppedupandcutdown Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 no way to test a CDI, can only change it out for a known working one. Look over the wiring for a broken or bare wire. Check switches for continuity. Almost always something simple, not necessarily a bad part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screaming Yellow Zonker Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Mine did that while I was warming it up. I started replacing everything. As soon as I put a new CDI box on it fired right up. (May not be your problem) If you have a friend with a Banshee swap out CDI boxes an see if yours fires right up...
