bobdryerr Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 ok it all comes down to something electrical i belive. it was running just fine the other day an now it has no spark or anything. tried a new coil pack plugs. took apart every connector to make sure nothing was unplugged. i was woundering if i should unpin my 87 shees cdi an pin his 01 shee to try my cdi box on his or not... i dont belive its the stator but i could be wrong.. i kept thinkin his cdi went out. the only reason i think it was his cdi box is cause usly a stator gets weak before goin out an when i did an ohm test on ithe stator it passed with flying colors acourding to the book. so what do you guys think repin mine into his or just get a new cdi box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrockMoto Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 If the stator passed, check the coil next..... Then cdi.... Did you try new plugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdryerr Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 If the stator passed, check the coil next..... Then cdi....

AKheathen Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 first, go back to the cdi plug and test what it is seeing. put an ohm meter between black and black/red and make sure it gets continuity (keyswitch on) then between black and black/white and make sure there is not continuity. if you do get continuity, look for the tors box which is mounted under the gas tank with a 3-wire plug., un-plug it and make sure it never gets plugged back in, and do not splice any of the wires. if it's not there, check the kill-switch for malfunction. then, ohm out the white/red and green/red and it should be near 100 or so ohms. then, red to green, which should be like 16-21 ohms, IIRC. you can also measure orange to blac to get your coil reading. all theese need to be as described for the cdi to work.. .... oh, and yyou can usually smack the cdi, and it sometimes comes to life, if it's bad.
