trigg Posted January 19, 2004 Report Posted January 19, 2004 what voltge should be at the coil when you kick it over?? i have just put the shee back togeather and it will not go. i have got 13v upto the cdi and a signal from the pickup but only get 5v at the coil and no spark. i have checked the wiring for fault and thats ok i have ruled out no one broke in and stole it because there was no forsed entry and my homer simpson clock is still there trigg Quote
boonman Posted January 20, 2004 Report Posted January 20, 2004 I don't know what your ruling out there? Someone may have stole what? you made no mention of anything? I don't know. I am confused about your post. Anyways, try grabbing yourself a clymer repair and service manual. Inside, you will find all the elctrical specs needed to check your electrical components, aside from the CDI. However, you will be able to rule out the coil, and the stator. If it isn't either of them, than the CDI is likely the culprit. Quote
trigg Posted January 20, 2004 Author Report Posted January 20, 2004 sorry english sence of humor the manual does not tell you the voltage at the coil jeff Quote
Yamahammer Posted January 20, 2004 Report Posted January 20, 2004 not all that familiar with the wiring values but try a clymer repair manual not the one that cames with the bike. My guess is there should be 12v at the coil check all the grounds and if they check out find a buddy with a shee and start switching parts over the cdi the coil and see if ya can get her running. I got the joke Quote
boonman Posted January 20, 2004 Report Posted January 20, 2004 That's what I'm trying to tell you. If you test the stator, and it checks out good, and you test the coil, and it is good, than the CDI is the only thing left. This is provided you have checked all the grounds, and made sure the kill switches are not turned off and there are no broken wires. The easiest way to check a CDi is to swap a known good one onto your bike and go from there. See what I'm sayin? Who gives a damn what the voltage at the coil is. Could be 12v, could be 50v. If the coil is good, and the stator is good, and everything else is alright, than the CDI is likely toasted.... Quote
Aussie Quad Racer Posted January 20, 2004 Report Posted January 20, 2004 Forget trying to test the voltage at the coil of a CDI system, its impossible to get an accurate reading. Do you have a mate with a banshee? easiest way is to swap components from a running bike. Do you have your key switch on? Quote
trigg Posted January 20, 2004 Author Report Posted January 20, 2004 i run a mx wiring loom its very basic just a few wires, i was only interested about the voltage because all my mates ride craotors and it's a bit expensive just to buy one try earths and wires are fine i have checked them all and i only built the loom less than a year ago and it worked fine upto the rebuild i think the problem is i had a rz 350yvps engine (31k) but ran a f2 stator and cdi i have changed the engine for another yvps engine but i had the earlier stator on so was not matched up with the cdi, so the timing was slightly out wich explained the backfiring, and when i tow started it i think it may have blew the cdi jeff Quote
boonman Posted January 20, 2004 Report Posted January 20, 2004 Oh man. it is not good to be mixing and matching shit like that!!! I think you may have left that part of the equation out when you asked the initial question!!!! Quote
