well im trying to find out if there is a current going from the stator to the stator pickup that runs the current to the cdi and voltage regulator. any ideas???

[banshee76179]

Do you have it gapped right??????

 

.15 to .20

 

 

other than that I can't help ya bro.....sorry..

you will be looking for amps not volts coming from the pickup

Tithead did you look at the FAQ mate? You test the stator and the pickup coil with an ohmmeter, the specs are right at the top and the procedure is, well somewhere in the middle. You're gonna be testing for resistance, not volts or amps so the motor will be off...and I'm pretty sure the stator produces the current, sends it to the CDI, then the CDI sends current to the pickup coil, and the signal from the pickup coil tells the CDI when to fire the primary coil. I know the FAQ is long but it should cover about everything. Good luck.

p.s....... trigg, im still waiting for an answer from the question i asked a while ago on here....... fancy a race sometime? or are you going to turn round and say your andy britton or ian neil?

Charging coil should be 13.7-20.5 Ohms (red to green wire)

Pick up coil should be 94-140 Ohms (white/red to white/green wire)

Lighting coil should be .26-.38 Ohms (black to yellow wire)
