I need to know how to test the coil / cdi on a 88 LT 80 stock bike
It just quit running took the coil to a shop they said bad , bought another from E Bay and still no workie
can't seem to trust anyone to tell me , so asking here
please help grandson wants to ride again soon

 

Use an ohm meter and check the stator and coil.

 

thanks , what should the reading be ? how do I find the stator wires ?
thanks
Larry

 

Do a search, the readings were talked about in a previous thread about the same problem or call a dealer for the correct readings.
The stator wires are under the hood. They come up from the motor and plug in. Your interested in the red/black wire (ignition) not the red/white wire (charging). [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

tried the search thing and nothing comes up guess I have to wait till dealer is open
thanks

I have a similar problem. Eton viper 90 with weak spark. I Ohm'd out the coil and It is in specs. What do I check next? Would it be the CDI OR something else??? Thanks guys...

 

Welcome to the forums arshooter. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
I'd check the stator now.

 

Thanks...

Ok. How do I check the Stator?? I don't think I have the specs for that...

 

ok I tested the coil with ohm meter , from spade tip to spad tip show 4.59M on my meter is that right ? is this coil good ? the one I took off shows open then 22.35M
when I go to test the stator do I ground 1 wire the look for spark with the other as trying starter ?
thanks for your help

Sorry fellas, electronics are not my specialty as there are few problems with them.
You use an ohm meter to check the stator. I do not know the proper restance readings. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
I suggest asking the service dept at your local Zuki dealer.
