How do i test the cdi, the stator, the ignition system in general?

thank you scottie,

Thanks for the reply, this has been a slow archery seaason for me in SC. 1 7pt buck, 2 hogs in early spring. Been working too much. Fat and out of shape with no desire to get back in shape! I should push that 4 wheeler where I want to hunt for the exercise, lol. I could not imagine a year without hunting. it is too deeply set in my life.

Has anyone got a specific answer to my query? what voltages should I be looking for from the cdi, coil, and stator?

Or maybe I could just check continuity, what would the resistance readings be for the same items?

Thanks.
