this whole time that I have been saying white and black wire I was wrong and color blind... it is white with a blue stripe. I looked in my Clymer manual and it says that


CDI output at ignition coil-
ignition coil white/blue wire and ground 130VDC (With peak voltage adapter)
ignition coil white/blue wire and ground 20 DCV (Average with voltmeter)
ignition coil white/blue wire and ground 300VDC (With peak voltage adapter)


I don't have any idea what all this means but what they are showing is not negative, as for you last reply 1armbandit I did put a spark plug in the boot but I am not getting spark after the coil just getting power to the coil... whether I put the plug/test light/ and a spark plug tester in the sparkplug boot I do not get anything from the coil. I even held onto the plug and I did not get shocked....

 

been there lol

 

to be honest I was scared as hell but once I didn't get the shock I figured either the coil is shot or can not work off of negative volts... hope opt gets back on this forum...

 

he'll set ya straight im sure, if not give u a direction to go in...
im still trying to wrap my head around "negative" volts lol..<--not electrician

 

the way I understand it, if you take the positive probe of the volt meter and put it on the negative terminal of a battery and then take the negative probe of the volt meter and put it on the positive terminal of the battery it will read negative (-) 12 volts or what ever the battery has for juice....

 

no clue..

 

Back up a little and check resistance readings on the stator. Check resistance on the exciter coils:Red to green(1.6 ohms), Black/red to green(446 ohms) Pick up coil white to white/red (97 ohms) Coil primary(coil tab to ground 0.3 ohms) Coil secondary(coil tab to wire with cap on 6300 ohms,plug cap 5k ohms. All readings +/- 20%

 

Where are these wire located to do this? Behind the fly wheel? What was ur thought on getting a negative reading at the coil?

 

Stator and pick up coil wires goes to the cdi..

 

Check resistance on the exciter coils:Red to green(1.6 ohms), Black/red to green(446 ohms) where are the exciter coils?


Pick up coil is this the regular coil that is under the black cover at the front of the wheeler? white to white/red (97 ohms)


Coil primary(coil tab to ground 0.3 ohms)


Coil secondary(coil tab to wire with cap I don't understand this lingo? wire with cap? spark plug wire? on 6300 ohms,plug cap 5k ohms I think because I don't understand the first part about the cap I don't understand this
