Mods can stick this thread in the idiot humor section of you like.

There is a good chance some people think the Bucket forum is the "Idiot Humor Section". ......

Would this be the problem? Friend stripping CDI says it could be burnt out in this area...

Couldn't get any sense from the rectifier, setting at 1k ohms as per the manual, zero readings, tried 20k ohms, nothing, 200k and 2m however produced readings but if not set at the manual no idea if correct. So took it to a shop and asked guy to test, he said you can never test and get a definite yes or no and that rectifier cannot have any effect on ignition systems. This shop owner who's been fixing bikes for 1000 years told me this.

So, plug in CDI, sparked for 2.5 seconds then instantly blew up again. Getting zero help from about 6 different forums. Bikes in the bin. cheer
