    Buckets, don't poke fun at the south island boys or they will remind us how after lapping nearly every one, she had to push the bike back in........

    DNF = FAIL

    Maybe you need some lessons on finishing races

    Having proved her point at the front, as the visitor, I think she politely stood aside for the southern men, didn't want to upstage them ......

    I guess you guys are used to making excuses about why other people beat you, after all you've had plenty of practice at it

    If you find yourself trying to figure out why your CDI is not sparking, you need to check for a pulsed output from the trigger and CDI generator coils.

    To do this, you can use one of those old style analog meters with a moving needle, for a pulsed output, a digital is to slow to register anything.

    Kicking the motor over, you won't get to measure the real voltage output, but an analog's needle will flick whenever there is a pulse, telling you the stator is still alive. You can use it to check the CDI is discharging to the coil too.

    The CDI generator and discharge voltage is about 2-300V.

    But don't try to test the Plug side of the coil as that's 15-20kV and will fry the meter.

    Set the meter on the 200V AC range for the trigger coil, and 700V AC for the CDI generator coil and CDI discharge.

    You can find really cheep analog meters at Dick Smiths or JayCar.

    are you having trouble with the flash ignition?
    I just did one worked 2nd pop, had to turn on the petrol !
    My neighbours diary says I have boundary issues

    That's a great bit of advice,
    another little addon to that is checking the internal resistance of the coils (more so checking that there is resistance).
    If there isn't, then you know you are going to have issues (something grounding in the coils)...
    many CDIs also have published checks as well (but you would have to find a workshop manual)

    Internal resistance of the coils will be seriously low I would have thought. Impedance may be another thing but since multimeters measure DC resistance would expect somewhere between 10 Ohms and so close to nothing you can't tell depending on how the coil is configured and which taps you are measuring.

    It's Dad's birthday so I thought the team could review some of the things he has posted here.........
