CDI test - help verify my results

So I've currently got no spark. I did a test on my CDI that should have told me whether or not it was bad. Test showed mine was bad. I was just wondering if someone with a working CDI could run this test just to make sure my test even works at all.

Basically you need a ~6v source. I used 4xAAAs wired in series (because that's what I had handy), but you could use one of those big 6v batteries, a 6v ac/dc adapter, even a 9v battery should work.

So here's what you should do:

connect the black wire to the (-) on the battery.
Ground the spark plug threads to the (-) on the battery.
Tap the blue wire on the (+) of the battery.

Each time you touch the blue wire to the battery, you should get a spark. I did not get a spark.

Someone want to help out and verify these results? If it works, this would be an easy way to test your CDI.

Thanks

ok maybe not a 9v, I don't want to be responsible for breaking someone's cdi

In theory that sounds good but i do not know anything about theese CDI's to know if that will work. And also i would keep at around 6v since that is what theese things put out. My Bike don't sprk so at lunch i may try this to see what i get.

Let me know what you find.

I can't afford to just start throwing parts at this thing. My wife is already upset that I got a used one and am having problems. Blah.

Is'nt that why we marry them........LoL Mine has not said anything yet but i can tell in her face she don't approve.

I don't know where you heard that, but I just tested a known good CDI and I got nothing....I wouldn't suggest anyone else do it either.

I used a battery charger set at 6v and 10 amps.

Odd. I've done it before with a small car version to shock the crap out of people.

Dangit, there goes my great idea.

Maybe with a coil, but not the cdi.
