whoa - are you hooked up to the CDI when measuring? If so, that may explain the numbers. Disconnect and try again.

yes, connected to cdi...i will disconnect and retry in the morning...but does that mean my cdi and circuit are good?

What was the cause?

don't know, but evidently it wasn't the water

My motor quit yesterday, and I opened up the mag cover and got about 1/4 cup of water on the ground. You sure it's not the cause?

I've got my mag drying in the oven right now (found that tip on a random forum for old motors)

well, i had only a teaspoon amount of water and it dried out pretty quick...i also used WD40 to help...still no spark...I'm pretty sure it wasn't the water. it didn't die while i was in the rain...but about 30 minutes after the rain, while i was riding elsewhere.

Well I'm dealing with a no spark problem on a weed whacker engine i just bought new. I think it had a faulty magneto from the factory. I still have to decide what to do next.
