Hello all!
Was riding my bike the other day and it died slowly. After a bit of figuring I replaced the CDI ( used). It worked! Then about two weeks later and 150 kms of riding it died again very similar to how it did before. I did not notice going over bumps or anything when it died and the second time I heard a pop or bang, almost sounding like something had fallen off the bike.
Once again troubleshooting I found that the coil was bad. ie. no spark coming from the plug.
Ordered two new coils.
Installed the new coil today and rolled it forward and got a tiny blue spark. Reassembled the bike, using the same method as before. Tried to go on a ride and no spark again. I know its getting gas & air from the carb for sure.
Tried the other CDI and the exact same thing, so I would guess its not the CDI.
I tested the leads coming from the magneto ( Blue and Black) and I am receiving between -2.5 to 2.5 volts so I would guess that it is operating normally.
Any ideas or anyone else had this problem?
Thanks in advance!
