CDI OUTPUT TEST USING PEAK
READING ADAPTOR OR A
VOLTMETER
Re-connect all CDI wires to stator wires. Disconnect CDI
module wire from ignition coil primary terminal. Connect one
meter lead to engine ground and the other to the ignition coil
primary wire leading from the CDI module. Crank engine and
check output of CDI wire to coil. Reconnect CDI wire to the
coil.

CDI CRANKING OUTPUT TEST

The following peak voltage tests will measure the amount of
output from each component. A peak reading voltmeter can be
used to perform the tests. A variety of peak reading adaptors are
commercially available for use with the Fluke™ 77 Digital
Multimeter (PV-43568) and other digital VOMs which will
allow peak voltage tests to be performed accurately. Follow the
directions provided with the adaptor. All measurements are
indicated in Volts. Readings obtained without a peak reading
adaptor will be significantly different.
Disconnect the stator connectors from the CDI module. Test
output from the detection and pulse (trigger) coil, and compare
to the chart. The following measurements were obtained when
cranking the engine with the electric starter, spark plug
installed. The starting system must be in good condition and the
battery fully charged.
