Ignition Coil Test
CDI Output Test
Using Peak Reading Adaptor
Re-connect all wires to the CDI box. Disconnect the
(BLACK/YEL) CDI output wire from ignition coil primary
terminal. Install the Peak Reading Adaptor (PV-39991) to
your meter and connect one meter lead to engine ground
and the other to the (BLACK/YEL) CDI output wire at the
ignition coil. Set meter to read DC Volts. Crank engine and
verify CDI output to the ignition coil. When finished,
reconnect CDI output wire to ignition coil.
Pulser Coil Output / Resistance Tests
Disconnect the 4-wire connector at the CDI box. Install the
Peak Reading Adaptor (PV-39991) to your meter and
connect one meter lead to the dark blue / black wire (DB/
YEL) and the other to engine ground. Set meter to read DC
Volts. Crank engine and verify pulser coil output.
If readings are within specifications, test the resistance
value of the pulser coil. When finished, reconnect the 4-
wire connector to CDI box.
