Hi Guys,

I pick up an old 89 Yamaha Pro Hualer and its got no spark. Theres no power coming out of the CDI unit to the coil. Does anyone know how to or if you can check the cdi unit? Does anyone know where I could get a replacement one? Thanks Ben

You can't really test a CDI, they are a bit elusive.  You have to troubleshoot everything else that has to do with spark and if it all tests good, then the CDI would be the last option.  You might also try the "baking" technique for the CDI.  Sometimes you can bake them for a few minutes at very low temp and drive off moisture enough to get it to work again.  @Frank Angerano is a better resource on baking CDI's.

unfortunately you cant test a cdi. @MarkinAR is correct about that. However cdi inits get moisture inside and they will not work.  Especially if its an atv thats been sitting outside for a long time.  
You can take the cdi and bake it in the oven at 200 deg for 10 min.  Oven reaching temp first then put the cdi in  no more then 10 min.  Take it out and let it cool. Give it a shot, if it works you know its a moisture issue.

      1988 big bear 350 no spark
      By 88bigbear
      Bought a 88 big bear 350 4x4 took it for a run and lost spark, found it was stator so I replaced that then took it for a long run and it sat for 2 days and no spark again, this time stator tests good on ohms and voltage for source and pick up coils so I started replacing things including regulator, ignition, ignition coil and plug cap, spark plug and everything tests great including all safety switches until the orange wire for ignition coil from the cdi it only reads 3 volts so I replaced the cdi and still 3 volts, any ideas??

      Fixing for a friend. Atv was at a different friends house to be fixed and he rebuilt the carb and had it running nice, then it shut off and no more. He replaced the key and the coil.
       
      So he got busy, so I am helping, I checked the wiring from the stator to the cdi, and from the cdi to the coil. All is good. I checked resistance on the pickup coil, good, and on the source coil, open. I buy a new stator (China) and the 4 prong plug only has 3 wires in it while mine has all 4. I checked resistance in the source coil and it's in the 300's. I pulled one of the old pickup wires out of the old stator and wire it in the new one. Still no spark.
       
      Why do the wires differ, I checked the VIN again and it's "J" for the year and I got a 1988 stator. Please help!

      Hello all, I have a 2006 Polaris Sawtooth with no spark. It has a dead battery but with a jump pack on it, it will still not Spark. Plug is good, Throttle ETC is not closed, Stator pick up coil seems to Ohm out in the correct range, Unsure how to properly check the CDI. And when ignition is on the Neutral and reverse light come on but after cranking just the neutral stays on. 
       
      Any help would be great,
       
      Thanks!
