Hit enter by mistake on previous post.

I have seen references on this and other forums about testing the CDI. The service manager at a dealership in North Myrtle Beach tells me they cannot be tested. What's the real scoop here?

Here is an article that explains it pretty well, they can be tested, but just because the test turns out positive, it doesn't necessarily meant that it is good. It may work fine one minute, and then just fail without notice. That may be why the dealer says they can't be tested, that and he probably wants to sell you one. If the test shows that the CDI is not working, then you definately know it is no good.

      MY MAX 4 6X6 2009, now this will actually go anywhere including across the water. In the 3rd photo I had gone up the river about 30 meters then climbed up the bank, 6X6 owners call it "swimming"
