Ok so I tried all those tests and what I found is the kill switches are working ok. I do see a very low MV reading when I tried the electric start. I also tried cutting those kill wires to the CDI but still same results.

Wow thanks Curtis! This is very helpful. I pulled the wiring out today and checked all wires and connectors, found nothing suspicious there. I’ll try your tests and let you know what I find. If I cut the kill circuit wire to the CD I would that confirm something wrong further down the circuit? scott

Hello all, First post here, I've been searching these posts for a similar issue and have found some close but no real answers yet. So my Big Bear has an ignition issue ran great till last year then quit. A shop changed the coil and CDI on it and it worked for about an hour and now its back to the same issue, I just changes the stator and pick up but that did not fix the problem either! So now basically all the parts have been changed. So what it does and its the part that's confusing me a lot is when I crank it over with the electric start there's no spark but if I pull it over by hand there's a good spark?????? And if I crank it over with the electric start and at the same time slide the kill switch from on to off it will spark once then from off to on it will spark about 3-4 times. I'm lead to think it's the CDI except it works when I pull it over? Looking for ideas here. Scott
