Hello all! I have had some real problems with my electrical components building this 2 stroke, the first stock CDI that came with the kit I received was completely dead on the ohmmeter, wouldn't spark at all. ordered a new one and after replacing the CDI and the magneto, it started for the first time yesterday. But only a mile down the road I stopped getting spark and once again, tested with an ohmmeter, dead CDI. tested the magneto, its seems fine. What is causing this? Am I frying my CDI? How can I fix this? Thanks!
EDIT: I would like to also point out that this is a brand new engine, CDI and magneto... So it seems odd to me that just riding the bike less than 3 miles would kill the CDI. I've read on here how unlikely that is, so I feel as though I'm doing something wrong, maybe not grounding correctly?
Thanks for all the help. I really appreciate all the information on these forums.
