Any one know about the magnet rotor?
Like; what Gauss is needed to create enough voltage/ current through the mag coil for the CDI to work efficiently?
According to the posts I have read, my mag and cdi ohm within specs. I realize the cdi might ohm ok but the capacitor might not be doing its job.
I can get the cheap inline spark tester (from Harbor Freight) to pulse dimly but can't get enough voltage to create a spark.
I have had two (2) magnet rotors go bad. They would not lift their weight off the bench with a screwdriver. One side of the rotor would and the other would not.
All grounds and connections are good. No kill switch hooked up. Has me baffled and confused.
I have two cdi boxes and two mag coils tried every combination with no luck. I have one magnet rotor I got from Gasbike.net , it will lift it's weight on both sides but you can feel the force is weaker on one side than the other.
I know magnets have the same pull force North & South to metal.
I made sure the air gap was equal all around. There is not that many miles on the engine, so I don't for-see bearings being bad enough to allow mag rotor to touch anything.
Any suggestions/ ideas ? Need input. THANKS
