( I'm new to this site. I should have posted this in Whizzer rather than in general. )
I am using the GY6 trouble-shooting document as a guide.
My CDI has a different connector. See attached picture.
My key switch and the "Stop / Run" switch short to ground when either of them is in the off position
OHM Meter Readings:
CDI power winding - Black/Red to ground = 520 ohms
Sensor Lead - Blue/Yellow to ground = 110 ohms
Coil Primary - 0.3 ohms
Coil Secondary - 7,200 ohms
Voltages:
Tested by spinning the flywheel by hand with the plug out (no electric start) using Fluke DMM
Black/Red power wire - 18 VAC
Blue/Yellow Trigger wire - 0.1 VAC
CDI Output – coil not connected - 1.5 VAC
CDI Output - coil connected – 0.0 VAC
1. Am I better to buy a DC CDI and re-wire the bike?
2. Do the DC CDIs give stronger, more reliable spark?
3. Where can I buy the correct replacement AC CDI matching the one pictured?
Thanks in advance!
