The following peak voltage tests will measure the amount of
output directly from each component. A peak reading
voltmeter can be used to perform the tests. A variety of peak
reading adaptors are commercially available for use with the
Fluke 77 Digital Multi-meter and other digital VOMs, which
will allow peak voltage tests to be performed accurately.
Follow the directions provided with the adaptor. All
measurements are indicated in Volts.
Readings obtained without a peak reading adaptor will be
significantly different.
Disconnect the stator connectors from the CDI module. Test
output from the detection and pulse (trigger) coil, and compare
to the chart. The following measurements were obtained when
cranking the engine with the electric starter, spark plug
installed.
The starter system must be in good condition and the battery
fully charged.
