RPM Ignition Limiter Functions
NOTE: The CDI box reads the RPM signal from the
stator. The CDI box acts as a limiter by retarding the
ignition timing if RPM reaches the specified limit. In
reverse gear, the CDI box retards ignition timing and
limits RPM once it receives a ground path from the
transmission switch blue (L) wire indicating the ATV
is in reverse.

CDI Output Test
Using Peak Reading Adaptor
Re-connect all wires to the CDI box. Disconnect the
white/blue CDI output wire from ignition coil primary
terminal. Install the Peak Reading Adaptor to your meter and
connect one meter lead to engine ground and the other to the
white/blue CDI Output wire at the ignition coil. Set meter to
read DC Volts. Crank engine and verify CDI output to the
ignition coil. When finished, reconnect CDI output wire to
ignition coil.
