TROUBLESHOOTING TABLES
NO SPARK
No Spark Condition
Disconnect the single black (black/white) wire from
the CDI Module to the ignition kill circuit. Does it have
a spark?
NO
Check the ignition switch, wire harness, throttle safety
switches and kill switch for proper adjustment or short
to ground. Repair or replace as necessary.
YES
Disconnect the stator to CDI module wires. Test the
resistance values of the stator coils as per the wiring
diagrams. Are the resistance values within specs?
NO
If the parts of the ignition system under the flywheel
check OK, the only remaining component is the coil/
CDI module assembly. Replace the module with
another with the same number.
YES
Isolate which component's resistance is not within
specs. Remove the flywheel and stator. Recheck the
resistances; look for pinched or bare harness wires; or
replace the coil.
Incorrect Timing (Advanced/Retard)
Follow the engine timing procedure for checking
running timing at recommended RPM. Is the timing
within limits?
NO
Adjust the ignition timing by rotating the stator plate to
correct the timing. After adjusting the recommended
RPM timing, continue with operating RPM timing if
poor performance exists. (Continue on with left
column.)
YES
Remove the ignition kill circuit by disconnecting the
single black wire between the CDI module and the
machine harness. Is the timing now correct?
NO
Check the ignition switch, throttle safety switches, kill
switch and harness for damage which can cause
intermittent shorting problems. Correct the problem.
YES
Verify the correct CDI module by comparing the CU
code on the box to the information listed in the ignition
data charts at the beginning of this section. Is it the
right module?
NO
Replace the module with the correct part and readjust
the ignition timing.
YES
Check the resistance of the coils under the flywheel.
Compare these to values on wiring diagram. Are they
within limits?
NO
Check the wiring connecting the coils and/or replace
the coils as necessary.
