Hi,



'79 CX500c



New plugs and plug caps.

Coils tested good.

Disconnected kill-switch relay.

Disconnected stator.

CDI resistance values are within spec. (for what thats worth).

Stator resistance values are a little high (~1.4ohms), but I attribute that partially to a cheap multimeter.

Jumped battery off of car battery (not running).



What voltage should I be getting from the CDI to the coils?



Any other suggestions?



I'm hoping to find a reasonably priced used CDI to do a real test with.



Thanks.

Actually, retested CDI the right way (CDI side as opposed to engine) and got very high values.



So I suspect this is the culprit.



Anyone looking to unload a spare?



I'll check buying and selling forum as well.
