trouble shooting
100
this component takes us 14.5 charging volts to 20,000 to 60,000 volts
What is an ignition coil
100
with our meter set on ohms and the coil isolated and leads on coil spade ends
What is primary resistance?
100
this ignition system commonly found on dirt bikes requires no battery
What is ac cdi ignition?
100
generic spec for primary resistance.
What is .2-10 ohms?
100
use a spark checker and check for spark
What is the easiest way to verify an ignition problem?
200
this device sends an ac signal to the ic igniter to tell piston position
What is a signal device?
200
using a pva and kicking the engine over we measure ac voltage for the cdi box
What is source coil output?
200
this system replaced a conventional points ignition system with the use of transistors.
What is tci?
200
generic spec for signal device ac output.
What is .5-9 vac?
200
this could cause a no spark situation because it doesn't know when to fire
What is signal device output?
300
this component consist of magnet, sensor, rotating, shutter blade, and a three wire connector
What is hall-effect?
300
this test is done on a multi cylinder engine to determine if it is firing correctly
What is cylinder drop test?
300
this system requires a regular maintenance schedule every 3000 miles
What is points ignition?
300
good firing spark plug produces this.
What is 8,000-19,000?
300
eliminates the ignition coil as a potential problem.
What is a tap test?
400
this is the power source for the primary winding in a cdi ignition system
What is a capacitor?
400
using pva black lead on ground red lead on return coil wire while turning the engine over get result of 100+v
What is amplified volt test?
400
this system uses a battery and a capacitor to supply primary voltage to my ignition coil.
What is dc cdi?
400
this is the result we get when measuring the first step up in voltage.
What is 100+ volts?
400
this is a reason for a low kilo-volt reading when measuring secondary voltage.
What is a fouled spark plug?
500
this component replaces points in the ignition system by the use of transistors.
What is an ignition module?
500
this test dynamically test the ignition coil by using a condensor and jumper wires.
What is tap test?
500
modern fuel injected dirt bikes that dont use a battery use this ignition system.
What is ac tci?
500
spark plug cap resistance
What is 5,000-10,000 ohms?
500
this is a possible cause of poor top end performance.
