Can I bypass CDI box?
A capacitor discharge ignition box (CDI) box is used in motorcycles, turbine-powered aircraft, outboard motors, and some cars. You can temporarily bypass a CDI box for troubleshooting purposes. Thus, it’s unable to store enough voltage to keep the engine running.
What is the green wire for on a CDI box?
Assuming that you have a PRE-2003 Blaster with separate TORS/CDI boxes, the green wire has nothing to do with the ignition system. It simply supplies current to the low oil level switch that used to be inside the oil tank. You can cut/remove this wire, as well as the black wire running alongside it.
Where do you put the wire for a new stator?
The wire marked red (coming from the engine) in the diagram is going to attach directly to the contact breaker points. There should already be a wire connected to the breaker points right where we need to put the new one. You need to remove that old wire and put the wire for the new system RIGHT WHERE THE OLD ONE WAS.
What should I do if my Honda stator is weak?
Note that as written this system will bypass the CDI portion of your ignition system (if present) and replace it with a more traditional one. I devised this system when the stator on my Honda XR-100 got so weak that it couldn’t power the spark plug, preventing the engine from running.
When to buy a new stator for your engine?
I devised this system when the stator on my Honda XR-100 got so weak that it couldn’t power the spark plug, preventing the engine from running. The stator on my model happened to be discontinued, and I didn’t want to buy a used one for over $100 when this particular stator is known for being weak and prone to failure.
What happens if you don’t have a stator coil?
The stator coil generates the power for the spark plug and other accessories on small engines Without a stator there would be no spark at all, meaning the engine won’t run. While a stator is dying, it can produce a weak spark, causing the engine to miss or run poorly. Symptoms are often worsened as the engine warms up.
Where does the CDI box amplify the signal?
The box amplifies the small signal generated from the spinning magnet located in front of the pickup coil in the stator, just before top dead center (TDC), when your fuel-air mixture is ignited. The box can’t generate continuous sparks.
When do I need to replace my CDI box?
If either the primary and secondary windings are different from the automotive specifications, you’ll want to replace your CDI box, as your current one might be damaged or malfunctioning. An engine spark characterizes a faulty CDI box, whereas a well-functioning box doesn’t allow the engine to spark.
How is a CDI box different from an inductive system?
Compared to inductive systems, the CDI box system has a shorter transient response and spark duration. The CDI system produces huge electromagnetic noises that don’t sit well with automobile manufacturers. Its short spark duration isn’t ideal for lighting relatively lean mixtures.
Where is the secondary winding resistance on a CDI box?
Touch one of the outer contact leads and central, inner contact of the ignition coil. This is where the main wire connects to the distributor. Record the reading. This is termed as the secondary winding resistance of the ignition coil.
