What does the CDI box connect to?
A CDI or capacitor discharge ignition that is found on most bikes is linked to the ignition where it mainly stores the electrical charge. It is responsible for increasing the spark’s power in the spark plug. CDI box can be found only on vehicles that are based on the gasoline engine.
How to test CDI to ignition coil grounding function?
Unplug the CDI and do a resistance check on the Black & Green Coil wires from the Coil end to the plug end that you just unplugged at the CDI if you follow me. Will do.
What to do if your CDI ignition is trouble shooting?
Trouble shooting hints. Caution ,if testing for spark ALLWAYS have a plug connected with the shell grounded,never ever test with an open plug lead, you may destroy the ignition coil. 1) Disconnect leads going to kill switch (shorting mode hookup!) and try starting engine (Figure out how to stop it in case it runs).
How can I tell if my CDI box is damaged?
The automotive should be switched off and allowed to cool. Use an ohmmeter to measure the electrical resistance of the CDI box in a quantifiable way. Different vehicles have specified electrical resistance within the coil. If the coil’s correct resistance levels fail to meet these specifications, you’ll know that your coil is damaged.
How does a CDI pulse transformer ignition system work?
In a CDI ignition system,a storage capacitor is charged to a high voltage (a few hundred volts) by the flywheel charging coil and, at the proper moment quickly discharged into the primary winding of the ignition coil,which is actually a stepup pulse-transformer.

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.
