Where is the neutral wire on a CDI?
The other wire should be your Neutral light, you can see this if you remove your sprocket cover and you’ll see the wire going to the neutral switch. For the time being leave this disconnected. Black/white wire – To the ignition/kill switch (You are correct in saying connecting this to the earth will prevent the ignition coil from sparking.
What happens when you turn off the CDI on a motor?
When we want to shut down the motor engine, we have two switches the key switch or the kill switch. The switches ground out the charging circuit so the entire charging pulse is sent to the ground. Since the CDI can no longer charge, it will cease to provide the spark and the engine will slow to a stop.
Do you need battery to run CDI ignition?
Connct the black/white to the green to see if oyu get a spark. Another thing to consider is some cdi ignition systems are designed to be run from d/c others a/c, you may well need the battery to make the bike run. Some people are only alive cos its against the law to kill them.
What is a capacitor discharge ignition ( CDI ) module?
Capacitor Discharge Ignition Module The typical CDI module includes different circuits like charging & triggering, a mini transformer & the main capacitor. The system voltage can be increased from 250V to 600V through a power supply in this module.
What to do when your CDI doesn’t turn on?
When you turn the ignition ‘on’ all you are doing is opening this connection so the CDI is no longer grounded. If the engine isn’t running and the rest of the electrics are dead I’d first check the connector from the generator to the rest of the wiring and also the connector to the ignition switch, and then the ignition switch itself.
Why do the lights on my bike not work?
The neutral, indicator, brake and head lights do not work, no power at all. I am not sure if this has anything to do with the problem but the electric start stopped working about 2 weeks ago and I have been kick starting it since then.
Why does my bike stop when I Turn on the ignition?
The main fuse is not part of this circuit and the only thing that stops the ignition working is the kill switch and the ignition switch which both connect a wire from the CDI unit to ground (negative – the frame). When you turn the ignition ‘on’ all you are doing is opening this connection so the CDI is no longer grounded.
How to troubleshoot a GY6 150cc ignition coil?
Troubleshooting the CDI: Ensure your multimeter is set to read in VOLTS “AC”. Just like before: while cranking the engine, use a multimeter to check for voltage at the two primary wires of the ignition coil.
