anyone had a cdi unit fail? symptoms?

nah it didnt run guys same thing lol. but i think its the stator, i checked the voltage to the coil when kicking it over.
i disconnected the orange wire from the coil, took the sparkplug out [so i could get more rpm kicking it] i had earthed out the green wire as you said.
i kicked it over must be like 30 times a couple of times max i got 14.v a few times 10.v but nearly every time it was more like 4-5 or 6.v and that was a good fast kickover. if i kicked it slower [ about the speed with the plug in] i was making 2-3 or 4v. max no way near 12v. do i need the regulator in any wire if im not running lights? if not its got to be the stator?

so what you think guys? stator or what. im guna check it with an ohmmeter ive got the specs. we were thinking, if i take the wire from the source coil and dicconnect them from the cdi, put the meter across and find out the polarity, then connect a car battery to the cdi wiring from the source coil. then ill have 12v at the cdi. im not sure if the cdi picks up dc or ac voltage though, obviously the battery would be dc.

just check that stator, i dont know if i'd hook a battery to it

yeah im guna go and get that done now, ill let you know in a few mins.

right checked the stator had multimeter on 200ohms not 200kohms, the pickup coil is good at like 18.6 ohms multimeter beeping the whole time it was connected. checked at the plugs at the cdi with it disconnected. checked the source coil same way, quickly flashed up 144 ohms or something and then went open circuit, also no beep from the multimeter at all. removed the source coil from the stator plate and checked it at the solder tabs for the wires, just incase it was a dodgy wire or connection giving me the first result, same again flashed up like 160 ohms or there abouts, no beep and went open circuit.
im pretty sure its the source coil, has to be with results like that. i hear ricky stator calling guys. i hope thats all it is.

Do you have a flywheel puller?

My stator had a broken wire on it and it read similar to yours. Youd have to pull the flywheel to check it tho.

It's all DC. Unless you plug yours into an outlet? JK All Dc though.I:I

yeah ive had the flywheel off, checked the restistance at the source coil where the wires are soldered on, had to chip off some of the insulation first. but its still open circuit. ill order a stator up.
