no the cdi unit transfers the power from the battery, amplifies it and sends the current to the rest of the machine no the cdi unit transfers the power from the battery, amplifies it and sends the current to the rest of the machine

How do you charge the battery on a 2004 vtx1300f motorcycle?

Remove the seat and the battery is located under the CDI box (electronic ignition control, CDI meaning Capacitor Discharge Ignition). The battery is right below this unit which is easily removed. Remove the negative terminal first, then the positive. Getting the battery out is not as easy as it looks. Place your fingers tightly at each top end of the battery and try to lift it. Some people put a lanyard around the battery for fast and easy removal in the future. The lanyard should be thin and can be left in place.

Having problems with 1972 Evinrude boat motor most times it starts first go. run the motor for a few minutes and try to kick it again it doesn't turn over any ideas?

The 1972 model Evinrude has a battery powered ignition system, meaning that battery voltage is needed to power the ignition. Around 1978-79, the CDI ignition was introduced, in which a dual function stator was incorporated, to not only provide voltage to charge the battery, ( which is all the earlier system stator does ), but also supplied voltage to operate the ignition system. With the advent of the CDI system, all the battery was used for is voltage to operate the starter motor. Hence, once the engine was running, the battery was no longer needed. The ADI ( alternator driven ignition ), used in the 1972 model, would not run without continuous voltage that is supplied by the battery. I would suspect a problem with either the battery, or the charging system. Also, ensure that the battery cables are clean and tight at the connections, and in overall servicable condition.


Why does my headlight globe keep blowing and why is there very little spark on my Honda XR200 when it has a brand new CDI unit and i have checked all the wiring with a multimeter?

You did check the terminal voltage at the light and the voltage across the battery when revving the engine and found it to be correct, I hope. You should also check for tracking between the output terminal of the HT coil and it's positive terminal. After that, its trying to find the bad earth I'm afraid.

Will a cdi box from a 500 vinson fit a 700 kingquad?

Definitely not. The Vinson is carburated, and the King Quad if fuel injected. The Vinson's CDI only controls spark, while the King Quad's Engine Control Unit also controls the fuel injection. Completely different devices.
