There are seven steps on how to check the CDI and the starter on a 200cc ATV. Some of the step-by-step instructions are turn the ATV off, use a voltmeter to get a reading on the battery, and then touch the black wire from your voltmeter to the black terminal on the battery.
To check the CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) box on an ATV, first ensure the ATV is turned off and disconnect the battery for safety. Locate the CDI unit, which is usually found near the engine or under the seat, and inspect it for any visible signs of damage, such as cracks or corrosion. You can also use a multimeter to test the CDI's continuity and resistance according to the manufacturer's specifications. If the CDI appears faulty, it may need to be replaced.
it sounds kinda like a stator problem or spark plug or cdi box
No.
To check the stator coil on a 185S ATC, use a multimeter to measure the resistance between the stator terminals; consult the service manual for the specific resistance values to ensure they are within the specifications. For the CDI, you can test its functionality by checking the input and output voltages while the engine is cranking; a lack of spark may indicate a faulty CDI. Additionally, inspect the wiring and connections for any signs of damage or corrosion that could affect performance.
you need to check your plug to make sure it is good. then check your ignition coil make sure that is good, then if none of those work check your cdi and stator plate..
provides power to the CDI
yea I'm wondering too which of the three timing marks to set my stator on ?
Could be a few things. Possible to be the CDI box or the Stator.
Check for loose wires, then most likely a bad coil or rusty mag maybe bad cdi or stator
Process of elimination is needed, check/replace spark plug->check ignition coil>check pulse generator>check stator/AC generator>check kill switch. if all is well then check key switch for functionality if applicable to rule out CDI Alot of bikes use a 2piece ignition coil, try pushing the plug cap onto the lead by screwing it on like you do a bolt to a nut. Also try disconnecting the kill switch. for pulse generator, stator and ign coil you need to know the resistance values specific to the model to know weather they are past servicable limits. only other things are to make sure these wires are properly connected: -stator to ign coil -cdi to ign coil -pulse generator to cdi
check te spark plug and if that isn't it and if ur motor isntblown its ur cdi box
There are five wires coming from the CDI stator. Black is power out to CDI box. Pink is the timing pulse to CDI box. Red is for lights (high power, need regulator/rectifier). Brown is for lights but less wattage than red. Green is ground.
