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
To test the CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) on an Arctic Cat 500 ATV, start by checking for any visible damage or corrosion on the CDI unit and its connections. Use a multimeter to measure the output voltage while cranking the engine; you should see a voltage pulse if the CDI is functioning properly. Additionally, you can swap the CDI with a known working unit to see if the ATV starts or runs better. If the ATV still does not run correctly, the issue may lie elsewhere in the ignition system or engine.
To determine if the CDI box on your Xtreme Typhoon 125 ATV is bad, start by checking for any signs of electrical issues, such as no spark or inconsistent engine performance. You can also test the CDI box with a multimeter to check for proper voltage output or continuity. If other components like the ignition coil and spark plug are functioning correctly but the ATV still won't start, the CDI box may be faulty. Additionally, consider replacing it with a known working unit to see if the problem resolves.
