[QUOTE="VenomRS4, post: 1195985, member: 74797"] Noob question....here goes... My bikes doesn't have spark (79' YZ250). A friend told me to pick up an ohms meter or multimeter so I can test the parts so I did just that. This is the one I bought (hoping this might help): [url]http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&vertical=TOOL&cat=Mechanics+Tools&subcat=Automotive+Testing+Equipment&pid=00920926000[/url] The only problem is im not sure how to use it. I read the directions but they don't really help me that much because ive never used one before. So, here is my question: How do I use it to test my stator, cdi, and coil? Here is what I am looking for: -What setting should my multimeter be set on? -What wires do I attach the multimeter to and where on those wires? (and what wires they are..ex: ground, etc) -And what do the results/numbers on the screen mean? If this helps, here is what the wiring looks like starting with the stator: Stator: It has 3 wires coming out: 1) White w/ red stripe 2) Red 3) Brown Those wires go to into the CDI Then there are 3 wires that come out of the CDI box: 1) Black w/ white stripe 2) Black 3) Orange There's also Black w/ Red Stripe wire - This one comes out but then loops and goes back in where it came from. Those three wires go to the coil. The black wire and black w/ white stripe wire from the cdi go into a connector that gets screwed down (kind of like a washer) under one of the mounting screws for the coil. The orange wire from the CDI is connected to a black wire that goes directly into the coil. Then there's the spark plug wire that comes out of the coil. So...where do I start? if anyone wants, i can take pictures of the parts too...in case it helps. [/QUOTE]
