Message: [QUOTE="jexy05, post: 1431620, member: 124400"] hi all, I am only new on here, I have 91 kdx200 that's a bit scrappy but apparently went well before I got it, unfortunately the last owner was a bit of a rogue and did some dodgy wiring fixes over the years, I've managed to fix a few things on it and need some help, I am 99% certain I have fitted everything back together in the right place, being a mechanic for years but only being a newbie to bikes I obtained a wiring diagram and traced everything (I think) and it's all where it's supposed to be, I have checked the magneto and that is outputting power on kick start but when I plug it into the cdi this reading disappears and I cant get any spark, I have not welded anything or put an external power source anywhere near the bike, is it possible that the cdi just stopped working from sitting around for a while? I have checked the kill switch and that seems fine, does anyone have any ideas? short of a can of petrol and a match? is there anyone in Melbourne that might have a cdi floating around or knows a bit more about bikes that may be able to help, I am not keeping the bike but would love to ride it just once before I flog it and if I can get it running it's worth twice as much to sell, please help. thanks. :bang: [/QUOTE]
