Ignition Coil Voltage

[csdwarf]

Alright so i have an IT200 without spark, i think its the CDI box but im just troubleshooting to make sure



I test my lighting coil, with a kick from my hand i can get about 2 volts



My ignition coil(under the flywheel), when i kick it with my hand the needle moves for sure, but its only about a volt.

I know that the cdi box and primary coil make this more, but if im getting voltage out of the Ignition coil at all does this mean its working??

Hard to say when you're kicking it with your hand. It's probably fine if you're getting some reading. Hang tight till you get the CDI and see what that does for it.

Lol,yeah just testing, im pretty sure its fine also, i am deffinitly getting a reading and i also think that would mean it is fine, im not even going hard


1 hand grounding the volt meter and bending my hand around the back of the bike and pulling down on the lever with no plug in it.

and im getting an obvious reading. seems good to me.

Coil tested good, what else is there besides CDI?

ill just bypass the killswitch when it comes in and i try it.\


thanks everyone!

to get a better reading you really should put a shoe or boot on your hand
