  • Troubleshooting Hacked wire harness ATVs is much easier if one uses a portable ignition system. Someone on eBay has put a kit together that is very easy to build. I bought a couple and discovered that they work quite well. In this video, we will unpack one, build it, and try it out on a vintage Honda ATV. Here is the eBay link that I used - www.ebay.com/i...

    Just wanted to say thank you. I just put in this exact system into my 1990 Yamaha ymf 250 Moto 4. After 2 ebay A/C cdi's which were for my bike. And with your instructions my bike finally running.

    Sorry to interrupt this lesson but I've figured out some of the wires on my 200es and I can't figure out what the black with the white stripe connects to, and I have a lavender wire connected to nothing. All this mess is under the headlight and most look like they're factory connections and the kill switch always worked. Thanks and keep it rolling.

    Hey Harvey, I lost spark to my chinese atv after it sat for just 2 weeks. I've tested the coil, new coil (same results for resistance), 27vAC when starting to the CDI... I am not sure how to confirm my pulse generator is all good. I can pick up some signal from it when watching vDC (typically low voltages). What should I be seeing from the pulse generator to CDi and from CDI to positive of the coil when the starter is turning?
    It was running well before and only sat for 2 weeks, nothing changed and now it lost spark. Think I'm chasing the wrong ghost? I've tried new coils and new CDI as well (though after watching your video, the other CDI may be DC instead of AC).

      It will but will barely run and run like pure shit as the ds250 has a taiwan sym 250 and is already dc cdi and has two wire trigger. The grizzly 300 is the same taiwan motor as the ds250 except it has a bigger cylinder and high/low range along with being shaft drive. The sym 250/300s use a unique cdi that looks like a normal dc cdi but its not. Search for a carter gtr 250/300 cdi if you want a cdi that dont cost 300 bucks but beware some sellers label regular dc cdis as working on the gtrs.

    @nickfulfer5411 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’ve seen a million videos on how to hook up a CDI and harnesses but I haven’t found one that shows how to actually test the CDI itself. I know there is ac and dc CDI s and also 4,5,6 pin options. I have a 4 pin dc CDI and I’m showing good readings on every wire to the back to the CDI and new spark plug but still no spark. So the only things left are the CDI itself or the ignition coil. I’m only showing .5v ac coming out of the CDI to the coil on the black/yellow wire. And I can’t find any specs or info about testing the output side of the CDI. Do you already have a video I haven’t seen with this info or could you make a video talking about actually testing a good and bad CDI? Thanks!

    Harvey do you think a chinese engine, for example a honda cg125cc clone or a gy6 would work with a GM HEI Ignition module? I mean it wouldn't be the smoothest running engine, but could it could get you out of a tough spot.

    Sadly this hasn't once worked for me Harvey. I have followed the setup instructions squarely and no luck. I have bought three DC cdi boxes and I only got the first one to get spark before it died a week later. I am concerned about getting another cdi. What are the chances that two new cdi boxes could be defective right out of the box?

    If I still have no spark with this in place of my AC cdi system... I'm assuming either its hooked up wrong, the portable cdi system is damaged, or.....my pulse generator not working. How do I test pulse generator for proper pulse voltage? (Yes, the resistance of pulse generator is within range).

    • @HarveySpooner
      @HarveySpooner  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Kevin, I'm not sure what kind of machine that U have this hooked to.... No spark, assuming that Ur kit functions, leads me toward Ur pulse generator. about testing it, if puts out around 0.5 AC volts, (0.25 - 0.5), when hooked to the cdi with the engine running.... maybe less with a recoil... I use a dvm on the lowest ac scale.... Thanks for asking, watching, and commenting!!!
