Hey guys, new member, 88 650sx owner:
Having ignition issues, to start:
-Fully charged battery
-Replaced coil (ebay), original coil ruptured on backside, went from weak spark to no spark.
-Found damaged exciter wire (red/black), repaired
-35v during cranking coming from exciter wire after repair
-Kill switch/stop switch tested in perfect working order
Questions:
-what's the normal voltage reading at the exciter wire during cranking
-I was told that the triggering of the ignition is done through the cdi, but what gives it the signal to trigger?
-Does the exciter both create the ignition voltage for spark and trigger? If so, being that there are 4 magnets, what is it looking at for timing?
-are ebay coils iffy? Any recommendations for a great aftermarket coil?
I have been having trouble finding this information and it would help make a more informed diagnosis. Thanks for all of your help!
