spree cdi

Post by maxiped77 »

Any one know how to test the cdi box on a 86 spree? Already tested the cdi plug for the coils, but did'nt see any thing in the manual or any post on testing the box it self. Any help on what terminals? thanks

When you spin the engine over does it get power and put power to the coil?
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

if you mean the stator lead, the oms tested out good. not sure how to test this with the motor spinning? meter in volts, or auto tester w/ light?

I recall the Spree manual does not have CDI tests, but the Aero/Elite manuals do. Try downloading them.

I would use a volt meter, if the stator is getting voltage and the coil is getting voltage you are probably fine. What makes you suspect the CDI is bad?
