Tx1200 testing

Anyone still have a carbureted tx 1200 running?

Yes...what do you need to know?

Well I got two cdi's and I'm trying to find out if either one is good

Have you tested the stator ? The tech section will have details for the test-turning engine by hand.

You should also test power at red/purple wire at CDI while cranking. Best to have black meter lead at CDI black wire,then try again with lead on engine. You want 10.6v and higher, around 11v while cranking is better.

Yeah I'm going to do a double check when I get a chance I've went through almost everything I can think of even skipping the LR I still can't get any kind of spark.

My process is kinda specific and starts with cranking voltage on red/pur at CDI - double checking ground with that test.

My test checks a few parts that can keep the CDI from working and I never go any further till it passes the test.
