SRX NO sparky

Also when testing diffirent components like the stator or kill switch or things like that Should I have the ohms part of the meter on 20k scale as well? Ive been searching other peoples post and I cant get figure out why my meter doesnt get anywhere close to the specs that I should be getting. Im starting to doubt my meters readings. Ive switched to every scale and it never shows close to the readings I should get. For example if your checking the stator to see if its good, you switch the meter over to the 20k reading on the scale that has the upside down horseshoe right? When I do the screen reads a 1 and even when I touch the probes to gether it does not change. I just have the feeling Im chasing my tail. Sorry for being so ignorant.
 

Just wanted to update so you guys dont all think Im an idiot. The multimeter Ive been using is deffective. Ive been wasting my time doing searches and the whole time my multimeter was junk. I went out and bought a new one. Touched the probes to gether and they showed 0.00 I did a ohm test on the pickup coil and it read .19= good. I also pulled it over while the meter was set to 200m and it was reading.20-.30 which tells me the pickup coil is working. Next I plugged it back together and went to the cdi box. The cdi has 3 seperate plugs going into it. The green/white wire goes into one harness and the red/white wire goes into another harness. with the cdi still plugged in i poked my probes one into the r/w wire and one into the g/w wire. with the meter still on 200m I got much higher readings here. I then switched to 20k and was getting like .25-30 vdc. Now here is where I think my problem is. I then took my positive probe and stuck it into the orange wire in the cdi and grounded to the chassi,pulled it over and zeros across the board. This means the signal is going into the cdi but not out, right? Did I test it correctly and is there another way to test the cdi. I cant believe I spent almost two days cause of the stupid f-ing junk multimeter.
 
BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you need a cdi box. what year srx??

I would also unhook the coil wire(same orange that comes from cdi) and double check the output again from box, but it sounds like ya need a cdi box, is this a 99 srx as in your avatar?

Yes I have a 1999. I did wanted to update since getting a manual from a gentlemen on here and a actual working multimeter. :o| :o| :o| My key switch has tested good, kill switch good, throtle tested good, pick up coil wire good, plug caps good, coil to plug good. Strange thing is that I get no readings out of red/brown to brown for the source coil resistence. I do get 0.07 out of the brown/red to black coil risistence. So Im down to cdi or stator. WHich do you guys think?
 
do you have varying voltage coming out of the stator wires when you pull it over? I know you checked the p/u coil but I am now asking about the stator wires.

See what youll find is alot of times something can "ohm" out ok but not work correctly to scale it may ohm out but not produce the right voltage or signal to operate correctly, so I always do both checks, this way you really know.

To be honest I dont think I dont think I checked for varying voltage by pulling it over since getting a new meter but Ill try tomorro. SLeds at the inlaws garage. When I tested the stator red/brown -brown shouldnt it have moved and given me some sort of number? I also got no reading when I tested the yellow/black wire for the lighting. So Im getting closer. Tomorro if I throw the meter on 20k dcv and put it in red/brown-brown and pull it over I should get some sort of varying voltage right? If I dont I need to get a stator. I feel a lot better knowing Ive done some homework and am not just throwing parts at it. My father in law thinks Im stupid. He says "just take it to the dealer and let them fix it."

tell you will if he pays the bill. should only be $1000.00 parts and labour for it all.
 
once you fix it on your own, you can rub salt in the wound with him, and tell him all the $$ you saved, not to mention the free education youve learned.

Yeah, the free education is the best part of it all. Im 27 now I told him if I start learning this stuff while Im young enough Ill probably be pretty good when IM his age. He didnt mind when I fixed his 98 xtc 600 last year.(Sled would die as you got on the throttle. I pulled the airbox and opened up the carbs and found the screw that holds carb door on the throttle rail had loosened itself up and fallen out, thus only one carb was opening up with the throttle.) How soon people forget. Right now he thinks Im wasting my time.
 
Ok so I put the recoil back on and pulled it over with the meter set to 20k on dcv w/ probes in brown and black/red stripe I get the same reading I did with the pick up coil which is -0.01 to -0.03. When I switch the meter to 200m dc volts I get a much more varying voltage. My thing is why do I get nothing when I put the meter on ohm 20k and put probes into any of the triangle stator plug? This sucks because I want to get this sled going again but I dont want to buy parts I dont need.
 
ok, this rub-through thing....is it common to all years?

I mean, my 99 has nearly 15,000KM, and never had any electrical issues as described. Just wondering what years if any are affected...or is it a common thing?

Yeah, Its def. not a rub through thing because I have my wiring harness laying across the seat and I untaped all of it and it was perfect. Im gonna retape it and rule it out. Im really thinkin stator now. FOr one It has quite a few small cracks all through the glue that holds the wires down on top. Is that were they loose their resistence or am I over analizing things. One thing to note is the underside of the magneto was absolutely filthy. There was a blackish grime all over the inside and after cleaning it up it shined like a mirror! Im not sure thats the problem But it couldnt have helped. Cleaned the contacts on contacts for the magneto.(stator) So I just had dinner and Im headin back out to but the recoil on and for the heck up it see if I have spark. Got nothing to lose. But I think the main thing here is I should see .35 or so on the multimeter when I Put the probes into the stator red/brown-brown wires. And I still get nothing. Or the red/black brown I get nothing
 
I wanted to note I do have a headlight when I pull it over. Still no spark at the plugs. I guess Im on the market for a stator.
 
Is the 3 prong connector from the stator good mine had some burn marks on it.
Is the box ( forgot the name of it ) behind the secondary clutch good?
 
3 prong connector looks perfect no burns. I dont know about the box IM hoping to get one soon. Either a new cdi or stator. or probably both. Who knows.
 
send me your mailing address if you want me to send you this cdi box............
