KAPUSTA said:Hey taylzee,what kind of power do the source give for the cdi,question is what is it used for?What I'm trying to accomplish is to do an ohm test for both of the coils.I can test my source leads but for the pickup coil I cannot distinquish which wires to test!my clymer tells me w/r,w/g,I don't have this color code on my sled! the factory manual has a color of simular but there is no white wire or yellow,y/black! so I don't know which wire to test for resistance for the pickup.There is an orange wire that comes out of the cdi box and hooks to my spark coils.
KAPUSTA said:Hey guys',I've been searching sites on cdi ignitions can't really find an answer about how or what determines when or which spark plug fires,meaning the order of when they fire.I understand that the source coil puts out the charge but then what determines which coil gets the charge first?Is it all done by the cdi box?can you guys' help out? Thanks.

here's some good applicable reading... not necessarily for sleds but many concepts are the same... tj
