What style coil are you using ? Please post a picture or a link so we can see .

im using the typical black ingition coil that looks like this. i think i posted the image right? if not, then here is the link, .monsterscooterparts.com/hoca-hi-performance-ignition-coil.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">.monsterscooterparts.com/hoca-hi-performance-ignition-coil.html
the coil looks like this one, buts its the stock one. i have a second coil like this one too. and another one like this

You said you fixed the short, have you confirmed 12Vdc to the cdi?

yes, the cdi has full power, 12.5vdc. i ever did the voltage test on the ground terminal of the cdi and it reads 12.5vdc. the pickup coil reads a good 1.6vac, now i just need to know what the output voltage of the cdi is supposed to be. and to know how to do i test on my ignition coil to see if its bad or not.

[jehuty9800]

i still dont know what the ignition output voltage it supposed to be. is it AC, DC? and how do i test to see if my igntion coils are any good?

[jehuty9800]

So yeah, since I haven't gotten any responses from here, I just decided to convert y DC system to AC. I've ordered the cdi, stator and a new ignition coil as well.

not 100% on this but i think the cdi should put out about 150-250v dc, the coil then ramps it up some more, around 10x's that. cdi's always put out dc, even if they are an ac fed version, and the dc versions are a good bit larger than the ac ones because they first have to invert the dc to ac for the capacitors (which hike the voltage some), then rectify it back to dc for the coil. the ac ones don't have to go through the first step so they are smaller.

i know it didn't help with your original problem but hopefully helped clear up a bit of your last post.

what was the short you found and fixed but now have no spark? in a post you mentioned ordering both the stock and the no rev versions. did you try both while getting the short? it may have fried both, but if only one did you try the other after clearing the short?

[jehuty9800]

Hi, thanks for the info about the output voltages. The short I found was a open ground from the cdi to frame. For my testing I used the stock one. But it still doesn't work, so I'm guessing that it fried. Now before I use the no rev one, I'm trying to figure out if my no rev one may have different plug arrangement then the stock one. It's supposed to be for a Honda dio. I know it's a dc cdi as it is HUGE. Now I'm wondering if the dio plus it different from mine.

Testing out put voltage from CDI to coil is very difficult with ordinary meter, why? The voltage is on and off and the flywheel spins it's not constant. Since you've bought all new components maybe it'll come together.
