I replaced the CDI unit along with the sparkplug wire and the spark plug but when I hold the spark plug against the frame and crank the pedal i can actually feel a current running thru the plug itself but cannot see any spark...I dont get shocked much at all but there is a current. I am guessing that it has to be something else further up the line...maybe something nearer the flywheel and magneto?

I have checked the cdi unit, the sparkplug and wire wire and also all the connections from the cdi and the kill switch and they all seem ok. I did another check on the spark and its not really that i am getting now spark as i can feel a current when holding the plug but it seems more that I am getting low spark. Not sure what to check next.

I have checked the connections closest to the unit itself and they all seem to be tight. The only one i couldnt check real close is the black wire as it goes underneath some other stuff but will check that out tomorrow morning. It didnt feel loose when i wiggled it a bit but will check it out in the am. Is there a possibility it could be something with the kill switch?

Aye, that sounds about right tho I am not positive...I do know it is a single unit for CDI/Coil.

The coil is the same or part of the CDI switch ? If so I will probably have to order one as my local dealer doesnt carry a ton of parts but I will call him and check in the morning.

I know its not the kill switch unless the switch itself has gone bad...

Hello, I recently purchased a used 2005 tomos revival that had only 400 miles on it. For the most part it is in good shape tho it was stored outside for a bit and needs a few cosmetic fixes. First thing I did was take it to a local tomos dealer for a tuneup and such and it seemed to be running good but this past week as I was leaving work it started up fine but when I got to the end of the block it died and would not restart. I am not the most mechanically inclined person but I did check the fuel line and that seems to be fine. So today I took out the sparkplug (which was replaced during the tuneup) and it seemed fine but I tested the plug and got no spark. What are the next things I should check. Due to the way it died on me so suddenly I dont know if that points to any one thing more than another but I thought maybe that info might be important. Thanks Ed
