Well, I finally determined it was the voltage regulator. The only thing I had not checked.
Thanks for the replys. I guess no one knows about the part of my question regarding the jumping? Or what causes the failure of the cdi?
The stop switch ohms good. The pulse coil is showing 3.24 volts. The charging coil is showing 28.3 volts. I do not have the high voltage shunt...
The cdi is the heart of the electrical system. It controls the spark timing, the charging circuit, the stop engine signal, it limits the rpm's and...
I am amazed that you did not abandon ship with that much juice jumping around. A spark from a plug wire is a nasty jolt. Glad you solved it....
I have read some postings about jumping a jetski frying the cdi. Is this caused by the rapid drop in the rpm of the motor when it hits the water...
