Re: is it charging
Did you check the stator also? It could be bad as well.
From CDI Electronics:
Check the stator and timer base resistance and DVA output as given below for BOTH banks:
WIRE READ TO RESISTANCE DVA (Connected) DVA (Disconnected)
Brown Brown/Yellow 450-550 150 V + 150 V + (*)
White Purple 35-55 0.6 V + {1988 & newer 100 V + (a)} 0.6 V + (#)
White Blue 35-55 0.6 V + {1988 & newer 100 V + (a)} 0.6 V + (#)
White Green 35-55 0.6 V + {1988 & newer 100 V + (a)} 0.6 V + (#)
White Pink 35-55 0.6 V + {1988 & newer 100 V + (a)} 0.6 V + (#)
(*) This reading can be used to determine if a stator or pack has a problem. For instance, if you have no spark on any cylinder and the
stator?s DVA reading is out of spec ? disconnect the stator wires and recheck the DVA output. If the reading is still out of spec ? the stator
is bad. If the reading is now within spec ? the pack is bad.
(#) This reading can be used to determine if a pack has a problem in the triggering circuit. For instance, if you have no spark on one
cylinder and the timer base?s DVA reading for that cylinder is low ? disconnect the timer base wires and recheck the DVA output. If the
reading stays low ? the timer base is bad. If the reading is now within spec ? the pack is bad.
(a) Check stator DVA first. Then if timer base DVA is 0.6 - 1.5 V, the pack is faulty. If below 0.6 V or 1.5 - 99 V, the timer base is faulty.
