Yamaha 200ETXN 1984 Stator Values

way that with you spinning the motor over with the starter?

Yessir. With the kill switch pulled so it couldn't fire. It spins over with no drag from the starter.

I checked the brown lead to the block on 200ohm setting just to be sure and saw no reading.

well the manual does not give specs that low, so we have to think the low speed charge coil is bad or the wiring to it.
but if the low speed coil is not putting out what is needed, then I do not see how the other plugs would be sparking
this is getting very strange.

what does no reading mean?

what does no reading mean?

It is reading as if there is no continuity. I tested different spots on the block and pressed into the wire at the connector to be sure.

 

[99yam40]

so you were reading zeros, OL, or something else?

I'm definitely confused by this. Without yalls help I would absolutely be stuck.

I took this engine to a dude that said he could fix it a few months ago. I found intermittent spark on the same two cylinders after I water trialed it. Turns out he just swapped two 70hp coils on and called it a day.

I was reading the 1 on the left that I see with out the probes touching.

 

[99yam40]

now that you have the DVA, run thru all of the tests for voltage into and out of the CDI to see what you get

I'll try and carve some time out tomorrow and see what the real values are.

as I said before,I have never seem a meter read 1 when set to ohms when reading no continuity.
Where are you located?
USA or some other country?

I'm in the US but the meter was definitely made in China. I'm ordering a Fluke tomorrow just to make sure I'm getting legit readings.

 

[99yam40]

heck, even my China made meter reads OL when no continuity is there,
along with all of the other meters including Flukes.
even set to diode testing it reads OL if no connection is seen

All of my previous meters did as well. I'm not sure why this one is different but the dial isn't as smooth as I would like it to be either. I am really don't know if I can trust it.

1 or an OL on the meter, when measuring resistance or continuity, means there is no continuity or the circuit is broken. OL for open loop or open line. Per the inner web.

Thank you for that. I guess I can trust it until I get a little better one.
