    Sorry, 1.5V from #1 orange cylinder. Is this normal for the way it fires up?

    Next problem....... I just installed the new CDi and from the red wire to ground I'm getting 31V, from the orange to ground I'm getting 0.15V.... what's next?

    Chrysler 1981 55HP Possible CD problem

    I'm consistently now getting 0.15 volts from both triggers which by the recommendations is too low

    Chrysler 1981 55HP Possible CD problem

    Hi Nordin, was just reading in another article you commented on about using a screwdriver to see how strong the magnets are. The stator magnets are very strong, the one for the trigger not so much which is what could be causing me these issues. If there way to fix this or is that a whole...

    Chrysler 1981 55HP Possible CD problem

    Going by your last comment I can see everything that is supposed to be there so everything looks ok to me I think

    Chrysler 1981 55HP Possible CD problem

    Crazy thought.... as i said I've never taken the fly wheel off so not sure what's under there or how it really works but could the magnet or whatever is under there activating the wrong trigger and that's why it's swapping 180 degrees?

    Chrysler 1981 55HP Possible CD problem

    Update.... I've bypassed the kill switch and same problem occurs. It has to be the CDI somehow changing the ignition pattern?

    Chrysler 1981 55HP Possible CD problem

    Orange is number #1, red number #2. Ok so I've grounded the spark plugs, hooked up the timing light, turned the motor over, I have spark on both cylinders and the timing is at the motor mark at roughly 0TDC. I engage the kill switch in on the gear selector and go to WOT and it all changes. I...

    Chrysler 1981 55HP Possible CD problem

    It's all correct by the diagram except it doesn't say which one is the orange or red coming from the cd unit. The picture I have is from the original manual and that's how I have it wired. Will try swapping them over tomorrow and see if it does make a difference.

    Chrysler 1981 55HP Possible CD problem

    Hence my problem, it can only be connected one way and the flywheel has never been taken off (well not since I've had it). The other photo is where the timing light now shows 30BTDC at WOT instead of the motor mark where it was showing last week which is 180 degrees from spark plug (and have...

    Chrysler 1981 55HP Possible CD problem

    Ok seems like problems solved.... then I took a breathe. Had spark in both cylinders, went to go set the timing and it seems the timing is now 180 degrees from my motor mark. All wiring is the same, nothing has been swapped over and took photos before and after to make sure plus all the plugs...
