no spark

Post by scott215 »

My brother is restoring a '96 KDX. It's all together now, but no spark. He noticed a blue wire that comes from the coil and goes under the seat. It's not connected to anything. Is something missing? Please help!

Is this fixed?

I'm no electrician but looking at the wiring diagram the blue wire goes from the CDI unit to the ignition coil. I'm pretty sure you wont get a spark if that bad boy is not connected!

Thank you! We called Fredette and he had a used CDI that he gave us for $100 bucks. The bike started on the first kick. Gotta love the KDX!

Wow! Great price on the CDI. Dealer wants over $400 for them. It will be a dark day when that man is called to his heavenly reward.
