CDI - Test

I have an ongoing electrical problem. The stator was giving a voltage output but ohms were showing a short (red to black over 20k ohms - spec is 3k ohms) I have managed to get a reconditioned one that was surplus to another berg owner.

I fitted it and the Specs seem fine and voltage appears at the red and black however absolutely nothing out of the CDI even when the lead is held.

Before the Stator failure the headlight would dim when revved - possibly a short ?? So I have disconnected the orange wire at CDI (kill Wire) and also disconnected all looms except wires from Stator to CDI.

I have read in the forums that is unlikely that both Stator and CDI would fail at same time but I don't know how to test.

It seems to be an endless money pit and Husaberg are pretty expensive on the parts. Now I know why I bought a 2 Stroke with no battery.

What do I do next ?

Hi Sparks,

I didn't try the oven thing as this one came up and obviously a rewound one is a better solution. I have no way of really getting a CDI to test if mine has failed. The specs on the stator are suppose to be fine but I am getting so confused

RE: Re: RE: Re: CDI - Test

Thanks. I have been pulling my hair out and it seems unlikely from what you say that the CDI has also failed so I am going to speak to someone I know that does part out a few bergs. It might be just something basic that I have missed. Otherwise I will be trying to beat the xmas mail rush and send it over Wouldl be interested in a price of another CDI.
