Use some jumper wires. This is just for a test.

spaz you are right that is dc cdi. they will run sometimes without a bat but it is hard on them hook the charger up to the bat terminals and then check for spark. without a battery it has to make enough juice to power the cdiwhile you kick it. sometimes it works sometimes not but the spark will be week. with a dead or junk bat the bat will suck up all the power and the cdi doesnt get any. use the charger to power the system and see if it works. you should always run a good bat in a eton

Have you check the ground wire from the frame to the engine?

I didn't know that they'd run without a battery though. Thanks for that clarification.

That is pretty much a sure sign that your cdi is dc. The headlight will come on with the key. The ac cdi operates off of the stator. Could be a bad cdi.

The ignitin coil that was on it was sliped and bare wire if that wire hit the metel could that have shorted the cdi a bit to do this?
