I'm tired of dealing with CDI electronics so I'm going to purchase new Sierra power pack and Regulator. Stator is CDI fairly new. Timer base came with the boat bought back in 08/13. I ran the resistance check and DVA check for the timer base and stator in accordance with the CDI provided installation guides and I'm coming up with some problems with the timer base. I read some where that the resistance checks my be messed up because of the scr's and the DMM doesn't read them correctly so I'm going to just jump to the DVA readings.
brown to brown/yellow - wants 150v or more - got 280v roughly on each side
orange to orange/black - wants 10-24v - got 13-16v
port side connector
white to purple & blue & green - wants 0.6v or more - got 5-6v on each
starboard side connector
white to purple & blue & green - wants 0.6v or more - got 5-6v on each
white to black/white - wants 5v or more - got 1.0v +\- 0.2v
The white to black/white DVA reading was way off. I did swap the DMM leads and the voltage got even lower... Would this pop my new power pack? Timer bases are so dang expensive. Not even sure of these wires purposes either...
