How to Check Out CDI on 1997 Yamaha 80hp

[99yam40]

now would be a good time to take some voltage reading and write then down for later or report back on this thread so the next guy looking for answers can find the readings when it was sparking properly

Glad you got it solved, too bad that CDI cost so much though. Now you can enjoy being out on the water again!

Best wishes!!!

I wonder if the CDI unit is causing this
