hey man, i was looking at gonig and picking up this ski, but it quite a drive away from me. anyways, i was going to leave around 3 am to get there early today, but last night the guy called me and told me the ski lost spark. he said he started it in the morning, it ran fine and he shut dwn, then he put new plugs in and now he cant get any spark, he tried to switch back to the other plugs, but there is still no spark. now the ski is not in front of me, and id still like to go purchase it so i have it for the week, but like i said, its a long drive and if im not sure what it is yet im worried what i could find. anyways, to help diagnose it, he tested his connections. i thought maybe it was the coil, but he said hes not even getting power to the coil, so then im thinking the cdi is done, and it just needs a new cdi? is this common, but then he told me hes not getting any power from the wires coming from the stator. the ski turns over fine and has great compression in both cylinders, so it could only be so much wrong with the wiring right, its not a very complicated system am i right? so are the skis not suppose to get power unless its started, or if the batterys turning it over should the ski stil be registering power from the stator? anyways, i've got a whole 94 vxr pro ion my backyard that had a 701 in it, with all good wiring, this should bolt up not problem to my sj right, its got 61x in it aswell? any guess what could be going on?
