I have no spark. I have taken the spark plug out, ground it to the frame and made sure that was the issue. I have replaced the coil, and the CDI box still no spark. I have also checked any fuses I could find. HELP...
the kills switch may need to be cleaned out with WD40 while working it back and forth , remove the spark plug boot by unscrewing it , cut 1'4 off wire and rescrew it back together ,
make sure the cdi isn't from china , if the CDI you replaced the old one with was new and you paid $15-30 , that could very well be your problem , or maybe you got the wrong CDI , there are some cdi experts on here who know what fits what year
Were the CDI and coil you replaced genuine Honda OEM parts or chinies knockoffs? If either are knockoffs you get to buy them again, this time OEM, along with anything else those chinies parts fried to a crisp.
If they were OEM Honda parts, check the kill switch, it may have gotten dirty or corroded inside. Work it back and forth several times and see if that helps. Check the ignition switch using a multimeter or a test light to check that it is working. Make sure you have a neutral light on... Let us know what you find out.
