Hello. I just recently purchased a 1988 Wave Runner with the WR500 motor in it. The problem I'm having with it is I'm not getting any spark. The guy i bought it off of had taken it apart and bought a used CDI module, coil, and started solenoid. But he gave up working on it, so i bought it off him.
So heres where I'm at. I have replaced the Stator with one off eBay. The CDI box that came original on it was the 6K8-10 and the one that came off eBay is a 6K8-11 Other then the White/Red Stripe wire connector being wrong. the two modules look to be the same and from what iv read should work. With a test Light iv determined that I'm getting current from the Brown wire off the stator which runs into the CDI module. So assuming that the stator is functioning ok, Iv disconnected the Safety Switch at the handle bars.
I unhooked the Orange Wire going from the CDI to Coil and with my test light, checked to see if i was getting current while turning over the motor.. The test light did not light up. Iv tested this with Both CDI Modules, and got the same results? Now I'm suspecting that i have two bad CDI units here. Could this be possible? Or did i do something wrong in my testing to make me think this? Is there a test procedure that i can do in order to check my CDI Unit?
Iv ordered the Clymer Manual, but I'm not sure how long its going to take to arrive, as i wasn't able to get one locally. If any one has a wiring schematic for this Wave runner and could possibly E-mail me a PDF of it that would be very help full.
Thank you.
