Might be??
Just get the wrenches out and change one and see if it works??
Then you know if it works.

Outboardignition.com has. OB troubleshooter page 38.


Thanks Nordin but it has for every other conponent but not the CDI . i guess i have no choice got to take off and check.

it just sucks due to the fact sometimes you could have an intermintent problem and would have been nice having a sure process...

thanks guys anyways

Ok, sorry I misunderstood you. BUT the outputchannels of the CDI boxes are from big capacitors soo you can not measure resistance.
The only thing you can measure is voltage and the voltage you suppose to have from an okey CDI box is about 2-300 volts (measured with DVA).
Look at OB troubleshoot from Outboardignition.com for exact value.

Easiest way to check without special measurment tools. Do as jerryjerry suggested, put them on the engine and see if they work.
