[F500] 1988 Yamaha Exciter CDI/Kill switch wiring.....

[McAbee, Chuck]

If she stuck her piston she has no legitimate reason to be jealous.  When
she un-sticks the piston....then she can be jealous.

I would, except Melissa's got a stuck piston. She's starting to get jealous
I think. I brought this new toy into the garage and I've spent more time on
it than I have her this year. I hope she understands and will still talk to
me when the time comes this spring!

So I borrowed this sled off of a friend in non-running condition with the
agreement that I could borrow it for a weekend if I get it running. I
drained the 3 year old gas and went through the carbs. It fired up for a
short time then died. No spark and no power to the coil.

Yes this thing is similar to my F500, but it's a little different. There's
3 wires running between the kill switch and the CDI box. One is ground and
one grounds the CDI when you trip the kill switch. I can't determine what
the 3rd wire does. I did some continuity checks and the wire doesn't get
continuity with either of the other two wires regardless of switch
position. The switch feels a little mushy so I don't completely trust that
the kill switch is good. Any clues what this 3rd wire does?

Thanks,

Bob Gebhardt
