Possible reason...
CDI ignition systems might fry your test equipment/fingers if a capacitor discharges during testing. I've seen warnings like this before on CDI ignition systems. |

QUOTE(jrrobertson @ Sep 29 2026, 07:14 AM)  Anyone know why this warning is on the coil for a 914-6? I think that is because you need to make sure the signal is routed through the CDI. Not directly to the coil. I destroyed a coil on my test stand because I wired ignition directly to the coil instead of through the CDI.
