Electrical Systems Trigger Coil TestingGeneration III PVL Ignition Systems
NOTE: The BLUE wire is found only on 1200cc engines700cc engines will only have GREEN and RED wireS All 2001 Carbureted (700cc and 1200cc) The trigger coils are Hall Effect sensors and require constant DC power source via the brown wire out of the CDI moduleThe wire is powered when the engine is cranked for starting and while runningWhen magnet (sealed in the magnet holder on the flywheel) is passed by the sensor, the sensor becomes conductive and triggers the release of the energy stored in the capacitor, creating the ignition spark1To test trigger coils, disconnect the stator wires and attach volt battery to the brown and gray wires from the stator plateConnect one lead of an ohmmeter to the gray stator wireConnect the other lead to the red, green, or blue sensor wireRefer to the illustration at right2Rotate flywheel slowly while observing the ohmmeter indicationThe ohmmeter should indicate an open circuit (1) until the magnet in the magnet holder passes by the sensorAt this point the reading should switch to low resistance (under 25 ohms)It should go back to infinite as flywheel rotation continues3Repeat the test for the other trigger coilsOhmmeter
