Well it will tell you how to check the parts with a meter.

Theres no average i could look for?...I'd really like to get this going by next week, and it would take 2 or 3 weeks if i had to wait for a manual. Do you know of any sides i could download a PDF version ?

SCORE! i found a site with a complete copy of all the technical info ever needed for a 1982-83 rm 125!

So i did the tests, coil is fine, CDI may be bad, the tests were very complicated and i got some bad readings in a few spots. The stator was fine for one coil but the other one was 40ohm over what its max resistance should be. Any advice?

Alright well since this forum is pretty quiet i got some help off another forum, its amazing how much time you have when your sick on the couch. Anyways, they said a 40 ohm difference shouldnt make it not spark and since the CDI tests were iffy at best i ordered a new one off ebay, $65 shipped, not a bad deal if i do say so myself.

I would think that the cdi was at fault, mine had some bad readings and when I went to the honda bike dealer he told me that the cdi is most likely the cause. He was right.

Yup, the stator seems way to simple, and at only 40ohm over normal read with a cheap meter, i cant imagine that stopping the spark. Hopefully this will work. The shipping was only $5 and said it would take 2-3 buisness days, so im expecting it by next week.

Ok i got the cdi and it has a strong spark, but its not getting fuel, im gonna clean up the carb sunday, ill let you guys know how it goes.

check the kill switch, and the kill switch wires they could be grounding. as to multi-meters, if analog switch to lowest setting and dial in for 0, ohms read backward (right to left) from power (left to right)

Read the last post.

Again old thread, already been solved.

Do you have this running now?

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

No i broke the crank kicking it over...either im superman or i got ripped off, tried calling the guy, he just denied and wouldnt give me my money back.

 

[EagleTalons]

No...You are Snowmobileman!!! That sucks that you broke it just kicking it over :s
