engine runs without voltage

[radio5]

40hp 1982 no voltages to specs but runs ,dva adapt to meter. No 150v at coil prim..is my meter not working? Help.

Motor runs on 1 cyl with no spark then will crank fine sometime.

A lot of outboard ignitions will pulse the coil(s), to fire them. You will not see constant voltage on them, with a multimeter. Not sure what or where your DVA is connected.

Have you run the ign troubleshooting test from the CDI Electronics web site?

Yes, I checked ohms ,they were in specs. Prob is I'm getting hardly no voltages on other points on switchbox but at time of tests engine was running fine. Dva was hooked as spec, test point to ground and then between wires. All gave way off voltages. Got to be meter or something.cks fine on house current, around 155 peak..It's crazy tho. These voltages way off and engine running fine. The initial problem was engine run fine home, pull to lake, wouldn't fire..then later on one cyl.. sorry to be so long winded but trying to give all details..
