Steve,
You really nead a service manual......... :) there is no way to check a CDI the manual simply states to check the stator, T.O.R.S., ignition coil, plugs, wires, ect.... then if all checks out replace the C.D.I.

This is for an 83 but I think it is the same.

The 83 did not have the T.O.R.S. or hand warmers

It's not the same as a 85 the cdi box only has 3 terminals in the connector. Does any one have one they could sell? 85 VMAX 3 terminal round connector
