Maybe someone can help me out. I am sure I am over looking a very simple solution...
I setup the stock Hughs CDI/PMA kit with the relay and capacitor - no battery. I cannot get spark. If I unplug the relay the bike fires up just fine, however, I do not have lights or bike theft protection. I hooked up a temporary battery and the system will work as it should. I hear the relay triggering and the key switch works as it should.
I watched Hughs Facebook video that shows the setup. Hughs Video I have this exact setup but with an LED brake light and a standard bulb headlight (on a on/off switch).
His video shows the system working normally. So, what am I missing here? The system should just kick on over. Is my capacitor not a high enough rating? Below is the style of cap I am using.
I would love some helpful thoughts.
