I can be too and apologize.
Still, the boxes are NOT CDI, anybody calling them that is incorrect, and it automatically flaws all testing procedures like here. CDI does not power coils up at all times like these do and a simple Kettering system. Meaning thinking the coils get a 'pulse' is incorrect in its' entirety to answer the first post. The ignitors get the pulse from the pulsers (simple magnetic impulse self powered proximity sensors) not the coils. The coils themselves get fed 12 volt all the time (OP can search for a 'pulse' there until the end of the earth and not find it) and them switching OFF is what makes the spark when the ignitors open the ground up from the coils that they control. CDI coils DO get a single short pulse that is a high voltage hit of around 400 volts or so and you will never get that ever on one of these DOHC, the coils again being 12 volt only. These Honda ignitor boxes are transistor switches only like most cars use, they do not use a cap to charge up to power and discharge like say a Kawasaki true CDI which I worked on plenty of times. Or Honda say on the dirt bikes.
Get that...............these, coils normally ON most of the time, CDI coils normally OFF. That automatically marks the type of system being used there.
People who make the ignitors call them wrong too, nothing surprising at that as many manuals call them erroneously the same as well. Bike people always assume that electronic ignition means it must automatically be CDI and simply not always true.
OP can think whatever he wants, nobody says there is a law that has to be right.
