Re: new cdi still no spark

how do i link them

just thought of something, does the amount of oil affect the bike sparking? iv heard some bikes have like a limit switch thing, on the dip stick there is 2 little lines close to each other then there is about 4 XXXX just above them, im guessin not to have the oil level in the 4x's???
