Is there an easy Red Neck way to bench test an ignition module out of a leaf blower?

I have some old ones laying around, and would like to find a good one, without re-assembling the blower to test each one.

I read a Google search result that said something about running a magnet over it, but it wasn't very clear as to where to run the magnet, nor how big the magnet should be, etc.


Thanks,
Gary

If its a CDI unit like this. This is what i built for checking IGN coils, points type & CDI units.

 

Daryl,
The last two pictures you posted look interesting.

Can you explain how I can make one of those?
What am I not seeing under the electrical tape?
How is it all hooked up?

Or better yet,
do you make them for sale?

Thanks,
Gary

 

Sorry i dont make them for sale. The atachment to drive a CDI unit was made from an old audio driver transformer out of a very old transistor car radio. pictures show the dis assembled TF & its reshaping to fit the CDI unit. All your doing is inducing voltage pulses into the unit to fire it.

 

Forgot pics.
