Like Frank said, that spark on some CDI motors (not sure about this one) is very short duration, and can be hard to see. I have had several CDI motors where I had to shut the garage door and turn out all lights anywhere near the motor to see the spark jump in a spark plug gap opened to 1/4 inch.

I have an Arctic like yours that a friend gave me. He was told it needs rings. I haven’t done anything with it yet, but I could see if it has spark and then take some ohm-meter readings and see how they compare to the ones you posted; but my schedule will not let me get to it for a couple of weeks.

I’ve tested in the evening darkness and still seen nothing. I’d really appreciate the meter readings to compare. Would be helpful since there isn’t much on the net.
