besure you are setting the meter on the AC scale, because it's AC voltage going to the CDI
4 volts or more would have sounded normal to me..
it's what i usually get on a honda mag
use the kick start ( i think the 86 has it )when making the reading..
the kick start will crank the engine faster than the electric and give you a more accurate reading of the condition of the mag..
