Hi Norm,
Couple of questions. First I understand enough on on ac/dc/ ohm's/ current, but some is like spanish ---?
What is the life expectancy of a chinese CDI?
Is it supposed to cop out and hi rpm quickly?
Here's my issue, I have a chines crate motor (cheap), ebay purchase, blew gears in 2nd tank of break in. Ebay seller sends new lower. Sweet, extra parts! Starts, runs for 1 ride then won't start. I do the checks as suggested OHM'S etc. Problem CDI. I order a new one. Run's for 2 miles and craps. My fuel air mix is great.
It seams that you cannot restore a CDI, only get new or build. If a chinese version is purchased again and installed, what can be done to not have it blow on higher RPM? This seams to be the issue. My timing is on and the key on magnito is good.
Finally, I am running racing fuel now and a lower heat plug. It's sweet, but top end still sucks.
To reiterate -
CDI (chinese life expectancy)?
Does this fuel hurt the bike and what should be the running temp?
Quickest fix. I don't know anyone around me RACE CITY USA (nascar country) that is doing this. I turn heads and need this to run. My CDI's seam to crap in 1 or 2 rides on 1/4 to 1/2 throttle! I need a cheap fix, permanent fix for minimal $$ as I am unemployed and just got a job that I use this for transportation
Thanks,
RC Cowboy
