Hey so. . .I see that this thread is originally 11 years old but, is there anybody with knowledge/experience related to making your own cdi still kicking on the forum? I'm currently setting about making on, currently just trying to find or going to buy the 2uf capacitor. . .just asking because I'd love the help
Roll Your Own CDI

I'm still here, I made a couple. The problem with mine was I couldn't match the low end performance of the stock CDI and mine looked like Dr Frankenstein made it.
Why do you think you were unable to match the stock-low end performance? was the cdi/ignition perhaps not building a big enough charge for low end power? I was having a problem with the stock cdi providing to weak of a spark to get my motor started. It's fairly high compression and uses an expansion chamber, though I'm not fully sure if that would be a variable. Sorry I sorta vomited out a bunch of info at you btw thanks so much for the reply!
Hey thanks, firstly like, I hope everything is good with sbp n stuff. . .sad to see the site slowly dwindle what exactly are we talking? Like just ignition coils or cdi units?
Just coils
We also carry the Magnecor plug wires
NO CDI units.
We used to sell both the Jag and the Lightning. Too much bother with people who didn't know electrics, frankly.
This BUT with a professional plug cap/boot and Magnecor wire!

A little trick I learned from another forum was to use a star washer with a tab bent into the keyway to adjust the timing especially when mixing the two different magnets and TZ/ Oz/ fat magnetos... California motorbike has the Jaguar/Suzuki CDI box but they are advanced a little so the washer helps dial it all in
