Blue racing CDI By idon (Read 1,035 times)

[idon]

Hello all, I have bought a couple of performance kits before on amazon for my scooters and all have worked right. I bought one not too long ago that came with a spark plug, performance coil plug, gas filter, air filter and blue CDI, I installed everything but the air filter. Now the problem I am having is that when I plug in the blue CDI the scooter starts but then turns off, I plug the stick one back up and it starts right away. I really want to use the blue one. Any suggestions what might be going on? I got it from amazon.

Its already Junk.
Its only "Racing" cuz it says os on the box.
All that "Racing" Cdi is mostly fake junk, they will do nothing as far as performance on a stock motor.

Here is a very good read from a electrical guru on the CDI subject.

They are junk. Bad out of the pack. I find enlongating the bolt holes in the pick up on the flywheel so that the contact point is advanced will give you a real 2 to 3 ° spark advance

Do not use those cheap racing cdi if you all dont believe me do a spark comparison from stock to aftermarket you will find 9 times out of ten the stock cdi sparks hotter and more consistent if your trying to go up to a higher cc bore try to find the cdi that fits that cc and make sure you only do a bore that your scooter can handle. Or at least change out internals as well via crank arm,oil pump and crank bearing
