Reply #30 - 12/18/16 at 17:14:40 Have you traced the two wires that come from the pickup coil, they run behind the front belt pulley ,then up to the cdi. If there not run right or the retainer near the shifter cover isn't right they could be cut by the pulley or the belt.

Got a second hand cdi today 20 quid exactly the same setup all but a extra pin. Plugged the cdi up in the same order as the the old 1. There's spark but only every now and again (not so often at all) . So checked new coil and old coil only sparks on the new one every now and again.defo hasn't started. To answer the question of how I'm testing is....spark plug in the head new spark plug in the cap grounded to a clean part of the head iv tried plug held so it's touching the head and also a few mm away from it. Something new iv found out tonight though if I have two certain wires connected to the cdi black and yellow and black and white. Then touch orange and white or the grey just slightly over the pins with the spark plug grounded I get spark. But only on certain pins. Angry

Is JOG bustin' on me? Tune in tomorrow ,same bat time , same bat station!

(If the plug fires sometimes ,why doesn't it fire all the time? Maybe due to the pickup coil wires being damaged and grounding intermittently do to vibrations from the starter motor,maybe not,but I'd look. It seems that he's looked everywhere else, and he's tried two coils /plugs/cdi's what's left? logic tells me that the only way the CDI is firing the plug intermittently is the signal from the pickup coil is intermittent.)

I had nothing to loose so iv opened up the old cdi box and it's frazzled in the bottom leftt corner where looks like a little black fuse with 3 prongs. So i opened up the 20 pound 1 I got to replace it as there's two in that one. But still nothing so... What advise would yougive me batman replace with a original one or can they be rebuild or fixed?

ok thanks for the info. mines melted in the same place main black square like yours and at the left side of the black square you have a small and larger risister if thats what they are ?mine i have 2 small ones which are burnt plus the large blue one at the side of them is burnt too. the ones that have heat shrink look fine on mine. but on the otherside (soldered side). some of the green board has lifted so is there anyway of repairing that? regards....bobbertom.

i'm just the messenger, don't shoot.

I would just get another myself. keep your eyes peel on fleabay and about.
they come up every so often, sometimes cheap.

Like the link said, most burn up cause the key has been left on till the bat is dead.
after 20 years or so, the solder joints and caps go bad. resistance is futile.

If the one you bought doesn't match the harness, then it'll start, but won't run right cause the timing is different on the rotor. Fix for that is get the same year rotor, then all's fine.
