hey,
looks like 99% of CDI out there are AC but the A50 is DC CDI, and i'm looking at a cdi with adjustable rev limiter but it's ac, can't find a DC one.
despite posts here that say the A50 has an AC cdi, it's definitely DC. My question is has anyone converted to an AC cdi. looks like you could do it if you tapped a wire from the generator? problem is the generator has three wires, one is ground, which of the other two should you use.
buy the way in case anyone disagrees and thinks the A50 has an AC cdi, in the service manual wiring diagram, the generator only connects to the regulator, headlight switch and auto bystarter, NOT the CDI
second reason, i tested the voltage with a multimeter and there was 13v DC at the CDI power pin
third reason I used that power pin to run my tach, it works, if it was ac i'd probably have a fried tach
