super fever cdi problem
« on: April 18, 2011, 04:40:43 PM »
last week i purchased a 2000 zx50 super fever. ran very well for first four days. i decided i would put a "performance" ignition coil i had in the garage in. it ran even better! until later that night it died and wouldnt run :( so i ordered a new CDI and when it got to my house today i noticed it was the wrong one. so i was wondering. do the pins on the wires need to be there? or could i get ride of the harness and plug them directly into each other? or would that not be good?

You need an A/C fired cdi.  What cdi are you trying to hook up?

If its a suitable cdi but its just  the plugs dont fit then you can cut the wires if you have to, i would rather not. I had a peugeot speed fight and had to replace the cdi on it, the peugeot one was 0ver £100 but i got a unrestricted one off ebay from china for £8! The plugs didnt match but i was able to find a site where it gave me what each of the was on the new one and someone on the Peugeot forum gave me a list of what my pins where on my scoot. I just cut the wires off the scoot plug, 1 at a time,and marked what it was , crimped small push on crimps onto each end and plugged them in to the new cdi in the correct place. it worked a treat, still runs now. Once i was sure it worked i sealed up the new cdi  connections where my crimps pushed on with some silicone sealer and left to dry out a few days.

You need to be sure it is compatable tho 1st before you go cutting up your harness.

I wouldn't cut the scoot wires, cut the cdi wires, at $15, it is replacable.

The CDI i got off ebay had no wires to cut, it was just a sealed unit.

Cutting the wires for me was a last resort, i wouldnt recommend it unless you have no other options, it worked for me but like i say it is a last resort.

The other option is to use wire leads to link between the cdi and scoot harness.
