Just WTF is it?



Well, the AC CDI unit arrived and that didn't work either! So just what the bloody heck is it, DC or AC?

Actually the fact that neither one of them worked is odd because it definitely is one or the other.

I would then revert back to the like mind that it's a DC system, even though obviously 'you can' get a six pin AC as well as DC unit, So that's BAD advice as to an indicator of one or the other. Which is one of the things they tell you to look for.

What makes it more interesting is the fact that a trawl through You Tube will reveal both these CDI units working on there respective cg 125 / 156fmi versions (but not this bike or it's other versions).  Totally bizarre.

*edit:

* I've since come to realise that this may be a thing to do with the fact the engine is a modded OHC version of the 156 /157 fmi clone instead of an OHV version?

So, really odd ball and back to the original one for now. I opted to try for the one designed for the Kaisar and Skyjet (the name badge of the bike being the only difference, model no's. the same) from Taipei scooter assassins. Along with a 115 size main jet they stock for later on.

That's as far as I'm going to go on the CDI front, if this one doesn't work I'll leave it alone for now. That's the main limiting factor though, no point changing jets etc then as the bike will be limited by the old CDI in anycase. Although it will add a little ummph it won't take it any further than it's already restricted.

As for the bike, I think something needs doing with this bottom fairing, it either needs to be wrapped black carbon to match the top half or gold carbon to add balance:
