CDI woes


Yet again the new CDI seemed to be a let down for some reason? It must be a difference with the XTR being the likey model reference with the Kaisars & Skyjets and the XTRS is obviously different in this regard.



The model which looked more like a standard CDI unit than the others & was plastic as opposed to the usual anodised aluminium was a KCHUNG D406. The unit did not work with the bike. In fact it was very small compared to the original, because of this I deemed the unit to be an AC device.
Having deemed the XTRS to be DC I removed the D406 just in case it got smoked!

The XTR is obviously based on AC & the XTRS is based on DC technology. Seeing as this is a model used on the variants of the Lexmoto but it doesn't work here on the XTRS, that seems logical.

So, I'll pass for now on the CDI front. I'll have to frequent a few forums & phone around, there has to be a solution somewhere. Even if it has been down to the engine being FMI156-2 (cam). It's running on an original CDI they have come up with and has been on the market since 2011, so there should be something around by now somewhere.

This blog has been written to share with other users of the bike so my pit falls won't be yours obviously, if you don't own one of the bikes your obviously just nosey, which is fine.

So, we've deemed it's firing on an 'DC' system as:
AC Kchung D406 &
AC NEW Racing CDI both don't work.

Also:
The DC Casoli Moto CDI doesn't work with the bike.

A few bits & pieces also arrived. The 115 size jet and some fuel filters, to give me something else to do. The fuel filters being quite important, actually I'll cover that bit next.
