it is similar to an IC - intergrated circuit, but it is much bigger. It controls the highvontage current that run to the spark plug. That current will make a small lightning at intervals at the other end of the spark plug. The little lightning will burn the fuel gas in the clylinder, making engine work.
CDI stands for capacitance discharge unit. The unit provides the high voltage to fire the spark plug.
Capacitor Discharge Ignition which is similar to a a CDU.
what wire do i cut on a cdi box on a schwinn scooter 49.5cc
CDI box
the rev limiter is built into the CDI, you can get a CDI without the limiter on ebay.
take the cdi box off and try cranking the scooter youll notice that it still sounds like the coil is bad then wait till night time plug the cdi back up then watch the coil if it throws a spark its not your cdi it might be your spark plug but if you see no spark then its most likley your cdi box or coil thats teh best way to know if your scooter is cdi enabled or needs a coil theres a big defrence when it comes to price of these devices though.
most scooters it is under the seat compartment
cdi unit only .or a blown up engine.answer get a faster scooter not a toy
replace the stock CDI with a performance (orange or blue) CDI, make sure you get the right one, some are AC and some are DC.
cut the pink wire going to the cdi.
on 5occ - 150cc gy6 qmb or qmj engines the rev limiter is part of the cdi programming.
replace stock CDI with a performance CDI, check variator for a washer behind the outer pulley, check exhaust for a restrictor gasket. most state laws say that a 49cc can not exceed 30mph so do this at your own risk.
Go to a scooter store or go online, they sell cdi units that have a potentiometer that will allow you to adjust the timing, just need a timing light and remove the left engine plastics to see the timing marks
