Yes, a CDI unit can get off time with the motor. Some of the causes of a damaged CDI unit in a vehicle are bad spark plugs, no oil, and carbon build up.

CDI unit (which is the abbreviation of the "Capacitor Discharge Igniter")
no the cdi unit transfers the power from the battery, amplifies it and sends the current to the rest of the machine no the cdi unit transfers the power from the battery, amplifies it and sends the current to the rest of the machine
The link I have provided below this answer will give you the best description of CDI.
the only way to test a cdi is to repalce it. There is no other diagnostic for a cdi box
It will not start.
If a CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) unit is broken, the engine may fail to start or run poorly. The CDI unit is responsible for timing the ignition system, so a malfunction can cause misfires, loss of power, or complete engine failure. It is important to replace a faulty CDI unit to restore proper engine function.
Capacitive Discharge Ignition
the motor is effected by the fusion eactor inside the CDI
most scooters it is under the seat compartment
A Capacative Discharge Ignition unit holds the current from the generator, raises its frequency to thousands of volts and then fires it like a shot through the spark plug lead at precicely the right time to keep your motor running. A CDI unit incorperates a solid state logically programmable chip allowing unprecedented control over engine ignition timing throughout the engines entire rev range, as well as limiting the eventual speed of the motor under agreed conditions. What could be thought of as a programmable electronic distributor. Previously this job would have been done by a mechanical distributor/capacitor, with centrifugal weights and or a vacuum diaphragm advancing the spark on the power stroke. A CDI unit promises to allow the motor engineers to time precicely when the spark plug will fire, at any point in the rev range, to provide the maximum power output under all predictable conditions. It also allows for efficient limiting of engine revs at the red line or in top gear.
