cdi 's

[Bill Lemans]

I have been lookig at upgrading my sons eton cdi but the more i look the more i wonder.

It's a 2000 50cc and I cut the green wire. Airsal T6 70cc , Hetrick pipe and 1500rpm springs .

The more I look the more I see vast price differences in these the aftermarket ones at performance shops and on ebay. Can someone explain the differences between all these things . Really looking for a reasonably priced one that in not limited and will adjust the curve a bit on take off.

These things go from 12.00 to 150.00 and I'm not entirely sure buying will make a huge difference for trail riding.

The twelve dollar one from e-bay works fine.

As long as you cut the green wire, you are just as good as the $12.00 one, as well.

hi what does cutting the green wire do? its the green one to the cdi? does it take the rev limiter off? its a polaris scrambler 50 which is a eton what? thx all

The little green wire in on the back of the CDI it's a loop in comes out an go's back in. Cut it that removes the rev limit. That's an old 50cc stock class trick, thats the first thing you do LOL

i dont have the green wire cdi can i use the green wire cdi on a 02 polaris scrambler 50?

[etondaddy]

Yes you can............ but if you have to buy one just get the 12 dollar one from e-bay. We run it on Kyles 90 and they work great
