Can you hook me up with a link to the CDI that we have been discussing. My scoot runs without the battery hooked up so that should tell you if its AC or DC. Thanks. If you look up 5 or 6 comments you will see one from "tvnacman" (John). He is the guy who sells these little gems. Just reply to him.

I'll check tvnacman now and order the CDI. I've read about it enough here to feel right and good about making the purchase. NOW.... Please my friends, point me in the direction of a starter. I removed the kickstart because it was a pain while removing and reinstalling the CVT cover thirty times, about, testing weights and doing all the other stuff we do. Anybody feel ok without their kickstarter or I'm not being smart. Yeah - I removed my kickstarter also. I get most parts from "gy6racignteam" - great prices, very good quality, and near instant (free delivery) But you can't get one of those great CDIs from gy6racing. Here is their link - starters in there if you search their store www.ebay.com/sch/gy6racingteam/m.html?item=191500472489&hash=item2c965150a9&pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

My scoot comes with the smaller size CDI and the scoot runs with the battery disconnected. Does this give you enough? Hope so.

Ok, so that replaces the small 3" x 1 1/2" x 1" ORANGE, OR BLACK, OR BLUE (highlighting not shouting) CDI's I currently have on hand.
I bought a 4 sides gold color 3 5/8" x 2 1/8 x 1 3/16" CDI that I fried cause I bought the wrong one.
Can I get an Amen?

I installed the blue cdi the same time I did the mods ",about 3 years ago ". TBA I bought the scoot in 2010 and in 2011 I bought the new engine and did the mods . so its been closer to 4 years ago . the first time I noticed the noise was a week before I put the scoot away for the winter of 2013. Over last summer 2014 it continued but i ran it all summer until changing it out now. So it was about 2.8 years or so after installing everything. I will def purchase one from john with in the next month just to be safe . and I will use the blue one as a backup. In the meantime I will make sure my new battery stays charged good. My last 3 batteries were from Walmart , the ever start 9bs batteries.

I always thought I was lucky for having one of the blue racing cdi's last this long. I should have known better , there is a good chance its the cause of the starter clutch going bad . that and all the batteries I've went through . I ran a weak battery very often in the past 4 yrs.

Thanks for the battery info and all Y'all's help. I've made every mistake possible in two years and bought at least two of almost every mod, but I'm really getting this scooter thing figured out. Except for the starting issue, which I know what to do, the scoot runs great.
I have a Sunny Dong Fang TKB 150 Reverse Trike, with windshield, 62 MPH, gps. Don't need to be screaming down the road, but I want to cruise between 50 and 55 mph without my engines hair on fire.
Thanks again to all of you.
Ps. And so shimmy no shakes. Straight and true like the Red White And Blue!
