Is it possible to wire the cdi to power the spark without a stator? Like hook up the power in to cdi wire to the positive on the battery instead of the stator?
My stator on my 150cc burned out right when I got to work the other day, I already ordered a new sator but it may arrive too late. They are demolishing the property where I work in less than 2 weeks, I need to make it move for about 13 miles to get it to the closest safe spot..

lain you need to disconnect the bullet plug at the stator harness, install a dc cdi and connect the bullet plug to 12v and your good to go.

But what if I cannot get a DC CDI in time either? I have plenty of spare AC CDIs, can I just hope it doesn't fry them all out before I get home or would it be pointless? Or what about using the charging system or lighting coils to power the cdi instead? They seem to still give out power just not the coil that is supposed to power the cdi. |

I'm not sure of your time frame, I suspect you will burn them all out.

From new york? I would expect it to arrive the next day via regular first class mail, we are in neighboring states. I want to check one of the local scooter shops first since I called the other day and they told me they just didn't know if any of them were AC or DC which is why I usually won't buy from him because of him selling things he doesn't know what they are....
The only difference between AC and DC cdi in appearance is the size right? What about pins? It looks like in the pinout there are only 5 pins in use, the pin that normally is for killswitch does not exist on the DC cdi pinout, but is the pin there? How do I know I am looking at a DC cdi?

They seem to be healthy, I don't have a meter but with a test light I get a strong light from them, nothing at all from the coil for the spark from stator. I'm really just trying to get it to ride once, not make a conversion unless I really have to... I appreciate your advice tvnacman |

I'll try it later on break, I don't get break for another.... 4 to 6 hours from now but I already fabricated the wires needed so I can just screw them in, plug them in, and try it out.
EDIT: Tried it, it did not work. Going to try to see if the scooter shop has a DC CDI.
Shop didnt have the CDI.
Stator came early, problem solved!
