How does the CDI work on a scooter?
The CDI is like a computer as it controls the engine of your scooter. It instructs the fuel injectors when and for how long they should spray.
How is a CDI box different from an inductive system?
Compared to inductive systems, the CDI box system has a shorter transient response and spark duration. The CDI system produces huge electromagnetic noises that don’t sit well with automobile manufacturers. Its short spark duration isn’t ideal for lighting relatively lean mixtures.
Is there any way to test a CDI box?
The only real way to test your CDI box is to swap it out with another known good unit from the same year/make/model. Because of this, we recommend that you rule everything else out before replacing the CDI box. There are so many factors that can cause a CDI box to go out, which is why it’s the only product that we sell without a warranty.
What are the problems with a CDI system?
The CDI system produces huge electromagnetic noises that don’t sit well with automobile manufacturers. Its short spark duration isn’t ideal for lighting relatively lean mixtures. This problem is solved by the release of numerous sparks at low engine speeds.
Is there a problem with the Vespa transponder key?
If you are having trouble with your Piaggio immobiliser or Vespa immobiliser or Vespa ECU or Piaggio ECU the PDF link below is a brilliant guide to help you diagnose the problem. The Vespa transponder key and Piaggio transponder key are very expensive so look after them.
When do you need a CDI unit in your engine?
This helps when you have a higher capacity or a high revving engine where quick sparks are required. The principle that CDI units work in is a little bit complicated as there are a lot of parts involved which work in tandem but the overall process is very simple.
What makes CDI unit holds in motorcycles so important?
Plus unlike coiled induction, the capacitor once reached maximum charge creates a natural cut off and hence no amount of energy is wasted here while in coils the energy constantly keeps flowing and is wasted in the form of heat from the coil.
