Hello francoreia, Actually I removed that system and replaced it with a Paul’s karts hotcoil a few months ago. The CDI kit was hard to start. Thanks for watching!!
I wonder why it's so hard to start, I would think the delayed idle ignition would make it easier. Also this has to be the most important and easy upgrades you could do, the engine sounds like a consumer vehicle, what with how smooth everything is, probably would last alot longer without the knocking idle, and I'm assuming the advance is much higher than possible with the lawnmower magneto.
Hello, Not sure why it was so hard to start. I went through that install so many times while making this video. When it work the engine ran amazing. Just didn’t start that often. I may try it again one day. Thanks for watching!!
This took 2 weeks to finish due to the sensor for the flywheel not working properly. But the customer service was excellent and I received a replacement part that worked perfectly.
There is a link in the description but it’s a guy out of Canada that makes the kits and he has support here in the states to help with distribution. Unfortunately one of the sensors had a problem but he worked with via Facebook messenger to help figure it out. Once we knew what was up he quickly sent me a replacement part. Can’t get any better support than that.
Really changed how the runs. Seems to pull hard and not flatten out like before. I haven’t had a chance to get it out and really open it up but for now I very pleased with the performance.
I understand man my time is so limited for work on my projects. I just finished installing new rear shackles on a Chevy Silverado. Oh man is it hot outside..
I wish it would rain here. It’s about 95 where I am but the humidity is crazy today. Really going to transform Mighty with the next engine build! Going FBC style with the next one. Gotta buy a helmet 🪖!!!
@@DIYWilly I'm going to build mine a hard tail street style with street tires my scat cat I've worked on a little it's going to be a dirt bike I've got boxes of stuff to get it together just need a few days off from my hectic schedule to rest up and start banging out a semi finished product that I can add on to later
Hello Charles, The CDI kit performs very well but I found to be hard to start. I eventually took it off and installed a Paul’s Karts hot coil. I think the Hot coil makes the engine easier to start. I may try working with the CDI again someday. As for the muffler, I made it and I have a video about it and the parts I used. Thanks for watching!!!
@@DIYWilly I'm doing a hybrid (gas-electric) application, a powerful electric motor will spin the engine to ~1000 rpm instantly. Where did you get the CDI kit?
Hello Montiel, When I purchased it it was about $130. You would have to contact the seller and see what it goes for now. Check out the links in the description. Thanks for watching.
Thanks.. I still need to clean up the wiring harness and locate the battery. But over I am impressed with the performance of the kit. Thanks for watching!
@DIYWilly you bought a kit. I'm talking wiring a cdi from a pit bike or something of the sort and using a battery to run it. Not looking for a pre-made hundred dollar kit. Any general cdi
You could wire any DC CDI box the same way. The only issue I see would be the magnetic pick up of the flywheel. I purchased the CDI kit for that part. Otherwise any DC Box would work. The box should wire exactly the same way, switching the positive wire with the kill switch.
@DIYWilly if that's true then making a video on doing a cheap cdi for predator 212 would get you a huge chunk of views. Because any cdi I find is $100 or more. So a cheap pit bike plug in solution would be awesome
Hello Bietz, You should ask the builder of the kit. I have the links in the description. With that said though I paid $125 for this kit. You should see what there going for now. Thanks for watching.
Just letting you know yanking on the pull cord is not the best way to start your engine it’s best to pull a little until the it locks with the flywheel and then you pull
Shit man I cring anytime I see older ppl doing this most do it to there lawn mowers and I’m just thinking damn wonder how many times they have replaced that pull starter should be a smooth Motion not just yanking on it trying to pull it through the engine
I knew as soon as all those wires and sensors and battery came out that something wasn’t going to work right if it ant broke don’t fix it 125$ to clutter up your bike nd take for ever to start no thanks
Hello Nate, I think it was worth to try. I definitely agree the stock worked better. I have since removed the ignition kit. I will say the bike ran good and was very responsive with the kit but the hard starts … not worth it. Thanks again for watching!!
Like to see a review now youve had it on for sometime
Thanx for sharing

What muffler are you using?
Hello Greggory, This a muffler I made for the bike. I wanted the bike to be quiet while riding in the neighborhood. Thanks for watching!!

I just saw the short for this!

@@DIYWilly nice an actual company makes these kits?

@@DIYWilly as soon as I asked I made the connection. I've seen the videos. That guy is very passionate about his work.
Yes very passionate about the kits. Only other problem I have is where to let it rip and the time play.
Great stuff Sir! Cutting edge CDI technology! I like it!
Really changed how the runs. Seems to pull hard and not flatten out like before. I haven’t had a chance to get it out and really open it up but for now I very pleased with the performance.
Man mighty is a turning into a beast my spare time to work on anything has been few and far in between as of late winter coming things will slow down
I understand man my time is so limited for work on my projects. I just finished installing new rear shackles on a Chevy Silverado. Oh man is it hot outside..
@@DIYWilly 75 today but it rained 3" yesterday been fighting mud be back over 100 this weekend

@@heathenprojects2639 Can’t wait to see it
I'm very impressed I'd like to know more about the CDI kit as well as what exhaust do you have on the bike it sounds phenomenal

@@DIYWilly Too bad it doesn't have a switch to fix the timing during startup, like a choke for your ignition lol.
@@username-mk8gfThat might help!
@@DIYWilly I'm doing a hybrid (gas-electric) application, a powerful electric motor will spin the engine to ~1000 rpm instantly. Where did you get the CDI kit?
Check out CDI performance on Facebook. I purchased the kit from him.
Where can I buy this CDI kit for my 196 engine
Hello JVL-ob8ld, Check out the links in the description. The company has a Facebook page to order parts from. Thanks for watching!!!
How much was it DIY?
Hello Montiel, When I purchased it it was about $130. You would have to contact the seller and see what it goes for now. Check out the links in the description. Thanks for watching.
How long does that battery last running it?
I never had It go dead on me. And I have removed the CDI now and installed a regular coil. Thanks for watching!!
@@DIYWilly why did you remove it? I ordered a kit from them myself hasent came in yet
@@masonbabineaux1662 The engine was hard to start. But when it ran it was nice. To me I wanted it to start quickly and a regular coil was the answer.
Wow!!
Thanks.. I still need to clean up the wiring harness and locate the battery. But over I am impressed with the performance of the kit. Thanks for watching!
Can someone teach us to wire one instead of posting tbe 500th installation video of a kit
Hello Jack, What is you question about the wiring? It’s a simple switched 12v system with ground from battery. Thanks for watching!!
