This CDI unit Im running has a 12v saw tooth wave output.  Any coil recommendations?  I've been looking at a Cavalier twin output coil.

I've converted over to a full DC based CDI and added a regulator and battery so now, I suspect that the stock coil is fine but it's designed to work with a higher AC voltage and it's not working great with 12 VDC.  The spark is almost invisible and the engine won't rev above around 2000 RPM.  I can get DC coils for $10 so I might just try that.

 

I'm trying not to mess up this thread with a lot of talk about ignition and coils so I posted a specific question in the other forum.

 

Thanks for the input.

Digital control of the ignition.  My question was answered so I won't pollute this thread any more.  Thanks! :headbang:

Your DC Conversion and regulator should be isolated from your ignition. If you are running your CDI and coil off of your battery, you've done it all wrong. The DC Conversion is meant to ONLY isolate the lighting circuit, and rectify it to DC Current.

Whitbread was looking for someone to machine parts to produce efi kits. To bad claude wasnt around back then.

He just never had enough interest to make it worth making kits. Everyone wanted parts runs runs of 25, 50, 100 etc.
