CDI boxes

Duke52:
Is there a source for new CDI boxes?  Have very weak spark and all tests point to the CDI. Don't really want to trust 30 year old used ones. 1983 VT500

Check out: http://ascot500.com/index.php?topic=651.0

Or contact: http://ricksmotorsportelectrics.com

Are you positive that the coils are good? Usually that is the problem.

I ran all the checks with ohmmeter according to shop manual, Pulse generator & coils check out good, but there does seem to be some debate about the value of these checks. Ricks does not list a CDI or ignitor box, for the VT, only the FT single cylinder. I contacted them and they checking into making a box for the VT, just have to wait and see if they can do it. Guess if used is all I can get then that's what I'll do. Was hoping someone would have a source for these as there seems to be a demand for them. Thanks for the reply.

J6G1Z:
Rick's has the ability to produce a new CDI box, as I have tested one that they developed in the past. It is a one piece unit with a plug-in wiring harness vs. the original two units that the Ascot uses. You will have to modify one of the rubber mounts to mount it up. You may need to speak to Rick directly for information.

I do have two igniter boxes from a low mileage Ascot for sale if you are interested.

Thanks

Forgot to mention that I have a pair of coils from the same bike.

The bike had 13260 miles on it when it was involved in an accident.
