C.D.I. SYSTEM
The C.D.I. (capacitive discharge ignition) electronic ignition system is designed to provide a powerful spark,
especiallv at high rpm, with no scheduled maintenance.
The unit consists of diode transistors. condenser,

SPARK ADVANCE PULSER
The pulser is inspected and
adjusted at the factory and
must never be disassembled.
The ignition coil, battery charging coil
and spark advance pulser are assembl-
ed
i'nside the 12-pole stator.
FEATURES
There are no contact points since the C.D.I. system employs an inductive buildup by capacitive discharge.
The
C.D.I. can develop greater voltage at the spark plugs than conventional systems and is less sensitive to spark plug
fouling.
Working on AC, the secondary energy produced to fire the spark plugs
is
stable regardless of the battery's charge.
The electronic timing advance is virtually free from troubles which occur in mechanical advancers.
The overall design eliminates initial and periodic adjustments and maintenance services.
