Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

How does it compare to the other box?

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

I don't know. My original box never worked.

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

hell yes thanks for posting this

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

great input, thank you.

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

trying this on a minarelli soon as it arrives from treats

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

so does this work with a minarelli with a 12 volt coil?

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

tomtom, how'd it work on the minarelli?

Garelli CDI box alternative

is this just a replacement box for the cdi unit you can purchase for the garelli? basically can this be used on my stock ssxl? or would is this just for people who already have the cdi unit installed?

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

yeah how'd this work on your minarelli? i'm thinking of going this route for smoother RPM's...

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

well, I bought it so I will let ya know how it works when I install it.

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

got it in the mail and will be putting it on my minarelli tomorrow morning

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

this is confusing to me. are you saying this is all you need? are you running this with points?

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

who are you asking the question to?

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

WHERE AM I???? WHO MOVED MY CHEESE?

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

or sorry

it works on minarelli v1 perfectly. no difference i can detect. i like it better since it condenses hardware into one nice little package

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

dont run it with points... just connect it to the cdi coil in the magneto (green, yellow, whatever color you got) and run it.

super simple.

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

did you notice smoother rpms or anything else of that sort?

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

HEY WALT!! WOWZERS THAT WENT RIGHT OVER MY HEAD!! OH WELL, GOOD LUCK ON YOUR PROJECT, IM NO EXPERT!!

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

it functions just the same that the cdi + box i got from ed had functioned...

i used the cdi coil (yellow thing which replaces you ignition coil in the magneto) and plug that into this cdi box and didnt need an external coil

its a cdi. so resistor plugs, smoother rpm, strong spark and no fouled plugs. lights are way better. i always run a voltage reg with my cdi... since i got this one. since my box stopped working after a few hundred miles.

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

Cool, yeah I am using a BR7HS on my setup... the CDI box for my Minarelli is all melted and shit from sitting in the sun :/ it probably won't last much longer and already after only 3 weeks my idle is total shit... I went down to a 48 idle jet from a 50 and it helped but this is definitely a box issue... everything else is great once I rev it out, wonderful. (and no air leaks all that stuff is good)... plus, since the coil and the cdi box are in the same unit it will clear up my wiring a good deal.

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

been running this on my wife's NOI all summer. most trouble free ignition ever!

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

I am not saying the box isn't good.. I have never burnt up a black box.. 1 coil tho and quatto burnt a long time ago...

walt I would sent a replace asap.. if you email me about the doa box bud.. I am happy we have other options tho.. I like the combo box also.. let wiring smooth rev and .. just plain out cool. thanks,ed

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

yeah i do have to say...

i bought this box when i had thought i blew the box on my v1 cdi from ed...

well... long story short... i just had it hooked up wrong. i ordered this immediately before contacting ed... should've just asked him first since he offered a replacement box shipped out for free asap

that being said. this box is a great alternative if you want one less thing on your ped

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

ok... yeah I actually bought several boxes last winter and tried to get this to work but it turned out my green coil cooked. the box was fine as far as i could tell but the coil wasn't doing shit to make it fire.

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

if there a next time. I will just get the coils. just for you lil q

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

and me. remember i had a bad green coil. now that shit rocks hard.

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

I can't up with it all greg... Yes.. so

the doa count..

3 coils

3 boxes...

Re: Garelli CDI box alternative

I just got my coil/box combo in the mail. I hooked it up per the directions above, still no spark. This make me think that even though my ignition coil is shocking me when I hold the wires in my hands when I try and fire it over.. that it might not be enough to create spark at the plug. Anyone tested the resistance of one of the green coils?
