Re: it only sparks once
the performance cdi's are not as good as the factory ones and tend to burn up. no personal experience just what ive heard.
in the us market the cdi's were not restricted so with the aftermarket ones dont show any improvement.

Re: it only sparks once
Yeah, a performance CDI isn't gonna give you any thing except grief. Reinstall the stock one and it will probably fix it.

woodruff key? broke or not present?
Re: it only sparks once
Even if the key is not there, every time the magnet passes the sensor, you should have a spark.kpa2004 wrote:woodruff key? broke or not present?
Try ohms checking the stator coils per the manual. While you are at it ohms check the ignition coil too.
