As title suggest, from cold, it starts on the button, runs with choke on for a couple of minutes, turn choke off, runs smooth for the best part of 5-10 mins, then without warning, no splutter or cough, it stops, then refuses to start- no spark.
Wait until it gets cold, then, it starts on the the button, runs with choke for a couple of minutes, turn choke off, runs smooth for the best part of 5-10 mins, then without warning..... Repeat until you get the idea, immerse yourself in gloom. I've checked the connections, cleaned etc, checked me voltages, all gravy, and with the coils in a warm state, checked for continuity, again all good, my finger is pointing toward the cdi unit, tid14-78a 3km-01, but, due to some incredible prices, I'm begging for it not to be, the solder on the cdi looks good, there is no darkened patches on the board, or popped caps,nothing looks out of place. Yet due to the nature of the repeated cut out at near on exact times, I'm just not sure, seems like something is getting warm as the engine also is getting warm from cold, and is toasty after ten mins of running, that's why I checked the coils for continuity when they were warm. Rectifier bares no relevance as the bike can run when the rectifier is plugged in or not.
Now this has been the problem since, for no reason, it backfired whilst riding around 25-30mph, then it lost power very briefly whilst nipping round a slower vehicle, revs dropped off, then went back up again, and it's cut out a couple of times when I've been riding and stopped, sitting in neutral. But now it won't re-start at all, all since it back fired. Was a reliable bike before the back fire. Any help from the wise would be most appreciated, money is an issue as I'm down to a 3 day week... It Never rains.
