Thanks i dont know much about this bike and my dad us helping me with it but i wasnt to sure if i had bought the correct cdi my mate from work had the bike before me and made it into a trial bike got rid of most electics battery ect, and im doing it up atm the bike had a cdi in it but it didnt come with the bike as he needed for his other dt175 i noticed that his cdi was 6 wires so pressumed thats what i needed but come to think of it he didnt have all 6 wires frim the cdi connected so a gathered thats because he had taken the battery off and also no kill switch! I am going to fit one though.

I got the bike home put the new cdi in checked for spark which it did the tried to start the bike which it did for about a second then nothing after 10 kicks! But i did notice fuel pouring out of the carb i think the float was stuck so i took it apart and cleaned all of it the little valve in the carb that the float pushes it in and out has a ridge on it could this be a problem sorry for any confusion just dont know much about bikes and trying to learn as i go thanks

Hello all bought my bike a few days ago and needs a good clean up but need to know some things first....

What cdi do i need i brought one of ebay didnt seem to start checked for spark and it did bright blue big spark! But noticed when i pulled plug out covered in fuel! I then noticed fuel leaking from carb i think the float was sticking so could this cause it to flood? Anyway it did start for a split second so does this mean i have the right cdi? It would not start at all after this!! 6 wire cdi btw but previous owner made into enduro so not all wires need to be connected also could someone tell me what wires to what colour wise?
