A most ingenious way to have an emergancy pack to get home if coil or cdi fails on the trails or even just testing the wire loom for fails.great little kit to have handy.like the red/green shows states.well if the misses doesnt find u handsome at least she finds u handy!!snookie pa.
Pretty ingenious little ignition box that you’ve built there Harvey. I would tend to agree with you that one probably wouldn’t want to use this for an extended ride. But for working on and troubleshooting your quad or bike, I think you’ve come up with the perfect solution. Love your content my friend, keep up the good work!
how to build a portable cdi box yes you did i must have missed this one awesome thumbs up shared
I have been waiting almost a year for this video, thanks Harvey, great video!
Hey Cay!!! I hope the video helps U!!! Thanks for Ur encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!
@@HarveySpooner do you think this would work on my 350 warrior? I just jump my China quad with a 12v batt. and go and bring it with me but I think I understand the wire now and your video confirmed it for me so thanks, but the next step is my warrior...
Thank you for the great videos!
@@HarveySpooner Is this the same hookup for a GY6 150cc Engine?
Great video!! You're the man Harvey!! The knowledge of quads that you share on your channel is a great help and has helped me personally get wiring figured out on a number of powersports vehicles. I would like to say, thank you very much!!
Hey T Manseau!!! I'm glad that my videos have helped U!!!! I want to thanks you for all of your kind words and feedback!!!! Thanks also for Ur thoughts, watching, and commenting!!!
Great Video, I bought everything to build me one of these boxes, but Haven't built it yet. I think it is a great asset to working on old ATV's and Quads. Keep the Videos coming !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video. Thanks for showing how a CDI works.
Hey David Collins!!!! U have any issues with the recent hurricane??? I hope this video keeps some of the old vintage ATVs out of the scrap yard!!!! Thanks for Ur thoughts, encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!
No issues with the Hurricane, just some rain. Yes, let's keep the toys of of the scrap heap. Thanks, Harvey.
@Harvey Spooner great write up and video as always, when dealing with the radio shack box just thought to help out about the covers you put the plastic cover first and then put the metal one over top of the plastic on for reinforcing the face for mounting switches and buttons on the face of it.
Hi Spooner Hope Your feeling better can you show How to wire a gy6 Yerf Dog Spider Box ignition switch
Awesome bud but don't push yourself too hard for us we would rather keep you around and kicking for many more years.
Hey Mike, In my business, it seems like there are a million deals and a million ATVs to buy or none.... I'm pushing it a bit now, but, I hope to be well set up for winter.... Thanks for Ur concern, thoughts, encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!
I have a question for you. from my following of your . program I feel that we don't rely need the state to start the system , so-long as you have the trigger unit . & a good battery with the DC system. Yes I get it to run the vehicle properly & lights &so on & we have to charge up the system that's why we need the stator , can you confirm this point.
Great video Harvey
Hey Les!!! I hope my video keeps some old machines out of the scrap yard.... Thanks for Ur encouragement, watching, and commenting!!
Thank you for making the video brother. I think this is the direction I'm going with.
My 06 250 arctic cat fourwheeler has no spark and my stata isn't making power but I think i found a pulse. My quad has 2 cdi boxes and I'm going to see if the smaller one is dc.
Could you use somthing like this for restomoding a early trail 90?
Very nice video! Informative,& what a great idea for buying bikes with low price. Thanks, keep up the great work.
Hi Harvey! Love your videos, I have learned a lot from you and I appreciate you very much. I have a question, can I connect a DC CDI directly to a 12 battery to power it? Like a jump box? Or would that burn it out? Thank you so much for any advice.
Thanks a million for the hack Harvey! Got my atc 110 out of the shed after 13 years after I made "the box", lots of cleaning etc and she smokes a little but starts easy, had my 1985 atc125m crap out the other day, Am I missing something on the 6 pin round setup? I can get it to fire using the portable CDI but it wont stay running, it will idle for about 20 seconds if I dont gas it. All I want to do is covert to use box setup, dont care about starter/headlights. ran fine but lost spark suddenly, cdi springs all gone, robbed a set from a parts machine and now same result, getting 90 ohms off the signal wire.
U should make some of them portable ignition systems and sell them..id buy 1 just to have
I need one of you so bad my quality running because I can't find a CDI box in San Antonio living
What do you do with the green wire if you put on a switch withought the light
Very nice Harvey was waiting for this video
Hey 1970chevy!!! I have been wanting to put this video together for years, it is finally done!!! Now, I hope it keeps some vintage ATVs alive a little longer!!! Thanks for Ur thoughts, encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!
Harvey. I have a gy6 125 and Every thing is new. Wire harness electronics and carb. I'm not getting any spark. Any ideas
Will this work on 2wire pick? yamaha uses 2 wire pickup
Thumbs up for this nice video.
Hey James!!!! I just hopes this video keeps some vintage ATVs alive a little longer! Thanks for Ur thoughts, encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!
Harvey,
GOOD job, Harvey. You told them were to go, and how to get there. LOL Great video my brother.
GOOD TIMES!!!
Hey Bro!!! I just hope that this video helps keeps some vintage ATVs out of the scrap pile!!! Thanks for Ur encouragement, kind words, watching, and commenting!!!

This was very informative. A real life saver
Harvey would it work on suzuki king quad 1988 300 2x4
Oh here,,, have ya come back n watch later
Hi do u do one for the 2 plug cdi please
Hello,I was just wondering if you have ever heard of there being a resistor in a 150GY6 buggy system and it goes at the end of the ground wire from the stator?
hello @Harvey Spooner Glad to see all of your videos thank you for sharing all of your info to the world. How can I tell which cdi system I have it appears I have a 2013-16 taotao ATA150G ATV my cdi has 6 pin-outs im not sure if it is ac or dc and the pin-outs for it.
I believe that atv uses a DC cdi but a good way to tell is this: If it only has a kick/pull start and no headlights/brake lights and therefore no battery, it is definitely an AC CDI. If it is electric start, has headlights, and has a battery, it is going to be a DC system. I recommend rebuilding the ignition system entirely so you are aware of what is going on, but that's just me.
Would this work for 09 Yamaha Kodiak 450?
cool... very handy tool
Hey Bob, This portable CDI has saved me so much time in troubleshooting and fixing ATVs.... Thanks for Ur thoughts, encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!
I hope u feel better my boy and ur videos has taught me a lot that I needed to know. U da man lol thanks for ur vids
That's awesome
Hey Kevin, See U in a few hours!!! I hope this videos helps keep come vintage ATVs off the scrap pile!!! Thanks for Ur thoughts, encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!
@@HarveySpooner thank you I can't wait to meet you great videos keep up the good work
Where can I get a diegram for wiring on a 1995 mule
And 3rd ..question c ...lol.....can you make a lawnmower work with your box ? If you can your a god in my eyes ....I love this idea ..watched all your videos l!
Iv got a question about DC cdi units. What about the 5 pin style DC units like in the pre 97 bayou300 and Chinese scooters. How do they work with the extra wire?
Extra wire is just for a kill switch
I want to change my lawnmower / mini bike engine over to battery powered cdi ignition system ...I currently have a magneto style coil and magnet on flywheel setup ...if I swap out the magneto and wire In A hall sensor ..can I use this system ? How would I set my timing and ignition curve ...hmmmm...don't know if possible but msd sells a dingos cylinder ignition system for like 350$ fu#%ing hell ....can you figure out a way to help me ! Thanks Harvey
Thanks so much Spoonman ✌✌✌
Hey Jason Smith, I hope this video keeps some vintage ATVs running a bit longer!!!! Thanks for Ur thoughts, encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!
Same here Spoonman✌✌✌
great video
Hey Michael, I hope it helps keep some old machines out of the scrap yard.... Thanks for Ur encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!
will this work on a yamaha g2 motor
I wonder if this could work on my Yamaha Warrior? Can any help? It more complicated on mine but it just needs spark.........
Hey Sunny, I would try it, for $20 you may just get Ur warrior running.... I do recommend getting a spare 4 pin, DC powered CDI, sometimes the quality of stuff out of china is shaky!!!! Thanks for asking, watching, and commenting!!!
@@HarveySpooner thanks for the response love the channel! I will let you know if it works! So others will know....
@@HarveySpooner On my Yamaha Warrior I have 2 wires on the coil pick up, one red and one brown, I believe that the red one is the trigger, do you Know if the brown is ground? Simalar coils have a blue and a green wire, so I'm thinking the brown ground?
@@HarveySpooner I just rewatched your video and it answered my question...
Sunny Ray did it work???
not many radio shacks left, thought they all closed, e have one 30 miles from here still
Radio shack is no longer open. You are correct.
I think they closed the last stores in 2016 or 2017. And for a few years before that most stores had closed.
Edit.
Just remembered. Some store owners remain open. But they are not radio shack. The cooperate radio shack closed up due to bankruptcy.
The few store still open are not connected. The owners are independent and order from thier personal connections.
It's too bad they closed. But to remain open at any business you must turn a profit.
And very few people today make things. People always give me sour looks for making something. ( it pissed me off)
so the 6 pin 2 connector is AC ?? I have one with 4 in one and 2 in the other ..
Hey Shawn, the 6 pin / 2 connector CDI comes in both AC and DC versions.... It seems that the 4 pin square version maybe the only guaranteed DC version, any other connectors can be AC or DC.... Thanks for asking, watching, and commenting!!!
great vids!! quick question would this work on a 2002 polaris sportman 500 ho?
I've used this setup on several different quads, most recently a 1993 Yamaha Timberwolf and it works wonderfully. All you need to make sure you have in order to use this setup is a pulse generator on your flywheel/flywheel cover. Hook your cdi to that and you should get spark at the proper intervals. Good luck!
Hi Harvey, great videos, I have a 400honda foreman trx wondering would this work, 300plus cc .not caring about any thing but cranking.
Worked for my Honda's
Do you have anything on Suzuki dr250 dirt model. I can't get it to fire because I'm not sure what wires go were from the stator
hes all over the place kinda good video but its not easy to understand no steps pulse generator now i bought all the stuff and i dont have that and what wires r power to the battery
Hey harvey, finally finally u made the dream video.... However!...i purchased my battery packs and found that the wires were extremely poor and vastly smaller in thickness then the stock pitbike wiring, ??? is this gonna cause an issue or do u have anyways of converting them to the more traditional wire diameter...other then that , Well done champ. All 50 videos wrapped up into one 7inch box.
So is the fat cdi use if the stator is bad
Hello Harvey. Can you do a video on how to hack a 2 stroke cdi system? I have a collection of 50cc Polaris predators and eton vipers that I would like to perform your hack on. Thanks
Could i set this system up for permanent use? I am swapping a Honda engine into an old golf cart and would like to keep most of the wiring a simple as i can. Since the quad is already missing a lot of Wires of off it?
very late reply but I used this setup as a permanent fix, just use a 12v atv battery instead of AA's and make sure to hook it up to the regulator in order to charge it. If you have any questions, email me please. I have a very good understanding of ignition systems now. matthew.middleton03@gmail.com
Will work on 350D foreman atv??
Hey Jeremy Rink! Yes it will.... Thanks for asking, watching, and commenting!!!
Great videos, appreciate them . Does this work on dirtbikes ?
Can u show one for the gy6 motor please as need one asap please
hey harvey could you send me a wiring diagram for one with the battery pack, and one without the battery pack . i would like to build one of each. i would greatly appriciate it/
Also y r u using the other cdi box not the one that comes with the set?
The one that comes with the set is an AC CDI, one that requires power from the stator. Harvey is trying to set it up to run off of ~12v DC power, therefore he needs to use a DC configured CDI
Any chance uve built a multi spark cdi for more then one cylinder
I believe you could either use two CDI's or just connect both pulse generators to the same CDI. I have never done it though so just take that flywheel off and look at what you're working with
Will this cdi box work on a 250cc?
Hey Joshua!!! This works on all 4 strokes with a pulse generator.... I have a lot of experience using it on Honda and China stuff... Thanks for asking, watching, and commenting!!!!
The pick up coil on quads etc rarely fails. so you can easily wire in a Chinese CDi unit, whether it's an AC system or an DC, I have done it many times, recently on a Honda TRX400. not sure I see the reason for the battery powered system you have made ? Why not use your system but wire it to the quads own battery ? it obviously needs to be wired to the trigger coil.
this is made for testing many quads, not meant to be a permanent fix for one machine. You can easily apply the concepts from this video to make a permanent fix though, you are correct about that.
I GET A SPARK BUT IT GOES AWAY CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHERE THE WIRES GO? AND WHERE CAN I BUY THAT GENERATOR THIS VIDEO MAKES ME NEVER DO A DIY AGAIN!
Hey Jmon! Using this 12VDC cdi U get a few sparks and it goes away? Ur batteries are good and U have a solid ground connection between the battery - , the engine case, the coil, and the harness??? Thanks for asking, watching, and commenting!!!
@@HarveySpooner i followed everything i ordered all the parts but at the end u hooked up something a red and green wire do i need that to keep the spark going where does that wire go to a positive wire what color is it or to the switch ? can i use the red switch i need spark to stay on i think>?
Is it the same concept for a 6 pin cdi
Yes except you're going to need to provide AC power from your stator instead of the ~12v DC power from your battery/regulator
How high of a cc motor will this work with??
This should work on all single-cylinder engines, once you have more than one cylinder, that's where you'll have to start figuring stuff out(probably just another cdi for each cylinder though)
Hey put a solar powered number plate on the front to keep it charged! Eh?
SO!
Why can't you connect the blue wire and the black/ yellow wire?
This eliminates the CDI out of the system.
Giving the coil the pulsing electric. ( like a distributor, points or magneto would)
Please tell me what's wrong with this and why it won't work.
Please, If I'm wrong tell me why.
...
Bikes didn't always have a CDI. That is some new garbage by some damn nerd put on these bikes to give you a headache..
I bought all this crap to build one of these to post as a video response to your last video on this... I just never invested the time into actually doing it. haha
Hey Krankie!!! The boxes are not hard to build, building them in such a way that it makes sense on video is where the work and thought process was!!! Thanks for the info, thoughts, watching, and commenting!!!
How much to make me one? :0)
Hey CaptHwdy08!!! It took me over 3 years to build this second one, God knows how long it would take to get a 3rd one out of me.... Thanks for asking, watching, and commenting!!!
@@HarveySpooner is the wireing the same for a GY6 150cc engine with the build in transmission? If you could do a wire diagram on how to wire it up?
Is it just me thinking that ppl can pinch ya bike with this 🤔🤣🤣
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hey Max!!! U R too kind!!! Thanks for Ur encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!
I would recommend a real 12 volt battery not double AA batteries buy a cheap 12 volt scooter battery
If you got a dollar for every time you have had to explain this you would be rich....(◣_◢)
Hey Stoney!!!! How is life by U? It has been awhile! I figured that if I built one, step by step, folks would understand all of it.... Thanks for Ur thoughts, watching, and commenting!!!
