Send a pic of the wires coming out of the magneto cover mate, that will determine what way you go.

welcome young skywalker, even got it on the kitchen bench, hahahah. Mate that harness runs the same as the 140. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/IGNITION...orcycle_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35b445552f
as for the blue high performance cdi's they can be highly unreliable, but is worth a try, on my 160 race bike i just run the stocko cdi mentioned, they are reliable and i have only ever seen a handful fail, maybe run a cr7hix iridium plug, http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Spark-Pl...orcycle_Parts_Accessories&hash=item564d02fd60. As for high performance or other cdis for that magneto im not to sure mate, reliability is a big thing and i stick with what works, hope this helps mate, oh yeah the engine looks sik, its not a HO but it is a YX160 and is a brilliant candidate for all the V2 and big bore gear that the other boys go with, so it is still the ducks guts of 160 stocko motors lad, now its a pit pro xr 160 and a pitvan lol.

 

[needapitty]

sweet thanks for the help mick

yeah the missus didnt like the yx on the kitchen bench lol

and yeh ill have to change that to pit pro xr 160 but sadly the pitvan was sold aweek ago but got my self a hiace :action-smiley-033:

 

[rotn50]

Nooooo, not the toaster, but a hiace isnt as dangerous which is comforting, but less fun trying to squeeze a tonne out of it haha

 

[needapitty]

haha yeah mate i dont have to grip the wheel as much when i see a semi coming the other way in the hiace or have to hold it pinned @4500rpm to do a tonne but the little toaster was a heap of fun to own and i sure did make the most of owning it

ive got some good burnout vids of the little girl showing all her might to for memories

 

[rotn50]

i love burnouts, they uploaded ??

 

[needapitty]

i dont no how to upload vids mick lol me and the laptop dont get along all that well so i will get the missus to do it for me haha

 

[rotn50]

Joshy don't make it sound like you can't live without a woman lol. Just say I will get someone I know to help, don't specify gender, hahaha all good bro. I want vids but don't forget.

IF IT AIN'T BROKE, BREAK IT

How the hell am I supposed to keep up with ya now? The 160 was my only advantage

 

[needapitty]

haha cordogs my yx aint staying stock either me and the doc have some plans for it

 

[needapitty]

hey mick ive been looking at this cdi its says its for yx 140,150,160 what do you think mate

 

[sean01]

hey mick ive been looking at this cdi its says its for yx 140,150,160 what do you think mate

thats an inner rotor cdi..
most of the older yx's came with an irk standard...

as for wat cdi to run, use a standard black one for now then upgrade to a lifan ork..
all aftermarket standard type cdi's offer way too much advance and kick back...

 

[needapitty]

cheers seany have you's got any wiring harnesses down at the shop mate

 

[rotn50]

Sean is spot on mate, def just run the stocko CDI for now, have heard of boys on here trialling the Lifan 150 ork with adjustable timing, not sure of there successes but it is achievable

IF IT AIN'T BROKE, BREAK IT
