Fill in your profile and sign your name somewhere please

cdi is a better type of ignition, it makes the engine more reliable and easier to start

Joe they require your real name somewhere on your profile.

I have heard good things about Ricks C.D.I. for the Mac.

If you go search the old conference, you will find a good discussion about it.

In a nutshell, it proves to be well worth its price in easier starts and fewer engine outs.
