Help with 2006 zongshen storm 250cc gs
 

Bought a zongshen storm.. Put a battery in and away I rode

After 3 days was riding and the bike shut off.. Started again then got it home.. Replaced the spark plug, coil and lead then it rode fine for a few more days then did it again.. Bike started again after a hour so o rode it home, waited a day to try it and it started first go

Anyone have a idea what is wrong

CDI would be my guess. They're cheap, so buy a couple.

Living in Australia it's a bit harder to get hold of a cdi

Is the cdi known for working then not working

It does sound a CDI failure. Yes they are known to fail also.

will try and get my hands on a new one

if its not the cdi where should i look next

AC or DC CDi?

not sure lol

Humanbeing, is that CDI specific to the Yamaha / Zong 200? Is there a version for the CG200? Also the OHC Honda 200 clone? I tried to read the success story, but Google translate is not good enough.

This http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=3289740994 had English version. 1/3 of their customer is outside PRC. Simple written English is quite OK for that developer.

That developer's warning: some new model's pinout isn't as the "generic", you MUST know which wire = which function, otherwise ... http://www.motoyes.net/bbs/thread-534491-1-1.html

going by the picture of the plug you put up and using a test light while trying to start i get the following

1 - black/yellow - nothing
2 - green - nothing
3 - green - nothing
4 - blue/yellow - flashes
5 - empty
6 - white/black
7 - black/red - constant
8 - empty

I also suspect the CDI unit is failing. All of the Chinese CDI units are poorly manufactured. :roll: The CDI units usually exhibit intermittent failure for a few weeks before they die completely. ;) I suggest you order several spare CDI units from Taobao.
