The part number on the CDI is DCI-ZL78-001
Sure seems like a DC CDI. Has anyone replaced their CDI units on the 6 speed Templar X?

Googling this part number returns Russian youtube videos on this CDI unit. Rubles

SYMPTOMS of my CDI failure (?)

This has gotten worse every time I drive it. First time it happened 5 minutes into a ride. Popping and cracking and loss of power, engine dies.

I thought this was a fueling issue, especially since it recovered and allowed me to drive another mile, then another mile, then another mile, until I was home.

I assumed a float bowl was the issue. NO Removed, cleaned, reinstalled. It runs perfect for a couple of minutes, and then the popping/cracking and stall. This is CDI.

Any recommendations on a replacement CD CDI?

Make sure your fuel cap is venting.....
