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

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

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 |

The folks at www.tbtrends.com can help you with that. Just paste the link of the Taobao item you want into a tbtrends order form, and they'll take care of you.
