Possible replacement CDI for Sierra?!
Hy fellow riders!
Maybe im wrong and maybe this could work. Could these two CDI-s be compatible?! First one is for Lifan 150cc pit bike.Its a 4 stroke horizontal oil cooled engine.Wiring diagram is for Lifan CDI. Here is wiring diagram for Zong Sierras CDI - 200cc,4 stroke,air cooled engine. Sockets (harness) is the same.Ignore the titles for wire colors. I read somewhere on the forum that CDi costs aprox 25$ in USA. Here in Croatia the price is 105$! 8O Well i need a spare one and i cant find any of them for Zong on ebay(and dont wanna spend 100$ in Croatia for the same thing )... So if this could work ill buy one from ebay (20$),change wire positions in the Zongs socket (harness?) to match Lifans CDI pins and test it.What do you think? :? Greetings! |

Azriel,
If you have time, will you please post the links for the websites where you obtained the two wiring diagrams? I am especially interested in the Lifan, 150cc, pit bike wiring diagram. Thank you. Spud

I downloaded Lifans 150cc diagram from -www.monkeybiker.net- forums in this format. So,the lifans diagram (first picture) is originaly from monkeybikers forum. Then just changed the color and position of wires on CDIs socket in paint to have one for Zong. Of course, i used Zongs service manual downloaded from this forum to determinate color of wires going to CDI and looked on Zongs CDI socket to ensure theirs position. So,Zongs diagram (second picture) is original Lifans diagram modifyed in paint to show how Zongs CDI is conected. :? Now im confused! These days i will order one CDI for Lifan from ebay and try to connect it on Zong. If it works ill post which wire needs to be put in which position on the socket. |

1. Go to www.monkeybiker.net 2. Navigate to the forums by clicking the appropriate link at the lower left side of the main web page. 3. Go to the Monkeybike forum cluster. 4. Go to the Electric Forum. 5. Read the post "Koppla Lifan 150cc...." The last post in this thread was made by forum member Vector, posted on July 21, 2010. You can also find the Lifan, 150 wiring diagram at the following threads. http://planetminis.com/f21/lifan-150...ide-82554.html http://www.tboltusa.com/Tech_Data/in...-daytona-style I think the Lifan CDI unit will work. You can buy the Lifan, 150 CDI units from a number of different vendors, for reasonable prices. http://www.pccmotor.com/new-cdi-box-...-oem15007.html http://www.tboltusa.com/store/lifan-...efaccf75bc3674 You can also purchase the Lifan, 150cc CDI units on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-C...item56422d7e1f Spud

I wouldn't be surprised if someone is also selling a "performance CDI" for the Lifan, 150cc pit bikes.

I might be wrong, but I believe the Pitster Pro, LXR pit bikes might also employ the Lifan, 150cc engine. http://www.thumpertalk.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=765136 http://www.pitsterpro.com/bikes/list/cat/4 Pitster Pro keeps a nice inventory of pit bike parts in its Lindon, Utah warehouse. If the Pitster Pro, LXR bikes employ the Lifan, 150cc CDI unit, Zongshen owners can probably get CDI units from Pitster Pro. Also, Pitster Pro might market "performance CDI" units for their LXR pit bikes. Spud
