Hi All,
My Boygofast HT 80cc lost its spark. After trying everything I decided to try and take the CDI apart. Not a good idea because I just broke it into pieces without really figuring out the circuitry. I know I am going to have get a new CDI, that's a fact. I am also going to get a new magneto as well to be safe. It sounds like I am not the first to have problems with the CDI and magneto. Because of this, there has to be a way to build/rebuild the CDI & magneto to make it more robust and reliable. Any thoughts out there??

I found this link describing the building of a CDI. The info makes my head hurt but at least it's a start to figuring out this CDI. I Like this HT 80cc but the reliability is hit and miss. Admittantly I drove the snot out of it before the CDI/Magneto crapped out on Me. I went on a 100 KM/60 mile 5 hour tour riding. The last hour of riding, I rode it at 50km per hour (about 30 mph) to get home in a hurry. Not a good idea, because the next day it wouldn't start. I killed it!!!
The weak points I see is the CDI/Magneto and the Clutch. Firstly I would like to figure this CDI out. Secondly, I would like to maybe retrofit the clutch with maybe a centrifugal clutch from the farm surplus store. These clutches are pricey (50 - 75 bucks).
Any help is most appreciated
