Extending the wire length from my motor.

Not that i know of. I know they give off 10s of thousands of volts of air gap jumping electricity though lol.

That may just encourage me to ride more. And faster.

I personally would locate the CDI farther away from my twig and berries but that's just me lol.

Twig and berries to you, but log and rocks to me.

Thanks much HumanPerson!

Any chance you know the gauge of the wire from an engine, and the gauge of wire used on a kit throttle?

From engine: 16 gauge if i recall correctly.

The throttle wires i'm not sure about though.

I measured the throttle wire with calibers and came up with 0.73 mm. According to a chart I saw online that makes them 21 gauge. Does that
sound right to you?

Will this work? Some of the wire is "clad aluminum." Does that matter? I'm not sure what to buy. I only need a few feet in total. Ebay seems to be the only place where I can buy small amounts.

There is no issue with using a bigger wire gauge or going from aluminum or clad to copper.

Its like a highway. With the exact same wire size, you have enough lanes to where traffic isn't slowed down, and if you go bigger, there's just extra lanes.

They just use small wires to save money and so they're more flexible, compact, and lighter.

the wire I use is RC car wire

So it's like wire, but it costs more lol.
