If an EMP strong enough to take it out happened, my first worry would be concerning the power to my house and my computer.
Solar Flare might cause damage if it was hit directly......How high do you plan on driving....and how fast.

Not sure but I think it is solid state.....others may be able to answer, I have not found an answer for you so a thread in the 2 stroke forum might be a good place for you to start.

Ever read One Second After?

The ol' Edsel was the only thing running.

Thanks for the link to the first build.

Talked to a local guy - he has a new in the box Grubee Star Fire GT4 for $185 out the door.

I guess Walmart has a cruiser for under $100 too.

The CDI replaced the Points in an engine distributor. The point gap had to be set with a feeler gauge during tuneups or a dwell angle meter. I once caused a sizeable carburator fire in my buddies 455ci Buick because I set the point gap too wide.

Yes, the CDI unit is solid state, which makes it even more vulnerable to EMP than a component assembled device would be, typically.
