Wich spare parts sould I have?

Keep a spare coil, they are the most trouble prone part. Never had a CDI box fail, EVER! Any water getting on the coil will cause failure, so make sure the cover and where the wires go in the case are sealed. (RTV silicone works well)

I've never had a coil fail. a bit of epoxy will stop them from killing themselves. I have the opposite mentality regarding moisture control. you can either never let it in there in the first place (difficult to do without impacting serviceability) or you can let it in all it wants and just make sure it comes out quick. I choose the latter. a hole drilled in the top and bottom of the mag coil works wonders. if you actually pot the coil in epoxy, polyurethane, or even just wax longevity will be very good.

Thanks for the tip, butre. I know that the newer version coils have a zip tie on them (along with doing away with the infamous "white wire") and they are more reliable. I guess that vibrations are a problem, along with the wet.

It seems that with my kit, a skyhawk 66cc, the CDI and the coil are in the same box, with the wire and the plug.

Thank you for all of your reply! What I've buy for now is 2 wires, one for the clutch and the other for the trottle, a spare CDI (coil inside) and another carb. I also bough a dual brake leve, that seems so much convenient! I'm gonna buy some sparks plugs, I think the good one is NGK B5HS and B6HS. Hxowever, I have some NGK B8ES in my basement. Can it fit on these motors? Sorry but I don't know nothing about the numbers on these spark plugs!

Forget this stupis question, I just check it with the stock spark plug, and it's not the same thread lenght! It won't fit there...

Clutch cable? sprak plug? Wich one will die first?

Thank you and have a sefe ride!

Master chain links you can buy a set of 3 for 5 bucks mounting bolts...? Maybe I have a spare CDI bolted on my frame that is inconspicuious there is a Cuban Motorize bike store in Cuba.
