DT30 Runs Backwards part 2

[ida71]

Hi All,<br /><br />Following on from my previous post about this engine that runs backwards, does anyone know if the CDi for the 25 & 30 is the same ? The guy that supplied the replacement CDi seems to thinks so.<br /><br />I have pulled the flywheel & checked the ignition pick up coil & this is locked in place & the flywheel was on its woodruff key correctly. I released the timing plate travel stops & retarded the ignition as far as possible & it still starts in reverse, but a lot easier ! I suspect that this is because the spark is going off closer to TDC when there is more compression.<br /><br />We are waiting for another replacement CDi, but I thought I'd ask the masters if the CDi's are HP/Model specific ? They don't appear to have a part number, so it's hard to tell because they all look the same.<br /><br />Any feedback would be appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />Chris W.

Did you try switching the spark plug leads, Chris?

Hi JB,<br /><br />Yeah I tried that & there was no effect, it didnt even try to start, no smoke & no other sign of ignition. Nothing had been changed since the engine last run, except the CDi. This was changed as the previous owner had reverse polarity connected the battery & there was no spark from the CDi after that.<br /><br />I checked out another post & had a look at a site that has Suzuki fiche online. It appears there are 2 different CDi's for these engines based on model, but as the CDi's have no part numbers on them, its hard to tell the difference !<br /><br />Chris W.
