    thank you that is exactly what i have right now . my cdi electronics stator instruction says in a little box on top of the diagram that the new stator design allows for "all blue and yellow wires to be hooked up together" i didn't install that way because i wasnt sure, should i try it that way ?

    disconnecting the yellow wire to the stator on the second cdi allowed 1,2 to fire nicely. im bummed now im guessing i needed two cdis instead of one . is there a way to make the one good side of the rear cdi to work i know its capable of firing at least one coil if in the first cdi position

    im using the bulb type spark tester so there is no way to set a gap but the good cylinder is super strong and im sure would test in spec where as the 1 and 3 cylinder would definitely not jump much of any gap ,it barely illuminates the light in the bulb. i have to stare at it closely to see a...

    So i decided to pull the powerhead off....

    my thinking is that it didnt have any piston slap and ran ok when it was loose with the stuck rings it should be fine with new pistons and rings going in a freshly honed cylinder but i also know very little about how much is too much and we are splitting hairs with these clearances
