It will either work or not. I do not think it can get damaged in a few minutes of test starting (or not starting!).


FYI- a 5 pin connector is not what I have seen. Most have a 4 pin connector and another 2 pin connector, sometimes can be one connector on the bike, but 6 pins total (not all necessarily are used).
Here's a link to what I ordered on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B4QVL4C6...roduct_details

Wired it up today using the same diagram I made and I get plenty of spark when cranking over either with the starter motor or kick lever

Still no start with carb spray though

Even when I spray it down into the cylinder, the best I get is a few flame pops out of the carb as if the timing is way off

Would connecting an AC CDI Box throw the spark timing off or will it simply not spark at all?

On a sidenote, the spark plug they sent was wrong (way too small)
