Yes. CDI (or coil) may be the problem. My Templar X runs really great, idles perfectly, strong power band...then all of a sudden dies with cracking and popping while I slow down in gear. If I pull the clutch, stalls instantly. But if I wait a minute or two, it will start again. This began about 15 starts ago. Seems like it got worse before I parked it for troubleshooting. I thought fueling, but I ordered a CDI after ruling out carb issue.

Last garage test, it seemed to have FIXED ITSELF! But I am sure it will do this again eventually. Yes. Sounds like an electrical thingy now!

Transient problems are the worst! Coil will be next...I am even thinking maybe a stator wiring (transient short/crossed wire), but CDI was my next in line culprit!

It is on the way.

EDIT: I found the problem... my air mixture screw was too far out (it is an airscrew on the OEM carb on the Templar X). I closed it up (less air) and it runs perfectly now).
