Dear friend,

Thank you for yet another superbly written, thought-provoking post. I must admit, I am largely ignorant of my bike’s electrical system and CDI unit. However, I am eager to learn. I do not wish to hijack your thread; however, I am very curious. Can you please help me with a few questions. :?:

Below is a picture of the rotor on my Zonshen Sierra 200GY-2. If you look closely, I hope your can detect the two faint marks inside the yellow circle. I assume that the rectangular mark on the left is the advance timing/firing mark, and the straight line is the TDC mark. In this photograph the Zong’s pickup coil is also shown inside the orange circle.




The next photo shows the timing strip on the rotor. For the sake of reference, the advance timing/firing mark is once again shown inside the yellow circle in this photograph.




The next photograph shows the stator and pickup coil mounted inside the Zong’s left crankcase cover.




The last photograph shows my Zongshen’s CDI unit.




In the link below, please reference the electrical system diagram on page 132 of the Zongshen service manual you so graciously posted. It appears that my Zongshen CDI employs seven wires.

I assume that my Zongshen’s CDI unit is incompatible with the typical CDI units found on other Chinabikes; am I correct? Once again, thank you for yet another superbly written, though-provoking post.
