Canadianshee Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hello all. So far this forum has offered easy to find info and great susgesstion. I'm in process of full tear down and rebuild of a 2007 Banshee. Today electrical system was removed and inspected. Question I have and concerns from reading through post on BHQ. 1. Can someone indentify this CDI box. There is no name on it and only a few numbers and a pot with increament 1 through 9. I assume that these number represent different degree of timing? It has been set at 2 since I purchased the bike in the fall. Rode rest of summer, running great, start first kick and tons of power 1-4 would start to die off in 5 and sound hollow with no power in 6. The bike was not ported and had PCI small bore and was jetted really weird. So pipes and no porting were most likely the no power problem. Back to question. Can some one identify this cdi. From what I've read on BHQ these types of CDI are no good? Bike ran great mind you other then above stated. Would I be wise to purchase a new OEM CDI. I have a billet timing plate still in package. If I should go back to OEM what years will work or are they all the same. Shit I'm sorry for another question how does one tell if the OEM stater is still installed of aftermarket. Thanks again for any and all help Last photo on board global express 6000. Crusing at 978 mph ground speed. Elevation 54755 feet.

Thanks again for any and all help Not sure if the CDI is an old Dyna or not but could be. Definitely look for a 98^ CDI if you want to switch. The comment you made about the hollow sound in the higher gears is usually indicative of lean condition. Can you post pics of the stator for us to tell you what you got there as well?

Canadianshee Posted January 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Ok will take pictures tomorrow and post. Since I'm building this bike bake up replaceing what ever is needed. Would going back to a stock cdi be the better way to go. In not building a dragster am more concerned about reliability. From reading on here more agree that stock is best for long term. Just not sure if to leave it or not. But will post pics of stator in morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Well, I'd be hesitant to run something I wasn't sure exactley how much timing it was adding. An OEM unit will typically be more reliable and you can use a simple timing plate to add timing of you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 What's up with the air pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadianshee Posted January 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Air pic is of a test flight I was on, I test the safety systems of new model jets that company I work for works on. I don't fly them just have pilots push the limits and make sure all is good. Was beautiful seeing earth's curvature and seeing sun light in true form. Very bright white not the yellow to light orange we see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawa110 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 ^^^^^get hazard pay? Push the limits? What happens when the limits passed or the "safety" system not up to par? Back up safety system right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadianshee Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Lol yes hazard pay while in flight. Basicaly push the engines past their normal limits of angle of attack at full throttle. We flight at steep angle up till the engines flame out which is roughly 66000 feet. Then fall tail first back down to 52000 feet then swing nose around and down and do restart procedures. If all is good jet will go back for inspection then delivered to customer. If this don't go well we have enough time and altitude to glide back then start looking at repairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawa110 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 How many repair and go out vs how many pass the test first time? That's crazy but guess that's why man made parachutes(airplane testing not skydiving) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadianshee Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I've done 4 thus far with no major issues. I have not heard of any failures yet. The amount of ground testing and inspections is very thero. If anything looks funny or does not test correct there is no flight. Sound scary but is quite a lot of fun,once you get used to the stresses on your body and the different sounds as the fuelsolodge shrinks and expands and the negative g's suck.

Canadianshee Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Lol. Prob worst case would be complete loss of flight controls system and or a wing detachment. Most other hiccups can be dealt with. The other above mention would put a damper in my day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
