Kevcn Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 Hi Folks, I have a 2017 txt300. I'm trying to source a CDi unit (ET51100CT-CJD-1) and cannot source one anywhere. Gasgas are "waiting" for stock since last may! Is there an other options here or has anyone else in the same boat. I'm pretty sure that they are year/part no. sensitive as I have tested ones from different years and they don't run properly. it possible to repair. Any or all suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance, Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faussy Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) Not what you want to hear but these were known as hard to source 18 months ago. Your only hope may be to source a good 2nd hand one. A longshot could be to try allens used trials spares Edited April 12, 2023 by faussy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F5Dave Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) If you get desperate an Ignitech may be the solution send them an email. It would likely be a rewire and a DCCDIP2. you would have to find space for it and run a DC charging cct. This may sound difficult to the uninitiated but a pretty average auto sparky could manage it. My only concern is that you have to have enough power from the AC stator lighting coils. On an enduro bike this is no problem. Maybe road legal TXT kit means the stator could handle it. You'd fit a generic scooter or bigger dirtbike rectifier regulator and a 25v capacitor about 2200uf or larger to replicate the battery. This might be simpler model. https://www.ignitech.cz/en/vyrobky/dccdi/dccdi.htm Send them an email.

johnsandywhite Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Good luck with finding one/ We have had 6 CDI's in the last 14 months on a 2021 GG 125. We have tried everything to stop them breaking down or WHY they were failing. Even had to carry a spare in case it failed during a Championship round. Let's hope the 2022 is better or the Granddaughter is changing onto a different make for her competitions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have actually put it down to the wires and joints getting wet then sitting in a cold damp Van to and from a Trial. But it still cost us 6 x CDI's. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one was actually replaced by John Shirt under warranty after they went over it like a dose of salts. But they refused to have the bike back after the second one went down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine in my Gasser is 11 years old, my bikes live in rarely heated sheds and I do ride in the rain and snow. I have never had a CDI problem on any of my bikes in the last 30 years. I suspect something is cooking the cdi, not just moisture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevcn Posted September 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 Hi folks, just to close out on this. I ended up having to swap out the flywheel, stator coils and CDI from my 2017 to parts from 2020 to make it work. All good now, but expensive! Thanks.
