Well there is no point in not telling the truth. I didn't know the CDI I had ordered was a DC unit when I needed an AC. Having misplaced the old unit I didn't realize the DC was much larger.

I learned the hard way that some retailers do not make things clear on what they are selling.

So for all those reading and learning, the DC unit is pin for pin identical but it is much larger.

There are two kinds of Capacitor Discharge Ignition (CDI) units with the most common being an AC alternating current version but some use a Direct Current type (DC)

So my mistake was to buy the wrong one. Be careful what unit you buy because there are several types from what I see.

On the Carb then. I take it I shouldn't fear cleaning it. I saw a video on taking one apart so I hope that will be a good guide.

My problem there is it won't idle until warm now. Also the RPM's are not looking right for idle now it's lower than when new. Would this mean I should clean or adjust the idle?
