quote guzzi john:

Ok, even if the thing sparks when cranked I assume when running and revved the high speed coils could be dead(just cranking uses low ones right?) or the CDI simply poops out when warm. Not simply good or bad.

I wouldn’t get too concerned over the function of the CDI units. As I stated, the usual issue is bad insulators on the leads from the points. Otherwise, try it out and see. As I have said, I would not hesitate to own one of these motors. I do own two of the 1972 20hp motors.
