razor Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 just got a 2004 rev3 it started first time the night we picked it up, but the day after, it would not start, so i swapped a few bit off my freinds 04 and it seems it is the CDI. is it possible to get them fixed, or does somone have a spare one or know where i can get a used one, as they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy m Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Not got a Beta myself but I think this is a common problem with them. It has been mentioned on here a few times recently. I don't think the seller would have known though. Time to bite the bullet and pay the 130 as I doubt you can repair them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betabonkers Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 My mate had the same problem, you just got to get your hand in your pocket im afraid. as for the guy knowing........i doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpa3 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 If you have an 04 Rev3, there is a huge (dare I say 99.9%) chance that the stator or cdi will pack in. Then once you've changed it for a new one, there's the same chance it will go again..... mine did. It might be worth spending the extra and buying a full after market ignition system. Apparently, this gives a permanent cure. Try contacting a well known trials dealer in Stroud. I believe they may stock such an item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razor Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 i know the staters can pack in, but i had not heard that the CDI would a techno one fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieboy Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 My Techno was running fine at the last trial,washed it,cleaned and serviced it and put it in the shed for 2 weeks.Went to start it on a friday night to check everything was ok for a trial on the sunday and it refused to start.Had a spark but it was very weak.New stator and it started 2nd kick. I doubt if the guy you bought it from had any idea,they just go I believe,mine did. A stator from a 1999 Techno would fit,I imagine the CDI would as well,earlier Techno's were different. If in any doubt phone Lampkin's they are very helpful,especially at emptying your wallet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpa3 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 The CDi on the '04 is different from the '03 model, the 250 is also different from the 200, I know as I tried swapping the two when mine went. (Not sure if that was the first time or the second time it went though?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
