Hello.
I own a Kymco Super 8 dc and I'm having some real trouple finding a unlimited dc fired cdi that works. So I'm thinking about converting it to a ac.
I know I have to change the stator and possibly the rectifier and of cause a ac cdi.
Do I have to change anything els?
Any help will be most appriciated.

Do I need to change the rectifier? I'm not sure...

Any chance you can post a wiring diagram of your machine? And do you know what else is DC on it?

I looked up the diagrams you linked. Found a Super 8 125, Agility 50 with DC ignition and a Vitality 50 with AC ignition. One avenue may be to chase down parts for the Vitality 50, might be a good fit.
You would need a stator with a AC ignition power coil, wiring and a CDI.
The Agility DC ignition uses a short-to-ground kill circuit on the ignition switch so that should be good.

I have no idea what you got going on there. A typical CDI has nothing to do with lights and the auto-choke. I though maybe you were showing your RR but one of the wires is labeled as "pickup", usually used as the name for the ignition pulse trigger. Your gonna have to figure out what you've got there.

Here is a translation of the wires going to the cdi Top row from left to right, ( black with a yellow stripe) = Coil (black with a red stripe) = Controls the light, directly translated it says light box. (purple wire with a red stripe) = I dont know what its for, but its just a loop going down to its twin (right below), when one of them gets cut or removed, moves the rpm restriction from 7500 to 9000 rpms. (black with blue stripe) = ignition lock (green wire) = ground (green with a black stripe) automatic choke (purple wire with a red stripe) Loop (blue with a yellow stripe) Pickup

I translated the forum thread that had that pic and one guy said to disconnect the loop to unrestrict.. Also saw in the other google pics a Naraku unit; www.scootertronics.com/super8cdi.htmlI'd keep the DC CDI as there seems to be a good supply of unrestricted stuff out there,no need to "re invent the wheel!"

Hello thanks for looking into it. When cutting one of the purple wires, you only move the restriction from 7500 to 9000 rpm. I have already done this mod, you can tell its still restricted when going down hill at wot. Here is a link to a guy who also have cut the wire on the the standard cdi : www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ev8ChCLy28And here is the same guy with a fully unrestricted cdi : www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8HMz6dYAFYI hate restrictions I also have tried the naraku cdi from two different dealers none have worked. with the naraku cdi, the bike wont go past 10 mph before its starts to backfire and drops in speed.

Gotta be a way to crack this nut!What about leaving your stock CDI box installed and piggy backing a good DC CDI box to control the spark thru the 12volt,ground,pickup and coil..Pickup and coil get removed from stock unit and are transfered to new,splice the 12v ignition lock& ground between boxes..That oughta work!!
