    Theres a cdi unit on your carb ??? :confused:cratch:

    i racked my brains on this one, only thing i can think of is your mistaking the electric choke for a cdi....

    ive got a manual choke carb on my Runner:

    I put the choke on for any cold starts, let it idle with the choke on for 30 secs or so, switch the choke off and keep the engine going by blipping the throttle until its warm enough to keep running on its own.

    Auto chokes are really convenient (on bikes or cars) but they are flawed, in that they always stay on too long, wasting petrol and causing bore wash, on a cold day the auto choke is still on slightly, 7 miles down the road (on my car), which is ridiculous really :glare:

    Nice mate, have you jetted your carb by 5%? also gl with the 70kit, if you have any problems can you post them and a resolvable answer? because i am too going to put a 70kit on my dna, and a sports exhaust, what exhaust have you gone for?

    cant go wrong wiht a yasuni pipe... wichever best matches your cylinder choice... check the 50 guide.. as for jets, i dont recomend jet sizes.. i get paid to setup bikes.... doing it over the net never works, takes twice as long and drives me crazy :)
