i figure i'll get a single cylinder engine running with CDI first, then go for a twin cylinder conversion.

so no interest at all so far? i don't want people to place orders here, i'm just feeling this project out. i have enough parts to do my 2 engines, but have the opportunity to get a bulk discount. if you are interested in perhaps doing this within the next year, please let me know. if theres no interest i won't get the ball rolling. if there is interest i will get the ball rolling. i'm thinking this would be a good winter upgrade for most lazairheads while their birds are tucked away and engines can be worked on.

so after a couple of weeks i have received ZERO interest in this project... this surprises me immensely! I guess i will put it on the back burner for now. I am still working on getting a quote for the "low tension coil" that mounts to the stator plate from Ducati that they supply to wildfire, to see if its cheaper to buy than to re-hand-wind. with the price they're offering for the CDI module I expect them to charge about $20 for this coil!
with this low tension coil, the CDI module, and a re-drilled stator plate, you can convert your 185 to CDI WAY cheaper than with the wildfire kit. of course i still have to actually do it and get one running, but it'll happen

[COLOR=red]Hey Tyler,
I sent a couple private e-mails to you through the e-mail button on this site over the last week or two. I assume you didn't get them. Maybe I'm not the only person that thought they had left you a private message about the kits that didn't get through to you.
I AM VERY INTERESTED in the CDI conversion for the 185's! I will commit to AT LEAST 4 kits right now, and I'll advance you some funds, just let me know how much (give me an address where Paypal will work for you, or I can send you a check). Let me know what you need.
Please don't give up on the project!!! If you would like me to mount up a beta kit to test, I would be happy to do that. I need to get a couple of my engines out and running soon anyway. I haven't sucked in some great smelling 2 stroke exhaust for a while, and need a fix.

okay! i guess i can't receive email through this website, and i've checked my spam bin at home too... glad to hear someone has interest
So thats 4, need another 46
thats only 23 lazairs, so i'll keep plugging away on this. if ducati can give me a good deal on the coil then this conversion is a no brainer - same parts from wildfire for a fraction of the price. the only variable will be to prove that rotating the stator plate does the same thing as installing a flywheel with the magnets rotated - intuitively its exactly the same thing!
Stay tuned,
Tyler

Guy's you don't need to wait for a 50pack! I'll get some if you want and send one over for approval/testing if you are reasonable about the time.
Is 30 days enough time to-
1. Visually inspect for quality.
2. Mount the coil (no need to rotate the stator plate).
3. Inspect the timing.
4. Report to lazair.com
Anyone willing to commit to 4 ignitions can have these terms.
