I recently bought my son a Eton Viper Mini 50. The lady I bought it from said that it did not have a spark and her nephew told her that the CDI box was bad. So she ordered a after market one. The new CDI box has 5 wires coming from it. One orange wire, one black wire (both of these wires have a harness connector on the end and matches the same connector that connects into the ignition coil), one red w/black stripe, one red w/white stripe and one black w/white stripe. She did not have any paperwork to give me with the CDI box. I have no clue where these wire connect. I have included pictures of the CDI box as well as the wires that are near the CDI box that I "assume" plug into. Just not sure what one goes where as the colors do not match. Also included is a pic of two wires that run to the tether kill switch. I'm not even sure if those are right. Can anyone offer any assistance please. Me and my son would greatly appreciate it.
These are the 5 wires coming out of the CDI box These are the wires that she thought the cdi box wires plugged into These are the two wires that connect into the tether kill switch.
Ugh, good luck. Is the CDI OEM or aftermarket? Did you get the stock CDI that was "bad?" First thing I would look for is a service manual so you can figure out what is what. Next thing would be contact the CDI mfg or start trying to track down an OEM part if it is aftermarket. The vipers are somewhat popular amongst the racing community, so it may be helpful to search for those types of groups to ask as well.
