Hi Atic's
I've got a problem with the engine of my @: the front cylinder won't
ignite! At least that is what it looks like.
Symtoms: Bad behaviour while starting, no rpm shown at the meter.
After a while it will start but then run for a while with "hickups".
I experienced that before (1 1/2 year ago), and my mechanic replaced
the CDI-unit and problem solved, but it sounds unlikely to me that it is
the CDI again after only 15,000 km.
What I have in mind to do is to interchange the CDI's from back to front
and vice versa and replace the spark plugs.
By the way might it be a good idea to let the carburetors syncroniced?
regards

Hi, surely you have to try to "switch" then CDI units so you can see if the
problem is there and I think that it is there!
I think that the problem might be in the connector of the CDI and not in the
CDI itself because the good old RD03 (I have an RD03 too) have the seat too
low and with the passengers it can touch an break the connector.
So, if the problem is this, look around in www.xrv-atic.org and search how to
repair the CDI's connector, more info are in www.geocities.com/colosseum/1741,
this is a site about the Transalp where you can find other material.
Hoping that this can help, tell me if it works!
