I have had CDI issues as well with my US '89 XT , I have a spare cdi here but haven't tested it, my bike ran on it. I have an original factory manual, I will never buy a Clymer or Haynes because of the exact reasons (and a few more). Our US stators and pickups are different than the rest of the world I think, I've never seen one that looks like ours and have no idea where to get an actual new one that works. There may be one but nobody has been able to say for sure. You can't return electronics so you'd be out $$$$.
I would like to have an adjustable cdi for it.
My bike would sometimes run fine then suddenly spitter/pop and die. Then it almost broke my ankle due to backfiring.
Right now I have the smallest jets I can find, dropped the needles as far as possible and have the mixture screw turned in tight, plus the nipple on the left intake boot is open to let in air,and it still is running rich(black sooty sparkplug and black carbon in the exhaust. I have rebuilt and cleaned everything 4 or 5 times now, won't lean out.
