Minarelli V1 CDI conversion?
Long story short I yoinked the ignition cable out of the coil because I didn't know they were attached (oops). What I am wondering is if it would be a better idea to convert it to CDI or to get a replacement coil. What advantages does a CDI have vs stock ignition, and how do I go about converting it?
Help would be much appreciated, thank you!

The advantages of a cdi ignition are getting rid of points and the potential for running a box with an ignition curve, meaning that the timing will retard at high rpms which will lower temperatures and potentially save your cylinder from a sieze. There is no "conversion", you would simply replace the entire ignition, I.e. the stator, magneto, coil. Edit: I lied, treats does have a cdi stator coil that you just swap out and keep the stock flywheel and coil.
So if I'm looking into any performance modding, I'm probably going to want one I assume? Thank you for the information
For the price, I would do it just to get the ancient ignition system out, but it isn't that big of a deal until you are running a pretty potent kit, pipe, carb setup.
Yeah it seems like it's more reliable choice, as it's 30 years old now. Thanks
