    UPDATE:
    Well, no luck... Even after re-soldering the dry joints, the problem still came back. I've found a used ECU on eBay for 90 dollars including shipping from the States, so have bought that.

    Spokes, please thank Mike for trying. He still deserves a beer!

    UPDATE

    Got the ECU from the States and plugged it in, and... the bike wouldn't start. Lights come on but it acts as if the kill switch were on.

    So no joy... again.

    I'm surprised it wouldn't start TBH.
    Is it meant to get a signal other than 12v at the cdi unit? (Kawashitty bikes of the era did this, so why not Yamahahahahehe?) If so could be worth checking the resistor.

    Or they sent you a fucked unit.
    I'll give you my Mazda 626 for it

    edit: did you end up doing the tank sealing kit? Well worth your trouble if you haven't. To do an even moar betterer job, do some electrolytic rust removal before sealing the tank (google is your buddy, it's super simple)

    Me too... Even the old unit started, just that it will randomly die off.

    Yeah, will have to look at that.

    Q: Resistor = rectifier?

    A possibility indeed...

    I'm not convinced it's the tank. Inside of tank and the tap is just too clean to be it...
