well i have 2 lifan engines one 48cc and the other 86cc

the 48cc had a CDI with 4 wires and wired to work off the rectifier while the 86cc was bought new and had a five wire CDI that can be wired to run with no rectifier or battery

well I broke the crankcase on the 86cc motor so i had to reinstall the 48cc so i decided i will use the five wire CDI on the older motor and it works but i had to use the little coil off the newer motor as the other coil is big and wouldnt do hi revs till the little coil was used

both motors are horizontal motors that dont rev as high as the vertical motors that have a six wire CDI that does more revs than the horizontal motor

I may be getting cheap an XL250 bike thats could respond well to a new 6 wire CDI

I figured things out for myself and it was simple but time consuming. Lifan wiring code is the same as hondas too

I reckon it will work
