[QUOTE="allenp42, post: 185656, member: 8785"] OLDCT is correct. Now there are several sellers on e-Bay selling the kits, all made of parts from the same supplier. But as I understand, it's up each "seller" to support the kits they sell. I am familiar with 2 of the sellers on e-Bay. I have tested both the Hitachi and Mitsubishi versions. The wiring was too short on both and it took a little experimenting on the Mitsu version to get the lighting/charging coil to work correctly. Ignition/spark was fine. I also made it clear that it was going on a US CT70, needed longer wiring with a 4 pin plug but received the same kit supplied to everyone else. I have the Mitsu version on my HK0, but other than verify it will run and the lights work, that's it. Will be another month or 2 before I give it a workout. On the Hitachi CDI unit I tested, it worked out of the gate on a K0 and HK0. However, I did have to use my wire stretcher on the harness. To Gary's point, I think I just found the cause for my recent issue. As I stated, I normally use CRC Electrical Contact cleaner. Encountered the problem again today and I decided to give Brakeleen a try on a new set of aftermarket points as my first step. It worked. No sanding. I suspect that whatever the protection lube used on AFT points I have, CRC will not remove it. I agree that sanding on new points should not be necessary and may leave some residue, which is why I clean them again after sanding. I have never had a problem with OEM Honda points, and until recently, minimal problem with aftermarket points. [/QUOTE]
