Interesting to hear people's thoughts as well.

this is the one they list for the yamaha 701.

ALSO AVAILABLE REPLACEMENT FOR OEM IGNITER TYPE

CDI IGNITION FOR OLDER SKIS/BOATS

Pls note : the programmable will not benefit anything to older motor w/ igniter type CDI,

unless the flywheel and pick-up is replaced w/ the adjustable type. This include FX1,SJ,580-720 [Non-RV] Seadoos,etc

P/N : BRT-STD-101

$75 [SINGLE REV LIMIT]

$95 [ADJUSTABLE REV LIMIT]

S&H is FREE FOR THIS UNIT

 

[FLY6584]

so will that $95 unit work? if so that sounds like a great deal.

 

[tom21]

sorry never mind I see now. one is programmable and the other is adjustable rev limit. I'm straight now.

There is a really big thread on PWCT about that unit, looks like it would be a good unit. I will see if I can dig up the thread...

 

[Watty]

Even if it doesn't work, good on them for having a crack. When it comes to Superjets, we really don't have that many options...I'd give it a crack I reckon.

I don't know why it would be good for the SJ. It isn't programmable. IMHO, if it isn't programmable, might as well stick with a modified stocker. :dunno:

I can see it on a Seadoo because it does away with DESS and thats a good thing,I will have to try on on my XP 800 .I think you are right ,theres no benefit on an SJ.

 

[douglee25]

I'm confused if the programmable one can be used with the SJ or not. I asked him in the PWC thread. Here's the link over there.

The answer seems to be "NO".

 

[douglee25]

The answer seems to be "NO".

I thought the answer appears to be 'yes'. I think one unit he supplies has the adjustable curve that the user can enter, while the other unit has curves adjusted by simply dropping in a chip.

No?

I didn't see that. Yes, it seems so then. I am not sure what he's talking about with the non-curve CDI's. That would imply straight timing from bottom to top.
Anyhow, it's of no concern to a Superjet engine.
Seems like a good deal. Would love to read a time-test review in a few months.
Looks like it would fit in a SJ electrical box, too. Which is great.

But then again, he lists something that mouthfulloflake posted above not being a benefit to the SJ. I'm still confused. lol I'll see if I can get some answers shortly.

It almost reads as if you CAN use it on a 701 with a different flywheel and pickup?

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

the non programable CDI doesnt seem to have ANY timing curve, just the tming dictated by the flywheel to pick up relationship.

IE, worse than the stock timng curve.

am I reading this correctly?

the programmable unit looks to be a good unit, comparable to the MSD total loss, im not sure from what he has said thus far if it will work with stock flywheel and pickup though.

 

[douglee25]

I think you are right Mouth. This is from his ebay question log...

"Q: can you send info on what you have aval for 95 yamaha 701 engines . jnr7001@comcast.net Apr-03-07

A: 61x and 62t motor w/ 701cc cap utilizes simple igniter type cdi ignition w/ mechanical timing [preset]. unless you're upgrading to a total loss system w/ dwell magnet flywheel, you can only use the P/N:BRT-STD-101 [last pic]. the programmable or the masterchip has no benefits whatsoever on stock flywheel skis."

Non-programmable straight timing would be a horrible idea. HORRIBLE I tell you.

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

I would think so too, but thats what it sounds like for the cheaper CDI unit he is selling.
