msd enhancer repair?

[Storbeck]

I've had zero issues with multiple zeels. All -02t zeels I've never tried a 62t.

But...I would probably use a modded stock cdi if I was going for the maximum possible reliability. I would try to find one that isn't 30 years old.

rumor has it you can bake it in the oven. There is a thread on here somewhere about it. But I have never tried it.

Can't say this relevant to MSD modules

But I've done this to multiple things over the years. (Exposed PCB) Look up solder reflowing. It does actually work. Nerd stuff but I have the original graphics cards from my first gaming computer, shoved it in the toaster over with the casings and fans removed. Still probably works to this day.

Done various electronics over the years with a mixed bag of success. Handful of TV main boards. Will buy you some time if cold solder is your issue.

It's basically solder joints failing from heatcycles. Youre giving it a fresh reheat and set.... In theory.

I modded a buddy’s 62T cdi and then he didn’t touch the ski for over a year. When he finally started it, it was like it was hitting the rev limiter at 3000 rpm. Swapped another cdi in and ran fine again. So I’ve been wondering if the mod really is still reliable.

I run Zeel in all of my skis so I'm no help lol.

I recently modded a 61x cdi and it's been working fine.

What temps do you need to get them up too to reflow the solder?

It wasn't because you modded it. It's because it sat. I've had many that ran fine when put away years earlier and then the cdi goes out when you pull it out to use. Sitting makes them go bad. I got a cherry squarenose that I need to cdi since it sat for years
