Reverse-engineering the Chinese CDI

There have already been discussions on building a superior CDI, but what about the stock Chinese CDI?  While it's rather poor design to begin with, the simplicity and semi-decent functionality make it an attractive electronics project.  I don't think that nearly enough is known about the stock CDI, so I think it's great that this topic has come into discussion.


Rohmell on motorbicycling.com(the same Rohmell who made custom CDIs) created a thread about learning more about the stock CDI and possibly building a new one.
