Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this CDI unit fits my Tohatsu or Nissan outboard?
A: Cross-reference your engine model and year with the compatibility table above. You can also compare the OEM part number stamped on your existing CDI unit with the numbers listed (3B2-06060-0, 3B2-06060-1, 3B2-06170-0, 32900-98101).
Q: What are the symptoms of a failing CDI unit?
A: Common signs include hard starting, intermittent spark, misfiring at higher RPMs, stalling, or complete failure to start. If you've ruled out spark plugs and ignition coils, the CDI is often the next component to inspect.
Q: Is this an OEM part or aftermarket replacement?
A: This listing is an aftermarket replacement part manufactured to OEM specifications using comparable-grade materials in an ISO9002-certified facility.
Q: How often should I replace the CDI unit?
A: CDI units typically last many years under normal conditions. Replace only when you experience ignition-related failures or if diagnostics confirm the unit is faulty.
Q: Can I install this myself, or do I need a mechanic?
A: Installation is straightforward for those with basic mechanical and electrical skills. However, professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with marine electrical systems.
