Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this CDI unit fits my engine?
A: Cross-reference your engine model and year with the compatibility table above. Additionally, verify that your original CDI unit matches one of the OEM part numbers listed (3B2-06060-0, 3B2-06170-0, or 3B2-06060-1).
Q: What are the signs that my CDI unit needs replacement?
A: Common symptoms include difficulty starting, inconsistent spark, engine misfires at high RPM, or complete loss of ignition. If other ignition components (spark plugs, coils) test normal, the CDI is often the culprit.
Q: How often should I replace the CDI ignition unit?
A: CDI units do not have a fixed replacement interval and typically last for years. Replace only when you experience ignition-related failures or diagnostic testing confirms the unit is faulty.
Q: Can I install this myself or do I need a professional?
A: Basic mechanical skills and familiarity with marine electrical systems are sufficient for installation. However, if you are uncomfortable working with ignition components or diagnosing electrical issues, professional installation is recommended.

A: This listing is an aftermarket replacement part (not an OEM component). We build to OEM specifications using comparable-grade materials. Production is done in an ISO9002-certified facility, and each batch is inspected for consistent performance.
Q: How fast do you ship and how much does it cost?
