Testing the CDI unit

Just so everyone can find it easily, I hope this is the one you were speaking about Rodbolt

yep that is the one.
it also shows water burn, most likely due to the water suspended in E fuels.

see that brown crust on the side electrode?
that is water burn.

we see that crust on most large boats holding 250+ gallons of Efuels that are vented directly to the atmosphere.

the problem with E fuels for the marine industry is Ethanol is hydroscopic.
means it sucks water vapor from the air.
until it sucks up so much that it phase seperates it CANNOT be filtered with conventional water seperators.
kinda like you cannot filter oil from the gas in a premix motor.
it can be done but not with conventional filters.

the US govt marine technician stimulous program has made me a lot of coin since 08.
