I believe I had a bad connection on my ground somewhere. I attempted starting my ski and white smoke began to come oute of my electric box.

Do I need a new Ebox? or can I get away with a new CDI? anyone have a good ebox for sale? cheap?

thank you for your help.

I would say to open the e-box first and see what's burnt.

Those CDI units are packed full of smoke from the factory and you're not supposed to let it out. :biggrin:

where do you get the replacement smoke and how do you put it back in?

the wire is probably fried all the way to the stator. you should be fine if you replace the wire. and find out the original problem.
