If I put a new CDI box on my 400ex, would this help somewhat on cold engine starts???

I don't think so, what kind of cold enging start problems are you having?

 

[Helmut]

I agree. I don't think a new CDI will do anything for a cold start problem.

I agree also^^^^^^^^^!!!

agree ^^^^^^^^^..c.d.i 's only control the spark timming..they have nothing to do with cold starts..your problem lies with your carb.

Well it's all in the carb bro. my 250 started everytime first kick and stayed running but now that I have added the 400ex carb..... I gotta fan the throttle a bit until it warms up. just aomething that we are going to have to live with or buy a FCR carb.

All that is is jetting.My 250x did that and uped one on the pilot jet and cured it.

I had a problem with cold starts in the winter 30 deg's i put full synthedic oil and that made a huge differance in the way it would start not near as hard to get started.

cold starts

New cdi helps but it's mostly keeping thinner oil or just put a hair dryer on the exhaust for ten minutes or both even better.

Yeah the aftermarket cdi on my brothers actually made it not start at all in the winter. He put the stock on and it fired right up. Then after he rode it around and warmed it up he could put his big gun back on. We made a heater for it out of a dryer element and a blower housing and point it right at the carb or under the gas tank. It seems like warming up the fuel makes it start way easier!
