well going.

coolj (coolj) 2007-08-23 07:00:00 +0500 #135

after the installation of the engine, it was time to start the engine, i was there my self while he was trying to start the engine but the current was not coming to the plugs, bashir was trying to figure out what is wrong. so after a while he changed the CDI unit and my bike started for the 1st time so the problem was with the CDI unit here is the pic of it

okaraboy (okaraboy) 2007-08-23 07:10:00 +0500 #136

well, that wasn't bad.

coolj (coolj) 2007-08-23 07:22:00 +0500 #137

@okaraboy
yes bro it was bad and u have no idea how i felt at that time coz u know how much does a CDI unit cost here?
between 8 to 10 thousand. and its v hard to find one.

coolj (coolj) 2007-08-23 07:52:00 +0500 #138

so i started finding the CDI unit but was not able to find so i asked my friend in lahore to find me one from there and he found me a CDI unit there and the price was 6000 for it.
mean while i had also asked my cousin to find me the unit from lahore and later that day he told me that it is available in lahore with Dr. Manzoor Hussain and with the reference of my cousin i will be able to get one for 5000.
i later that v same day in the evening went my self to lahore to buy the unit. i reached there at night and in the morning i went looking for the Dr. Manzoor. i found him at 12:00 pm and buy my CDI unit and he even checked it for me. Dr. Manzoor is a nice guy and then later he showed me his collection of bikes.
At the end i am glad that i found the CDI unit and was not that much expensive.

@imranbhatti
bhai may be u know Dr. manzoor his shop is in the baisment at centre lahore hotel.

coolj (coolj) 2007-08-23 08:06:00 +0500 #139
