Ever burn a CDI box up with a NON-Resistor?

[QUOTE="VB Racing, post: 767829, member: 50569"] I can second what Rich said, I was at an ice race a couple years ago, fouled a plug, and threw in a non resistor for the heat race. I had an FMF ignition on the bike(awesome ignition, by the way) . The bike missed at high RPM, and had a dramatic loss in power. Switched to the proper plug after the heat race, problem solved. I also know that a non resistor plug WILL mess with the signal from the TP sensor on the carb. You have to remember with electronics you are working in milivolts, and they are easily manipulated by stray voltage. God forbid you get a voltage spike, then you will see smoke coming out of the CDI. I work with electronics every day in an automotive environment( I am a driveability specialist at a local shop). I have seen some very strange things happen because of stray secondary ignition voltage. I once had a Ford Thunderbird in the shop that had a faulty processor. Whenever the car was running , all the radios in the shop would blink out. It was because of a stray signal from the vehicles processor. I hope you get the idea. My 2 cts [/QUOTE]
