Bite the bullet and pay the money for a new one. If you get one from a salvage yard, there's NO guarantee that it will work and you won't be able to return it.
NUMBER ONE IMPORTANT!!! ---Make sure that is the problem. Even when bought brand new, electrical parts are NOT returnable.
Buy a shop manual and test every component before buying a CDI box.
--Stator
--Flywheel (it could have sheared the wood rift key, the magnets could have been damaged by the last owner).
--Pulse generator
--Coil
--High tension lead (spark plug wire, it might not be making a good connection to the coil or spark plug cap).
--Spark plug cap (they do go bad).
--Kill switch
--Electrical connections, wires, ground
Electrical problems - beware

Try Penton imports online-they sell PVL replacement ignitions for vintage and modern bikes. I put an analog one on my 1977 Maico AW440-and can retard the timing compared to points. It starts easily-and revs slightly quicker.

The model for your 85 rm 125 may even be digital. Don't just get a new one(if you can find one)-get a PVL they have a 90 day exchange policy too. Hang on to that 85, as it is a "bomber" class mxer now, but will likely be the in the next generation of mx bikes allowed in vintage racing.

you may purchase a KTM by technique of far and away the optimal technologically more desirable motorbike contained in the international. looking on what you weigh I propose a three hundred XC or three hundred XCW The W promises 5 gears instead of four. I favor a 450 XC/F stroker. I merely bought it and honestly like it!!!

Yo siempre compro las guantes que necesito de sitios web por su relación entre el precio y la calidad excelente, como se acerca el frio me he comprado unos guantes para acompañar la ropa de invierno, los he probado nada más llegar el paquete y además de estar muy bonitos protege muy bien las manos y por su diseño puedo usar fácilmente el teléfono, estoy muy encantada con esta compra.
