Important: Read these instructions before attempting any installation.
The Enhancer Ignition is a direct replacement for the stock CDI unit. No modifications in mounting or
wiring are necessary. The Enhancer increases spark energy and includes an adjustable Rev Control
and an engine protecting Holeshot/Engine Overtemp RPM Limiter. The timing curve is also modified
to improve low end and mid range while maintaining top end performance.
Note: It is recommended that on the initial start up after installation of the Enhancer, that the ignition
timing be left in the factory setting.
Note: It is recommended that you have the Service Manual for your craft.
INSTALLATION
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the electrical box from its mount. Refer to the Service Manual.
3. Remove the 14 screws and open the electrical box.
4. Remove the screws holding the stock CDI unit. Disconnect the wires and remove the unit.
5. Connect the color coded wires of the Enhancer to the factory wiring harness. Refer to Figure 1 for
wiring. Make sure all connections are tight and fully seated. The PINK wire coming from the Enhancer
is for the Holeshot/Overtemp feature and is explained in following sections.
6. The Enhancer Ignition will have an additional RED Wire that splits. This will connect just before the
in-line fuse (See Fig. 1).
7. The Enhancer Ignition will have two WHITE Wires. The WHITE Wire with a Male connector will attach
to the factory WHITE/RED Wire. (You may need to use the supplied jumper if your WHITE/RED Wire
also has a Male connector.) The WHITE Wire with a Female connector will attach to the factory WHITE
Wire.
8. Position the Enhancer Ignition in the stock mount. Route the wires so they are secure. Install the
supplied retaining screws and washers. If you plan on adjusting the Rev Limiter, do not assemble the
electrical box. Refer to Adjusting the Rev Limiter in the following section. The Rev Limiter is set at the
factory at 8,000 rpm.

position. Install the 14 screws and mount the electrical box.
