Hi everyone,
I just bought a 1980 CM400E that has a 450 twin (6 speed) swapped in. Trouble is, previous owner modified the ignition system in a way that removed many OEM ignition components.
Quick questions to those who know; can I revert to OEM CM400E wiring system and components (CDI, coil ect...) and still use the 450 stator and charging assembly?
What items does this 450 twin use to stay running? (CDI, single coil, two spark plugs)
What does this engine use to know spark timing? (crank position sensor?)
Do both pistons fire at the same time? (Is there a good write-up so I can learn more about this engine specifically?)
Thanks a million for your time,
Cheers!
