I'm in the UK and a couple of years ago bought a 3kVA inverter generator badged Bohmer AG I-5000. I believe the same set is also badged Clarke Power 3400W. The generator was always an absolute pig to start and during the last power outage I'll put my hand up to giving it a blast of easy start to get it away. Spark is just about non existent. I've changed the spark coil and plug.
Bit of investigation and it seems the CDI module has failed. I've better and better looked but I believe these machines are Chinese and coming into the UK under badges familiar to us.
The machine is out of warranty but for all purposes is new with less than 25 hours on it. The CDI looks as though most of the parts could be swapped except it has been potted.
I've attached a picture of the CDI. Does anyone in the UK know where I can get one.
Thanks
