52-y-50 CDI

[rvl608w]

can you help please,
Have a 52-y-50 cdi with 83/84 rotor.
tried to follow the CDI guide but have failed.
when it says swap R & G, I have a red and white on CDI and a green. 
my CDI red white is connected to Green (stator)AND a black and white from loom.
Engine starts but just ticks over, wont rev at all.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

Usually on a cdi the green/white and red/white are the pick up coil

The red, green and brown are the hi and lo speed windings

I have white/green stripe, and white/red stripe for the pick up,
it is the Red/White stripe from CDI that is the confusion with me at present. (i may become more confused!)

I'd have to check the wiring diagrams but is that not the kill switch circuit that would connect to the black with white stripe on the loom

I'll check and get back

Just looked at the diagram in the Haynes manual

White/red and white/green go to the pick up coil

The orange is the coil feed, the black is an earth and the black/yellow is the pv trigger. These connect to the corresponding wires on the main loom

The brown is the hi/lo winding common wire

The green is one generator coil and the red white is the other

The red/white also connects to the black white kill switch wire that when activated grounds out the windings so it won't start

If the conversion says switch red and green then that will be the 2 wires on the stator wiring

So the red wire off the cdi connects to the black/white in the loom AND the green from the stator

The green wire from the cdi will connect to the red on the stator

Hope that helps

Thank you for that,
it is how i am wired,
CDI red/white to green stator and black/white loom
CDI green to stator red.
looks like ive got to look elsewhere to solve my issues.
Many thanks
