The first Fireplug CDI developed for my 76 Trail-Twister was designed in 1998.  Many know the story how somebody heard about a Prestolite alternative that I was running and asked if I’d do one for them.  Word spread.  Shortly after  came additional Fireplug CDI versions for Yamaha, Harley, Polaris etc.
This all started in 1998.

1998 to 2023

This year we celebrate 25yrs for the Fireplug CDI
Thank you for your patronage

SEMICONDUCTOR SHORTAGE:

Spring 2023:  We are still experiencing some shortages for some semiconductor components.  We did pretty good maintaining stock through the busy season, but looking to reorder inventory now and running into no availability again. 

Our FIREPLUG modules all contain semiconductors, so is being affected by the global IC shortage affecting the commercial electronic markets.

We are not out of parts yet, so able to fill orders still.  Since the season is winding down, hoping no delays are encountered as we keep hunting down parts!.

NOTE:  Our Stator rewinding service has been slowed significantly.
We are still rewinding, but with some increase in cost due to
shipping and 6~8 week turnaround.
CONTACT US for more details.

The FIREPLUG ® CDI was first introduced in 1999.  It was developed the previous year for my personal 440 Trail-Twister.  After years of failures with the original Prestolite CDI, another option was needed if Vintage snowmobile ignitions were ever to be reliable.  With 40+ years of electronic evolution, the FIREPLUG CDI was designed to have increased spark energy and be extremely reliable with electronic components selected from industrial and automotive applications.

Inquires into the FIREPLUG CDI seen at race events, or written about on vintage snowmobile forums progressed into offering other models.  Soon we introduced FIREPLUG CDI’s for Yamaha, Harley-Davidson,  Polaris, Ski-Doo etc.  Years later we ventured into a replacement CDI for the Yamaha G1A golf-cart.  In 2015 we developed a replacement FIREPLUG CDI  for the TZ750 4-cyl Yamaha 2-stroke bike and the TZ / TD 250/250/400 bikes.

Recently we expanded our FIREPLUG CDI offerings into the MX & Enduros motorcycles from the 1970’s, all while adding additional vintage snowmobile FIREPLUG CDI’s to the product line.

Our goal always has been to offer the best product available at a competitive price.  We back it up with a warranty unmatched in the industry.  The intention isn’t to dump a high-volume product on an unsuspecting customer.  We provide a great custom built (in Michigan) product at a fair price and are truly interested in solving vintage ignition problems, not just pushing product.   We have a great reputation for helping solve problems and a vast knowledge in the vintage snowmobiles / motorcycles and the products we offer.

Why would anyone ever complain about a FIREPLUG CDI?

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO RISK & NO REASON TO COMPLAIN WHEN YOU CAN SIMPLY RETURN IT IF IT FAILS!

Other CDI’s out there are re-sold / re-builds from somewhere else. They have NO Warranty because nobody is willing to stand behind quality that isn’t there!

Please don’t compare our FIREPLUG CDI with typical catalog or rebuilt CDI units. There is no comparison!

Those units are typically imported, using knock-off counterfeit parts using ancient 1970’s technology with zero quality.
The result is inaccurate timing, poor reliability and no warranty!

The FIREPLUG CDI is our answer to the serious Vintage Snowmobiler /
Racer, Rider & Collector, who strive for performance & reliability.

We are keenly interested in satisfying your high expectations.
The FIREPLUG CDI exceeds the need, at a competitive price, with the best WARRANTY IN THE BUSINESS!.
