OK the 6-pin (2 plugs) unit is the CDI.
The other box, 8 pin (9 pin socket) is known or at least sold as a "rev. limiter"
I'm not sure if the abbreviation means "reverse" or "revolution"
This box is some sorta necessary evil and is known to be very tempermental, no differant from the cdi unit as well.
I have depleated all but 3 wires going to this rev. limiter: green, black, black w/white.
