busy wiring my blade engine and I have a 919blade loom.

there is a pink wiring coming from the CDI unit and cant put my finger on what it is for..

I have some good wiaring diags but non of them show it.

thanks Alan

Pink wire is anti hotwire for CDI. You need to connect this to ignition live but install a 380 ohm resistor in the pink wire to lower the voltage the CDI sees. Its to stop the bki being stolen by pulling wires out and joining them together

The resistor is part of the blade ignition.switch so not shown on the diagrams

standard 1/4w resistor is ok.
