If your wiring is good (cdi box, coil, transducer, microswitch, etc. I would try a different cdi box.

The shut-off solenoid gets power from the microswitch. The microswitch gets power from the transducer. The transducer determines WHEN to send power to the microswitch based off RPM. The transducer gets its sense of RPM from terminal C of the cdi box.

It sounds like you either have a wiring issue (maybe crossed wires) or the transducer is receiving an incorrect “rpm” signal.

The cdi box gets its "rpm” signal straight from the points.

Does your tach work well?
Yes the Tach works very well.

Here is the wiring I have :



I checked the transducer on a sportomatic car which is way too rich at idle so maybe the problem was not "visible" on that car. So I still have a doubt on the transducer.
