My first snowmobile had a Cyuana engine. It quit on more than one ocassion due to a bad CDI box. The previous owner had torn his hair out trying to troubleshoot this problem and thought he had it fixed with new crank seals. Hopefully the electrics have improved.

I'd never take to the air in one, although I doubt you "hover" very high....
I did have to replace the CDI and coil, twice in 15 years. Mostly it would not electric start which is how it is now, so I pulled the starter out to save weight.

The other time it was a problem was when it would just die without warning and not restart until it was cold again.

I still have just 90 hours on it after all these years because of the typical 1/2 hour flights on lakes (2 hours on rivers), or grad school, or under redesign/reconstruction as it is now.
