In regards to hooking up the CDI and rectifier/regulator, there is plenty of help out on the web for doing this.

Like the Yahoo Honda Clone Motor Group List.

You'll need to join that group to get access to the FILES section where they have all of the wiring diagrams on how to hook up a Lifan to a CT.

Most, if not all, of the wiring diagrams were done by the Electrical Guru, Jon Pardue.

Paved roads, just more needless government spending...
