⚠️ 6G9 ENGINE FAMILY ONLY
PLEASE CHECK BEFORE ORDERING
This listing is specifically for selected Yamaha F9.9B engines from the 6G9 family.
Look for:
6G9
in your engine identification / model information and compare the original CDI part number.
Do NOT order this CDI for a different F9.9 engine generation simply because:
- Your engine is Yamaha
- Your engine is 9.9 HP
- Your engine is 4 Stroke
- Your engine is marked F9.9
- The CDI looks similar
The exact engine family and CDI reference must be checked.
Different Yamaha F9.9 Generations
Yamaha has produced several different 9.9 HP 4-stroke engine families.
For example:
This Listing
F9.9B – 6G9 Family
CDI references:
6G9-85540-20 / 21 / 22 / 29
Other F9.9 Models
Later or different F9.9 engine families can use completely different CDI / ignition-control modules.
These parts are NOT interchangeable simply because the horsepower is the same.
What Is the CDI Unit?
The CDI – Capacitor Discharge Ignition – unit is an important component of the outboard's ignition system.
It controls the ignition operation required for the engine to produce spark at the correct time.
A faulty CDI unit can be associated with symptoms such as:
- No spark
- Intermittent spark
- Difficult starting
- Misfiring
- Engine cutting out
- Loss of ignition when hot
- Irregular engine operation
Important
These symptoms do NOT automatically mean that the CDI is faulty.
Similar symptoms can be caused by other ignition or electrical components.
Proper diagnosis is recommended before replacing the CDI unit.

⚠️ IMPORTANT – Check the Original CDI Number
For the safest identification, compare the part number on your original CDI.
It should correspond with one of the following:
6G9-85540-20
6G9-85540-21
6G9-85540-22
6G9-85540-29
If your original CDI carries a completely different Yamaha prefix, please contact us before ordering.
⚠️ Appearance Does Not Confirm Fitment
If the CDI unit looks the same as the one fitted to your engine, this does not always mean it is the correct part for your outboard.
Different Yamaha CDI units can look very similar externally while having different:
- Internal specifications
- Ignition characteristics
- Wiring
- Electrical connectors
- Applications
Always check the engine identification and original part number.
Before Replacing Your CDI Unit
If your Yamaha has an ignition fault, we recommend checking the complete ignition system before installing a replacement CDI.
Check:
- Ignition coils
- Spark plugs
- Spark plug caps and leads
- Source / charging coil
- Pulser / trigger components
- Stop / kill circuit
- Engine earth / ground connections
- CDI wiring
- Electrical connectors
- Burnt or corroded terminals
- Damaged wiring
A fault elsewhere in the ignition system can produce symptoms similar to a failed CDI unit.
