No spark By csmithjump (Read 18,665 times)

I have a roketa Bali 250 and I am not getting any spark from the spark plug. The plug is new. Any suggestions would be helpful.

is the kill switch in the run position , is the battery fully charged ?

Battery is fully charged and kill switch is in the left position by the circle symbol. However I tried it the other way to be sure, same result. Does this scoot have a safety switch that engages when the bike stand is down? I have not tried it with the stand in the up position, but not sure if that makes a difference. Thanks.

I'm not sure about the kick stand switch myself . Try it with it up , if no go check the fuses . Do you have a meter ?

The scoot is kept at my job in the garage. I am going to try starting it with the bike stand and kick stand up, and pray that it works. As to the fuses, there are none. The guy I bought it from tried to wire in some custom speakers, and my guess is that he by passed the in line fuse on the red line to the battery. I don't think this model has a fuse box. Well this one doesn't anyways. So I cleaned up all the wiring problems and took off his speaker wire and have everything working, except no spark as mentioned.

Well I tried with the kickstand up and no luck. I do have a meter. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

go to the red wire on the cdi and see if you have 12vdc with the key switch in the run position .

Is this a horizontal 257cc or the vertical 244cc engine. Both get called 250 by Rocketa.

The horizontal only has one or two fuses near the battery but no fuse box. The vertical engine has several fuses and most are in a fuse box under the seat of the scoot I have plus at least one other near the battery. I don't have the Bali version but assume that most scooters are much the same but for the body designs.

Here is a link to the Rocketa Bali 13-250 parts section. The engine does look to be vertical and it does show a fuse box.

Hope this helps a bit.

John: the cdi does not have a red, but it does have a red/white. The vdc on the red/white is 4.7.

Bob: I believe I have the vertical engine. Here is a pic (best I could do without taking off the plastics)

on the two wire connector based on you picture . check the black wire in the two wire plug on top for 12 vdc.
