I have the Jonway 54 250cc with the verical honda clone
I just got her running and running good with all the carb fuel pump issues now after about 7 to 10 miles she starts acting as if she is running out of gas or more like someone hit the kill switch. I just got done with this issue I am pretty sure my issue is none longer fuel but maybe electrical? I think this because she runs so well after a 5 minute break.
So I pulled the ignition coil and tested across the 2 top posts i got 3 ohms when I test post to inside the plug boot I got nothing. Am I testing this right??

Testing the coil is a not so scientific process and isn't reliable. This scooter has a DC type CDI and if you think it's an electrical issue then check the wires especially the black one on the CDI.

Yup that was my first step I replaced CDI but after still having the same problem I thought about the coil and wanted to test it with out throwing more money just to change a part.

I found a few videos that made me feel as if I was testing it correctly and went ahead and replaced the coil. The coil was truely acting like some of the videos i saw were it would run great for 15 to 20 minutes then it would just crap but it would feel like I ran out of fuel. So I would just wait a minute (in my case on the side of the road) then its like it didn't even happen.

She has made it past the first hurdle, I ran her with the new coil for about 20 minutes in and around my neighborhood. But I'm not ready to say she is fixed yet until I give her a full 20+ mile run out on the real road.
