sounds as if you have one of the good ones .... may just be a bad run on this particular coil .....

Alley and tvnacman, I removed the new Chinese Ignition Coil I had previously installed, re installed my old original Ignition Coil and the scooter is running out perfect ( idle include ).... This is how I came to take this action... I spoke with the person I purchased the ignition coil from and he referred me to another tech that was having the exact same problems as my scooter..... he put new a stator and pu coil, ignition coil, cdi and carb only to have the scooter start crapping out after it warmed up and then the unit would lose spark and not start until the unit cooled down. After testing unit till it lost spark, he changed the ignition coil out ..... fired up and ran fine for 2-3 days .... Back to square one ..... NO SPARK ..... he discarded the Chinese Made Ignition Coils and installed a Japanese Made High Performance Ignition Coil w/warranty (http://  .ebay.com/itm/190763537709?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649) and has had no problem with the scooter since, After researching the Chinese Ignition Coils and finding only 2-3 out of every 12 work as they are supposed too ( and then maybe for only 3-6 mo ), he came to the conclusion that the gel that they are using inside their ignition coils is breaking down under heat .... thus compromising the spark which results in crapping out and not running properly. However, This can get very expensive because most parts houses will not confirm and warranty the reliability of the part they are selling..... thus dumping this crap on the general public. All that said, Thank You so much for your expertise and assistance  I am finally glad to be riding again |

starts fine ....... idles fine until I bog it down after exceeding 60 MPH ..... 0-60 in 4-5 sec ..... will cruise @ 60 with throttle relaxed .... come to a full stop, dies and does not shut off. When I exceed 65 ish she starts bogging down and eventually dies ..... I restart with no problem runs fine as long as I do not exceed 60 and then it dies at every stop. I can let unit sit for an hour and it will run and idle fine until it bogs down the first time. Flashers, Turn Signals and all lights working crisp and steady. Hmmmmm |

Alley, Thanks for the detailed info ..I went thru the steps, then Idisassembled every piece of plastic on the scooter (including instrument panel) ..... I cleaned every connection with elect contact cleaner and ... and discovered a loose connection under the instrument panel (green and brown wire) at the wiring harness in back of the headlight assembly ..... I cleaned and reseated the connection , checked for spark and twas sooooooooooooooo glad to see the Bluuuuue Flame, popped the coil wire onto plug, pumped throttle once, hit the start switch = Scooter running and not shutting off after raising RPMS / applying the rear brake bringing to an instant idle and tweaking the fuel / air mix .... shut unit down and restarted several times without any problems. will take for a test run tomorrow. John, I did the test and the stator and pu coil were giving good sigs (thanks for the encouraging "FIXIT FIXIT FIXIT" hehe:)

I removed disassembled and cleaned carb .... removed and re installed the exhaust flange ..... unit fired up and was able to adjust idle / fuel and air mix ..... increased throttle RPMS up to 75% for about 20-30 seconds ( ran fine ) ..... increased throttle then released throttle and applied rear brake to simulate a stop, unit idled and did not shut off. Took off for a test ride .... unit shut off after about 1000 feet, restarted unit ... went another 500 feet .... died again ....... would restart .... I am now back to square one with No Spark.

my mistake .... I should have said counter clockwise .... smell's really rich ..... still does not idle for more than 10-15 secs after warming up ..... I will get the valves readjusted to .004

Not sure of the RPMS, but set just under the rear wheel spinning ..... valve gap 005-006 .... filter is an individual air filter; turned the fuel mix screw 1/2 turn clockwise and it has reduced the backfire when decelerating from 65-70 mph. The RPMS drop right away on the center stand, not sure about the ACV Valve .... will take pic of carb and filter. Cold start from setting overnight is as follows .... 1 quick pump of throttle, tap the ignition, fires right up and will idle for 4-5 minutes, when unit dies I pump the throttle once and restart and unit idles for about 10-15 seconds ..... i can pump the throttle at the point of it dying to keep unit running / idling .... so for now I just apply a small amount of throttle while holding the brake @ stop signs, unit accelerates and runs out fine until I release throttle and decelerate to an idle

Adjusted Fuel mix ..... checked flange .... idled and did not die ..... took it for a spin .... warmed up ..... idle's for about 10-15 sec then dies .. pump the throttle 1 time .... fires up, idles then I increase the throttle when it get's ready to die and it will keep running at an idle as long as I bump the throttle just before it dies.

the carb does have a pump,valves have adjusted, backfire on deceleration from 65ish mph... I will increase fuel and ck the header flange

Just back from a ride ...... when unit starts to die while sitting still, I pump the throttle and it picks back up ..... does not backfire when I decelerate from running @ 40-50 mph cruising speed and does not die if I keep the throttle opened up slightly while stopping @ intersection ..... if I'm sitting still and the unit dies, I pump the throttle a couple of times and it starts right up without having to grind on the starter ..... hmmmmmmm
Thanks in advance for your help .... tis most appreciated

I have fire after replacing the pu coil, stator and coil..... but it seem's as if the spark is being compromised in some way .... unit is now bogging down again with the original ignition box ..... unit cold starts fine ..... but is now starting to backfire when I let off the throttle .... hmmmmm is this still an electrical issue compromising the signal to the ignition box and then breaking down the spark that is being produced by the coil? ...... by the way my flashers and turn signals are not working properly either (intermittently)
