Hi Ive been on here reading for the past few days. I was having problems accelerating, so i adjusted the valves, then it wouldnt crank at all jumped the starter relay cranked but no turn over so i assume the relays bad but couldnt get it started for the life of me to only find out there was no spark out all of a sudden so i pulled the kill wire on the cdi and got spark still had some problems starting but kept on now i got it started and also accelerating pretty nicely. So my question is what do i do bout the kill wire cause its jist laying there do i need to get a new kill switch or is there a way to fox the problem?

Since you are new the easiest way is just replace the switch.

If it is running like you say just ride it until the switch comes in the mail. Parts are cheap.

Hi there, fields46391 .
I wouldn't be much help to you on this one, as electrical problems make my head spin. If you believe that the kill switch is the problem, as opposed to the wiring or the CDI, they are very inexpensive , $5 shipped usually, for a GY6 scooter. It may be worth it to try a new one in there rather than spending the time undressing the bike, exposing wires to trace , test, and diagnose the exact problem. The kill switch could well be shorting across and grounding when it shouldn't be. Unless someone savvy comes along to teach and walk you through diagnosis, I'd say it's worth a shot to try a new one.
If you do take it off before ordering one, you might as well open it up carefully (Take pics as you open it, for re assembly)to see if it just needs a cleaning or if any of the wiring connectors are touching each other.
If you are unable to locate the switch for purchase, post all the identifying info for your scoot so, peeps can help you sort it out.
