I'll have to check it in the morning, the street lights aren't going to cut it I've got to open up my scooter to check the spark, carb, valves and CDI in the morning anyway. Where is the CDI in there? It just looks like a box w/ some different colored wires coming out of it right?

[Alleyoop]

The CDI looks like this:

Great pic! Thanks! Where on the scooter is it?

[Alleyoop]

Want me to come on down and point it out to you(HEHE). It could be anywhere, they put them all over the place. Some in front by the headlights some right across from the Carb on the frame etc.. You will have hunt for it. But follow the Spark Plug Wire back and there are two wires that connect to the COIL, follow the red wire and it will lead to the CDI.

Thanks! Yes, come point it out! J/K. Good Lord I hope I don't have to take apart the spot by the headlights, it looks like a pain to get apart I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out by your description Hopefully by the end of tomorrow my scooter will be in great shape.... and hopefully I will be able to fit a socket wrench in the places I need to w/o having to buy an extender thinger a bobber

[Alleyoop]

It will take a while to get down there I am in CHI TOWN.

[straightbangin]

Yes very far. My fave thing about Chi town is the mirror maze at navy pier

[Alleyoop]

I like St. Pete, nice beachs, clean and a little upscale.

[straightbangin]

I'll have to check it out sometime. I pretty much just stay on my little island since all I drive is the scoot

I already changed the engine oil at about 75mph because when I checked it it was low and I didn't want to mix 2 different kids of oil ( whatever crap they put in and the stuff I planned on using)

Pretty darn impressive changing the oil at 75mph! I guess you would have to be a personal trainer to do that.
I agree with St. Pete

[straightbangin]

OH MAN! That's funny. I meant at 75 miles. Haha. I must have been really tired yesterday to put that Good catch So funny

The CDI is likely under the seat... you need to open the seat and remove the plastic tub.. there are usually 4 or 6 screws...

Why are you looking for the CDI?

[straightbangin]

Okay I just took the seat off. And it looks like this ( if i were to be straddling the bike backwards and looking down)

I'm looking for the CDI because it has been suggested that something may be loose or disconnected on it. The scooter will start but when I try to accelerate to move it, it will cut out. I looked around and I can't find the CDI or where the spark plug is

I did however notice 2 things not connected:

Bottom left of the main pic the little white thing with with the green wire coming out of it: Close Up: So maybe it is supposed to go to the ac ignition and kill switch (as per the diagram that was posted towards the top of this thread page above) What I am holding has a green wire coming out of it and it leads to the enricher / auto choke ( which I by the way thought the spark plug was in there but I learned from a video that is not where it is)

The other thing not connected is a tube that looks like its coming from the bottom of the carb: Center of the photo seeing how its just sitting there not hooked up to anything.

I looked around to see what these 2 things could / should be hooked to but I found nothing. Any ideas if these two things should be hooked up to something and if so what?

Also any idea where the CDI box or spark plug may be? LOL. Not sure if you can tell by the main picture I took. At least I figured out where the carb is YAY! LOL.

And one more pick just showing a little further back towards the arse end of the scooter. Working against a shadow there not sure if that little bit more of viewing will mean anything. I can take more pics if need be.


I know where the valves are so I'm going to go check them for now.
