Sorry to double post but I'm having an issue with my cellphone. When i type allot in this little box and i accidentally click off of it, it won't let me scroll down to where i was last typing lol. Kids and woman are hogging the desktop again. Anyways, like i was saying, when you find the right bolt size, go back and get the long bolt size for the one that works and swap them out with the ones r that are in your pully now. Hope it works for ya:)

not that kind of puller bc

Okay let me take a stab at clarifying the 2 types of CDI circuits.

AC type, more common on 50 and 150s, physically smaller and will have 2 wires in the two wire connector. One is the kill switch the other is AC power from one coil on the stator, the AC power will only be there while the scooter is being cranked. The 4 pin connector, one wire (usually) Blue with a yellow tracer, is from the pickup that fires the CDI, Green is ground, and black with white goes to one side of the coil (out of CDI to fire the coil to produce spark).



DC CDI, in the 2 wire connector there is only one wire used. It will have 12 volts DC on it whenever the ignition is on. It does not get it's power from the coils of the CDI. The four wire connections are the same, colors may be different.

Here is a picture of both types.

:)i appreciate the effort guys
but u r to smart for me---lol
but ill fill u in, as best i can.

my cdi is pictured
wow sorry its not very clear
but there is the 2 wire plug
with a blk/whit wire & blk/red
on the 4 plug the wires r green - blk/yellow-red/white

and when it was serviced last yr, before i knew of these forums,
they never said anything about TCI so ima guessing its a normal cdi fired scoot


DOES THIS HELP ANYONE?

Yes, that is your common CDI found on most scooters.

Yours looks like this one:


And here is the two WE DON'T NEED TO GO TO SD TO LOOK AT STUFF, SHAME ON YOU JIM

[terrilee]

thanks allEy
i was sure it was a normal cdi

so if it warms up , just a bit,
im gonna try swapping the
pick-up coil, by the magneto,
with the one on the old parts scoot.

if that doesnt do anything im stuck
for now.
the flywheel puller i bought was defective,
wont thread in EASILY ,
but since my car mech buffed it all out
i cant return it

so after i see what piggers new vet bill costs
( yea he cant pee again, & im not putting his health in risk anymore)

i'll order a new 'puller'
and then that will allow me to see if my old scoot's magneto will just swap out.

DOES THAT SOUND LIKE A PLAN ?

[Alleyoop]

Sure sounds like a plan to me, Is the old scoot also a 150? reason I ask is if it is a 50 it may have a 6 pole stator while most 150s have an 8 pole stator.

[terrilee]

alley

yes its a 150

have always planeed on re-doing it
but im stealing so many parts

[Alleyoop]

Heck why not, if they were good on the other one you can save some buckoos, You Thief

[sprocket]

So Alley is what is called a DC CDI on a scooter actually a TCI?? It uses a transistor rather than capacitors?

[Alleyoop]

Sprocket,
No, TCIs are not the same as your DC CDIs, I have seen TCIs on some buggies and motorcycles, they actually have a wire from the battery feeding the coil. I should not have mentioned it, HAHA. But you asked so that that is why I put up the TCI stuff in case someone wanted to know a little bit about them.

Thanks!! I thought I was having an 'old timers' moment!!!!

[terrilee]

SPROCKET,

UR NOT A "OLD TIMER"

news to me

[mainepeace]

Terrilee, if the puller is defective, then go ahead and return it. I'll get my money back from the distributor, no problem. The only bit I'll be out is shipping to send you another one. Sure, it's not my personal fault, but I want your scooter running! Just verify that the thread pitch will work, or it would be a waste to send another one if it's the wrong size.

[terrilee]

greg, or anyone

how do i measure a "thread pitch"

greg
i'll think about it.
well yea maybe i will return it
since u get your $ back .
but ill pay for the shipping

u have been EXTREMELY helpful,
so i dont want u to lose anything
by being a nice guy.
