This helped a lot! Thank you so much. I suddenly find myself with a lot of time and not much $$ (got canned). So I'll have a bunch of time trying to fix the scoot and look for cheap parts.
I pulled the stator/magneto metal cover thing and found out I have a 8pole 4wire setup? Also tested that my starter button works. But the solenoid does not engage. So I need to buy a new one. While I'm at it maybe a choke.
Might need a new fuel pump?

Hopefully by identifying the scooter I can finds parts to fix it. The story is the following I traded this non running scooter via craigslist. It has a title and all but won't start. The owner said that's the only thing wrong with it. It's green and says Agility on the side along with YY50QT-6. Got it home and it had no battery... I bought a new one. Also got a new plug for it. Put in fresh gas after draining old stuff out and replaced plug. The starter button don't work... (Need new). Kill switch is big ? I tested the spark plug lead and it seems ok with continuity thru it. Starter motor is ok, it cranks when I short the poles on the solenoid. Choke might be bad.... And the stator  Can't even get the darn metal spinning thing off.. (Need to buy puller... And stator but what kind 5 or 8 pole 4 or 5 lead). And then there is the mystery box CDI. Get a soured up one to make scooter have the oomph to haul my big butt around. I guess it all starts by identifying the beast.. Adding some photos to help. Also if there are anyone really bored and knowledgable on MN/WI border along I-94 to give me a hand.?..    |
