I just got the Coil in the mail. I attached it, BLUE to Stator, Black to Ground, NOTHING...

I was afraid of this... BUT You live and you learn!

I need suggestions for the best possible replacement, ROB has already shown me a replacement original which looks like my best option so far...

Kinda ya, the original one looks round, to bolt holes, that ground it, and serve as a ground for the circuit. One terminal, with a Y, one to kilswitch, one to stator/magneto, and the plug wire.

Dang, I was hoping that this was as plain as it got, but if the CDI, is WITH the coil, in the same box... I might be in trouble, Like your saying...

Now that I notice this, What do you think about a regular 12Volt coil for an older car?
"IF" I am hearing you right, on the 82 motobecane, the stator points will give the timing and power signal, I just need to have a way to transfer to the spark plug VIA Plane Jane Coil.. Right?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! It hasn't even got here yet and Im in trouble!....((

I have been doing some research on Ignition Coils, since I am getting ready to replace one on an older 2 STROKE ENGINE.

What I have read has basically told me that, a 2 STROKE ENGINE, with NO CDI BOX, gets the firing points from the MAGNETO. So every time the magneto turns past the pick-up, it sends the signal to the coil box.

So if I am correct, a 2 Stroke(50cc) Engine, can use ANY Coil box designed for a 50cc Engine.

That being said(IF ITS CORRECT)(AND FOR MY SITUATION)
I PLUG THE *BLUE* WIRE(from stator, magneto etc) INTO MAGNETO,
GROUND THE OTHER WIRE*BLACK* WIRE TO THE ENGINE
MOUNT IT, AND PLUG IN THE SPARK PLUG.

I figured since I could not find MUCH info on coils, it was a good subject to discuss. I know that the modern everyday 4 STROKE scoot, NOW has a CDI box, plus coil. Which is a very different situation. My particular situation, is an OLDER(82) 2 Stroke.
ARE THE NEWER 2 STROKES NOW ON A CDI+COIL SETUP??
THANKS GUYS!

Thanks Alot Guys! I have found that repair manual too, its a GREAT HELP!

I have noticed that the only wires going to the magneto, From the coil, is ONE GREY Wire. The coil that I purchased has 3 wires total, SPARK PLUG WIRE, BLUE WIRE(FROM MAGNETO) BLACK WIRE(GROUND). I know this because I have had a Motorized Bike Engine, WITH this coil. and have replaced both the magneto, and coil on my old one.

That being said, as long as my magneto is good, this coil should get the signal from the magneto and fire just fine. It IS a coil for a 2 Stroke, 50-66cc engine... I can't wait for it to get here so I can either FRY it, or have a good solution!

IF I DO FRY IT,
I will purchase the 20 dollar one that ROB63 found! THANK YOU!!!

THANKS ROB, and pmatulew!!!

The links are VERY helpful and the video helped also! I DID NOT KNOW, that I had to pull the right hand thumb cable, that goes to the top of the Head.
What exactly does that do??

ALSO MY MAIN QUESTION
I was NOT getting ANY spark. I found the exact same coil for the bike, but unfortunately its about 120 dollars after shipping :// SO I bought a TWO STROKE, 50CC, 2 wire Coil, for a motorized bike kit, found here:
www.bikeberry.com/engine-kit-parts/electrical/cdi-electron-ignition-coil.html

I am pretty sure that I just needed a 12volt coil, that didn't need a CDI box... AT LEAST I HOPE SO!!! hahaha

THANKS ALOT YOU GUYS! COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT YA!!

So far I have taken the WEIRD Carb off, and completely broke it apart and cleaned it really well. I also flushed out the gas tank and shut off valve, put some fresh mixed gas in 24:1.

Not getting a spark, I can hear compression, so thats good, but I think the coil is more than likely bad. It is the original so Im 90 percent sure it needs replaced.

Im pretty sure ANY 12 volt 2 wire coil will work just fine, right? I will prolly pick up some 14ga. wire and redo alot of it as well as the ground. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

ALSO, it is a 2 STROKE Engine.
