I still have enough gift balance to afford that one. Would my stock coil work with it? If not, would the coil in the set I ordered work with it?

The fuse that originally blew was one of the tube fuses and it blew after some rough surface riding due to weather. I ended up walking my scoot about a block before I could get a hold of anyone to pick me & it up. My friend asked at the parts store about changing from the tube fuse and they sold him a blade fuse holder and fuses which happened to be the "light when blown kind". Course they charge over $5 for a pair of them vs just under $5 for a pack of 10 standard blade fuses. I had a choice to make that caused the fuse to blow - get hit by a car traveling the wrong way in my lane or go off-road with the scoot - I chose off road and the bouncing not only broke the fuse, I lost my low beam filament in my headlight as well.

I had mentioned earlier that I found my stoplight bulb was bad, it was the one that came with the scoot so I figure it was just cheap to only last about 15 months. Fuel gauge has never worked - tank part has been changed twice so has to be a defect in the cluster. I didn't think to check the horn or the turn signals and looking at my headlight, it appears the low beam is again blown. The shops around here say they sell the headlights in multiples because they blow the low beam so easily due to vibrations and rough roads we have around here.

What I do know:
1. With my CDI installed, my scoot will not start.
2. With the CDI off my son's scoot installed, my scoot will start.
3. My scoot won't start with my son's battery unless his CDI is installed as well.
4. My battery works just fine in my son's scoot, if his CDI is installed.
5. The last 4 or 5 times prior to the no-start, I had to basically prime it by kicking it over. It didn't have to start with the kick start but it acted like it didn't have enough power to start unless you kicked it over. I don't know if my wording makes sense. If I kicked it 2X, I could then electric start with no trouble.
6. When the no start happened, it had sat overnight after being ridden for about 30 min when I left my brother's house to come home. Ran fine coming home, then wouldn't start at all the next morning. Had sat about 12 hours at that point

My brother suggested I order a CDI & coil set so I ordered a set off Amazon today.

Saw on another page that had more info. It's secluded there and the guys speculate they were dumped. Good news is they found a home for them.

I added 2 cats to my clutter this year that were dumped and found a home for a third (she was very timid & afraid) with an older couple. Ended up getting 8 cats fixed this year which included the 2 dumped cats, 3 survivors from a litter from a dumped momma last year, & 3 surviving kittens from the 2 girls from last year's litter. Also just paid to have an eye removed on 1 of the kittens because it got ruptured when they were running wild. Took me a year to tame down last year's litter but now everyone is fixed.

I absolutely hate people who abandon animals. Won't take any to the shelter here myself. Over 90% kill rate on cats and within the last few months, several pit bull looking dogs have been put down wrongly. Both times they got out of damaged fences (car hit one lady's fence & tree took out the other) & both times the owners had taken photos of the dogs down & reported them missing & all of them were microchipped. All the dogs were picked up hours after the missing report was made yet the dogs were destroyed without notifying the owners and within a couple of hours of being picked up. NC is supposed to have a mandatory hold time on strays & they didn't even follow that.

Last week my scooter had the belt, contra spring and rollers replaced. I've previously had a BBK installed in it several months ago. When we picked it up from the shop, it was hard to start and we had to kick it to start. That was Thursday and I've drove it every day since then with the same issue, only starting if I rotate the engine using the kick start first. It didn't need to actually start with the kick, if I understood my brother I was just rotating the engine to get the oil where it need to be. It was only after sitting for several hours that I had this problem.

Anyways, this morning it not only wouldn't start, I had no power at all. Checked my battery and it was low so I charged it but still absolutely no power. Checked my inline fuse and connections - all good. Had a CDI off a parts scooter & tried it but nothing but no idea really if that CDI was good (I'm guessing not now). Once my son got home, I pulled the CDI off his scoot (known good) and tried it. Scoot fired up without any trouble so looks like the CDI is my problem.

So here is my question - Do I need a stronger than stock CDI? I have some funds sitting in Amazon gift cards so if someone could recommend something I'd be grateful. I have no idea what weight rollers are in the scoot now, only that Shannon(mechanic) said he didn't put the stock size in since I had that engine work done. And they only carry Gates belts for these scoots which I know is what peeps here recommend. With the BBK, different rollers and one size stiffer contra spring is there anything else I might need to upgrade?
