So I want to test a few engines I may put into a frame I have before doing the entire install and everything. What is the bare minimum to get an engine to run on stand without frame? Just want to start up and idle.
I am guessing I need a CDI and to wire up a little bit of a harness that will connect it to the stator and coil. I will also need a coil and gas source (I have a macguyvered tank out of a bottle), a solenoid and a battery and a button that will send 12v power to the solenoid via the battery and a small gauge wire and 10 gauge wires for the starter/solenoid>battery. Is that all enough?

May not be the exact answer your looking for This set-up is more economical as I can use for both Bench test and Scoot as upgrade. This is a Very Nice set-up made for me by DMartin. My OE Sunny Wiring Harness is pure junk. Discount the Stator upgrade for your app  Total Plug-N-Play |

Discount the Stator upgrade for your app Total Plug-N-Play Well I have all the connectors and everything so I was planning to just make my own harness for the scooter I'm working on. It's a kymco super9 I am working on removing the 2 stroke and installing a 4 stroke. |

This is a nice wiring diagram for bench testing an engine made by DMartin  |

if the engine a stator with a feed for ac cdi , you will need cdi coil carb and kick start lever. Pull a wire off the coil to stall it out.

Wait what? So I really don't need the pickup hooked up? The diagram hows no pickup, but I don't see how the spark timing could work without it, am I misunderstanding something here?

You have to have the pickup coil wired up.

the pick up coil is attached to the stator.

Cool, is it possible to run in this configuration as well when I have it in the frame for road testing?

You can drive it hooked up like that, but it would probably just be easier to hook it up to the wire harnesses. The only thing that is not hooked up is the charging/lighting wiring to the regulator.
I completely removed my wire harness. I have each wire run separately. I used 16ga wire on everything, which is better quality. Plus, if something goes wrong, I know exactly where every wire is going, and I have all the connections in places that are easy to get to.

Yeah it would be easier, but I have no harness for it so I will be making my own. I will be putting an engine in an old kymco super9 2 stroke that has been sitting outside someone's house for years and years. The only good things on it are the front wheel and the frame. |

Oh, if you are starting from scratch, just get some different colors of 16g wire, and some male and female blade connectors, and some bullet connectors. The blade connectors will fit most regulator connections. I use bullet connectors to connect at the stator. Post whatever questions you have, and I'll do my best to help you out.
