The one I have is FEYCH brand, and it sounds like it would probably be crap but it is not. It has never killed a battery and in times when I really stretched out the battery when I was having starting issues and even the lights and horn wouldn't work anymore the alarm still worked (not as loud but worked when battery severely low). It seems to be a very generic 2 way motorcycle alarm, and if your scooter is recent (which 2013, I'd say is) it probably has a spot in the harness to simply plug one of these in and use it right away. www.ebay.com/itm/2-Way-Engine-Start-Motorcycle-Anti-theft-Security-Alarm-System-Vibration-Sensor-/272038315974?hash=item3f56bf47c6 |

Sounds like bad wiring harness. Replace it and see the difference instantly.

Check your stator. My original 6 pole was weak for night riding, after changing to 8 pole I can see so much more even at idle.
Also changing to LED bulbs requires less power, but some of them do not like AC power and burn out fast and you may find the LED bulb to give both better and worse night riding vision because while it is brighter, it also doesn't have the rich spectrum of light you'd find in incandescent bulbs and you may find LED bulbs can be troublesome in areas with a lot of grey like highways at night. I second adding auxiliary lights, I run one short range LED spot fog light to see the road from my wheel to about 5 feet away and one long range focused fog light on the side of my front wheel for night and heavy weather riding in addition to my main single headlight, and this creates a lot of light with no blind spots from my front wheel to whatever I am driving toward.

I'll try it later on break, I don't get break for another.... 4 to 6 hours from now but I already fabricated the wires needed so I can just screw them in, plug them in, and try it out.
EDIT: Tried it, it did not work. Going to try to see if the scooter shop has a DC CDI.
Shop didnt have the CDI.
Stator came early, problem solved!

the stock black ones are larger. beyond that its a crap shoot Is there any way to run the cdi off the charging or lighting coils from the stator? They seem to be healthy, I don't have a meter but with a test light I get a strong light from them, nothing at all from the coil for the spark from stator. I'm really just trying to get it to ride once, not make a conversion unless I really have to... I appreciate your advice tvnacman |

From new york? I would expect it to arrive the next day via regular first class mail, we are in neighboring states. I want to check one of the local scooter shops first since I called the other day and they told me they just didn't know if any of them were AC or DC which is why I usually won't buy from him because of him selling things he doesn't know what they are....
The only difference between AC and DC cdi in appearance is the size right? What about pins? It looks like in the pinout there are only 5 pins in use, the pin that normally is for killswitch does not exist on the DC cdi pinout, but is the pin there? How do I know I am looking at a DC cdi?

lain you need to disconnect the bullet plug at the stator harness, install a dc cdi and connect the bullet plug to 12v and your good to go. John See that's what I thought. But what if I cannot get a DC CDI in time either? I have plenty of spare AC CDIs, can I just hope it doesn't fry them all out before I get home or would it be pointless? Or what about using the charging system or lighting coils to power the cdi instead? They seem to still give out power just not the coil that is supposed to power the cdi. |

Is it possible to wire the cdi to power the spark without a stator? Like hook up the power in to cdi wire to the positive on the battery instead of the stator?
My stator on my 150cc burned out right when I got to work the other day, I already ordered a new sator but it may arrive too late. They are demolishing the property where I work in less than 2 weeks, I need to make it move for about 13 miles to get it to the closest safe spot..

0.1 is okay for the pickup (blue and white) wire.
Not sure how you would possibly test the cdi with a meter, CDIs are capacitor discharge, so unless you have a capacitor tester... and even then it would be unreliable. If you have checked with the spark plug against the engine block while trying to start and it gives no spark, replace the plug, still no spark replace the coil, still no spark replace the cdi, by then if you still have no spark it's got to be a wiring issue but it sounds like your wires are fine.

Always remove the carb, you don't want to spray carb cleaner in the engine. Remove the rubber and plastic parts from the carb before using carb cleaner. Please look up a proper guide, I'm no teacher. : )

If there were no known issues before you let it sat then I follow these steps:
Quick cleaning of the carb will ensure it will work like you got it.
Oil change to remove the old oil which may have started to degrade will ensure the condition of the engine stays well instead of pushing the old oil around which would cause unneeded wear on the cylinder and piston.
Add some Seafoam engine treatment to the gas (about 2 shot glasses worth for old gas) or drain and replace the gas depending on how bad it is.
Next time you plan to let it sit remove the battery and keep it on a maintainer, sitting around not charging or discharging is how I see a lot of scooter batteries die, not from use. For now just charge it and hope the cells haven't dried up and capacity is still good.
If the breaks are soft replace the fluids.

Are you sure you aren't mistaken for the diaphragm? JCL MP250A Lihai 257cc powered Mistaken what for the diaphragm ? I think you are in the wrong place... : / Look above. |
