    Hi...I got the speedo plastic to move enough for me to get to the Run/Kill switch...All that work and it wasn't the switch...crap...I put a jumper on the two wires to the switch
and still no spark. So I broke down and ordered a CDI...Wish me luck...I got a feeling I
will need it...Lol

    Hi MJR...Where can I find a copy of that wiring diagram...Can you tell if the Run/Kill
switch wires on the handle bars run down to a bigger connection up front near the R/R
...I can get that big plastic cover off...Getting the plastic off from around the handle
bars is giving me trouble...I assume the Run/Kill switch wires run down the front and
plug into the scooters harness...If I can figure out what 2 wires I need to put a jumper
wire on at some other connection...I can leave the plastic on the bars alone and see if I
get spark at the plug...Thanks

   Its from the testing I did at the CDI on the black/white wire on the two prong CDI
connector, which I believe is to the Run/Kill switch, is why I want to by-pass the Run/Kill switch...the reading indicated that the switch might be bad...not being good at doing
these test...by-passing the Run/Kill switch at this point will tell me if it is the switch or i
need to keep testing other parts...If anyone knows of a way for me to by-pass the Run/Kill switch on a Kymco ZX50 Super Fever....Please let me know ASAP...Thanks

     I have a manual and seen the list of possible issues...What I notice with that list...It does not have the Run/Kill switch on that list...In fact, the manual doesn't have a wiring diagram for the switch or the bike itself in it...Yet, the switch can prevent a Non Spark issue...I want to by-pass this switch so it provides spark whenever the key is turned on but I can't seem to find what color wires run the switch...I need to figure out how to get the plastic off the handle bar so I can get to the switch...I thought that one of the bigger connectors up front has the switch wire in it...but not knowing which wires run to the switch...I can't jump the wires there...but getting the top plastic off the bars is stopping me from getting to the switch...Like they say...If its not one thing...it's another...If anyone can help me getting the plastic off the handle bars so I can get to the switch or knows another way to by-pass the Run/Kill switch at a another connection or what color the switch wires are...Please share...Once I find out if its the Run/Kill switch that is prevent spark at the plug...I'll order a new one or install a toggle switch somewhere...Thanks All

     I have used Google and I don't know what applies to mine either...I cleaned the fuel delivery system and put a new battery in it expecting it to fire up...when it didn't I
discovered it had no spark at the plug...With only 1200+ miles on it...I'm lost when it comes to electrical issues...Thanks

    I haven't found the No Spark issue on my 02 ZX50 Super Fever...I was trying to follow a YouTube video on testing for spark on a 50cc scooter...When I was testing my ZX50 I
notice that my engine would turn over regardless if it was on the kill or run setting...This
seems strange to me...if its in the kill position , I would think that it wouldn't let the engine spin if in the kill position...So, I had to ask...is this normal ??? I didn't have much luck trying to follow the how to video...He had a volt meter that beeps and stuff...My meter is an El Cheapo from Walmart or Flea market a friend gave me...He didn't show the setting...so I'm not sure if my meter was set right to test the switch to see if its preventing spark...When the engine turns over regardless of how the switch is set...might be the problem and its not letting the scooter to fire...????  Thanks

     Well...I got a lot of could be this or it could be that...But nothing on how to test these
could be....YouTube here I come...I want to find the part that is preventing spark and replace it or cut my loses...Figuring out to test these parts with a volt meter is the hardest part...Can't find a video with a clear picture of the correct setting they are putting the meter on...I have a El Cheapo Meter from WalMart or Flea Market...Wish me luck...Lol

        As stated above...I used a new spark plug grounded to the engine to look for spark...Also , both the primary and secondary tested good on the coil...I even unscrewed the cap and cut the wire back 1/4" or so...even though it looked fine...no rust or corrosion...I was happy to see the kill switch is working normal...It kills the spark in the off position...it doesn't prevent the engine from cranking...My gut tells me its something simple...I was wondering why this scooter doesn't appear to have a solenoid...It has some type of relay that sets over the battery...could this relay prevent spark if it was bad or malfunctioning...????  Who is the forum's electrical guru...???  Thanks

     I was out fooling with this scooter today...The coil appears to be ok...I'm not one that likes to buy a bunch of parts and switch them out...I like to know what is bad and replace it...Can someone please explain the starting process to me...What's up with pulling on the rear (left) brake handle to get the engine to turn over...Also, even if my kill switch is in the " OFF " position and I pull on the left brake handle the engine will turn over...I thought if the kill switch is in the off position...it would prevent the engine from turning over...Should the kill switch in the off position prevent it from turning over or will it just prevent spark...??? I really need to get this thing running for the old lady...Being 67 yrs old and in poor health here lately...I can't stay out in the heat long...Surely someone will chime in to give a helping hand soon...? Are there any
other forum I should try that have good electrical guys available...????   Thanks
