Fuse blows every time I attempt to kick start
« on: May 31, 2014, 09:52:41 AM »
Just bought a new Cdi unit, and fitted it and tried starting still nothing, tried kick starting still nothing. Then checked the fuses and one was broke so I fitted a new one and tried to kick start again, but every time I trie to kick start it the fuse blows and when I put a new fuse in and trie electric starting, it won't start,

Any ideas?

It sounds like a short in the wiring. Why exactly did you buy a new CDI? No Start?

Check the ground that attaches to the engine first.Then try unplugging all the harnesses one at a time untill you stop blowing fuses. From there you should be able to find where the short is. My first guess is the Light Controller behind the front cowl.

Hi

Exactly your CDI can perhaps fit for your Kymco but be sure that

Its a DC CDI and not an AC CDI

Ask to the dealer for the pin connections so you can wire it correctly

Bye
