Title: Kymco xciting 500 no spark
Post by: Jackk525 on February 21, 2024, 08:00:40 PM

hi,

Can someone help me.  I have a 2012 kymco xciting 500. I have been looking for a fault for over a year.  Engine has no spark.  I replaced the stator and ignition coil.  i replaced the CDI computer.  The engine ran for 10 minutes and then had no spark again.  Maybe someone knows where else to look for the error. 

Thanks for the help

@Jackk525 welcome here!
As you might already know our 500i's are prone to start probs.

I would start with basics.
-kill switch ON/OFF?
-sidestand switch in working order?
-brakelight on when lever pulled?
-all connectors really tight?
-groundcable from battery minus to motor in order?
-all pins in your ECU connector straight?
-this two thin cables to your coil conductive and tight?

-take jump cables and connect your scoots batt to a cars battery or any other known healthy big battery
(car idles and headlights on)
-try to start, YES/NO

-multimeter: unplug two cables TO coil, start, DO we have voltage UNTIL here?

-if yes, your scoots batt or coil is shot
-if no, take a NEW sparkplug, NEW sparkplug cap
-long sparkplug cap really tight on plug?

TEST: sparkplug cap OFF, new plug into cap, starting, is there a spark? (plug tread on ground)
-yes/no

-if no, unplug/plug the rectifiers TWO connectors
-jumpstart battery, start..
-yes/no

Q? Came the new coil with a cable and cap or just the coil?
Qs: pls come back to ask
