I replaced my ignition coil after getting 20 ohms on the resistance per analogue multimeter. After replacement it remains around 20. Is the problem in the CDI unit?
-
Where are you getting the 20 ohm reading? Did you replace the cap/boot also?
-
Sorry. I rechecked it just now (2:12 pm cst) and got 1 from prong to prong on the coil and 8 from sparkplug cap to either prong on the coil. Also, I checked the fuel. I disconnected the line at the carburetor and cranked a few times; but no fuel. Does that sound right? I had excellent from the tank to the filter/pump.
-
Your coil should be good then. Unhook your vacuum line and suck on it to see if any fuel comes out the other line.
-
Fuel ran out of the line from the filter/pump. I cleaned the carburetor and hooked it back up. I didn't see any broken pieces or chunks of dirt. Do I need to prime the carburetor?
This honey died on me at a stoplight. I had been adjusting the idle/air earlier, but it had always started. I replaced the sparkplug.
-
You can prime the carb by sucking on the vacuum line. That will fill the bowl, otherwise it should do on it's own after cranking for a few.

Sorry, I got busy with my job. I tried to start it until I had to re-charge the battery. It still doesn't sound like it is getting a spark. I rechecked the gap on the sparkplug and adjusted the idle and air on the carburetor slightly - each one 1/2 turn at a time. Is there some other way it would just cut off? When the kill switch is engaged - doesn't that cut off the electricity?
-
sounds like the same problem I had when I got the scoot out of storage. I did the same thing you did with taking the carb off and just clearing out the jets. It took a long time of kicking before it started, seriously like a straight minute of constant kicking to get it to start. I would try changing the spark plug and just keep trying to kick start it. I would have to kick it like 10 times in a row before it would start, but now I replaced my battery so I don't have to kick start it any more (at least for a while anyway).
Good luck.
