The set up and color are different. It looks like they changed internet hosts or something. What is the "Simple Machines Forum" logo in the upper right corner?

 I saw their (FBC) AK550 on cycletrader. It was a bit far for me to check out. There was another listed in Bellflower, but it was gone when I went to look at it. Continuing reviews are appreciated.

That's a nice BV.

 The ignition coil arrived on Thursday. I installed it that night, fired it up and went for a 20 mile ride. No problems at that point.
 I figured that while everything was taken apart, I would clean out the engine area and variator/ clutch. I put everything back together this morning. I washed and waxed it until it sparkled. I rode it for almost 40 miles without a hitch. Knock on Chinese plastic, everything looks good.
 At this point , it looks good. Thank you all for the help.

I received an email yesterday that my new coil has shipped. I should receive it next week.

 I hope not. I ordered my ignition coil through them two weeks ago. I used the parts fiche on their website. I will check my order status.

I second what Stig said. The Downtown coil primary is ranged between 3.5 to 4.8 ohms, secondary between 10.4 to 14.5 KILO ohms. Your 21 M is assumed to be 21 MEGOHMS which is good enough as insulation!
Since Kymco construction logic is quite similar, model to model the common test point should be, according to the service manual for the DT300i, is one of the skinny wire terminals and the other skinny wire terminal will be the other end of the primary. Then the secondary will be the common and the plug wire. Procedure would be the ohmmeter on the plug wire and either skinny wire terminal. The readings will be nearly identical since the primary is so few ohms.
Should you get a service manual, be aware there are many mistakes and misinformation in all of them. Just for example, the black and white circuit in the troubleshooting section for the DT has an error in the coil wiring. The colored wiring diagram is correct for the coil. The colored wiring diagram is NOT part of the service manual!


I have the online Cyclepedia manual that I am referring to.
 That makes sense. The 21M ohms is Megohms. Which i realize could be the grease on my hands or any other matter.
 If i am remembering my electrical 101 classes regarding transformers, I should read resistance to ground from the plug wire or output terminal, which i dont. ( even after scraping the paint off the mounting points of the transformer. )

 I tried checking resistance between the plug connector and the primary wires, as well as to ground. On one meter i measueed 21M ohms between plug wire and primary terminals. It didnt seem right. 
 On a brighter note, it wasnt as difficult as i thought it would be to remove the plastics covering the entire back of the bike.
