Taotao 50cc scoot this time. needs more than a thumb

Well I have another 50cc to fix. This one came with a leaking carb and no spark.

The red/black wire from the stator to the CDI had been pinched in the frame. Repaired that and then stick no spark. I suspected the CDI, but din't have a spare so I tried another coil. Got spark.

Yesterday no carb, CDI, and coil arrive. Put it all together take it for a ride. Rode about 1/4 mile and it died. Restarted by difficult. Then no spark at all again.

Tried swapping coils, cdi, still nothing.

Tested stator 81VAC at CDI. Nothing at coil.

Tested trigger/pickup coil. 0.1VAC This is my suspect. Reading says I need at least 0.5VAC to trigger the CDI.

So now it looks like I need to replace the trigger coil and stator.

Found some good help over here.
