Back to this POS TaoTao 125. It now hasn’t run in about a month, no spark. It quit while driving. Coil tested bad, no continuity from either pole to the wire end. Replaced coil, no change. Checked for volts at the plugs for the coil, no voltage while engine spinning over, swapped CDI with a known good one, as well as Voltage regulator with a known good one. Tested stator and found bad. Remove cover and stator smelled burnt. Replaced stator/pickup, no change. Bypassed all kill switches, no change.

I’m about ready to just throw this damn thing away because all components with ignition system test good, it should spark but doesn’t.

What am I missing here?
