checking in from Boise, ID.
Can't believe I haven't came across this forum before. Simply because I have owned several Chinese pit bikes and scooters. But i guess parts were easier to find then they are for my newest purchase 2006 zongshen sierra 200 bought from original owner and has 5514 miles and the infamous "no spark".
So you will see me posting asking for help I have already did a bunch of reading and found lots of good info. So wish me luck on my new toy. |

Welcome. No spark. Most likely a failed CDI.

Welcome! You live in a terrific, free State. I enjoy visiting Idaho, and I really like the Craters of the Moon National Park.
Glad you found us. We'll certainly be able to help you find the parts you need, and SpudRider (a fellow Idahoan) is the Master of the Zong.

Welcome! This makes several Idahoans!! Have any of you guys been to Fire Dog Racing in Meridian? I know he introduced himself and his dealer a month or so ago, but not sure where Meridian, Idaho, so could be hundreds of miles away.

It depends on how it's shipped. I normally place a large order, so it takes Taobao Trends a couple weeks to get everything in. Once they ship it, I have received it in as long as 10 days (by EMS) and as little as three days (by DHL).

Welcome fellow Idahoan, and fellow Zongite.
I'm glad you ordered the items from Taobao. I also see you contacted SamM, who is parting out his Zong. I'm sorry I missed your second private message; my inbox was full. I have since deleted some old messages to make some room in my inbox.
