2007 Speedee 150 - Rebuild and Rehab

[tankme]

Hmm, ok then good, I had read a couple of "upgrade your atv performance" type posts in my initial research of them and the carb was something that was suggested as a replacement. And this ATV has already had the electric throttle wires replaced as it's way newer than the rest of the wiring harness. If it's not needed really for jet replacement ease, bigger barrel etc then I'll leave it. Hurray one less thing!

Thanks!

Ok so speaking of upgrades and the CDI. The one on this bike has a wire missing, I think. Does this mean something? Like it was just removed or was it never there? I am still learning what is normal and what's not. Is this CDI/wiring normal?

Thanks!

That motorfans link was cool, those types of posts always teach me how fearless to be with stuff. Very cool.

Thanks HB

That wire typically goes to a kill switch, but your quad might be wired to simply cut power. Don't worry about it for now.

Ok, is a kill switch typically found on an ATV like a bike? On the Zong it's on the right handlebar, where is it on ATVs? Having one for the wife on the handlebar she can mash if she panics might be good forethought.

At the moment I am following the 12v current through the wiring harness having some good luck patching things here and there getting closer to a start.

I am also going to post the pic of the left controls as well for some help on what everything does-or did.

For what's up with the CDI--I'll see if I can pull any markings off of it [CDI] to see if it is a DC model. It's be replaced with a better one either way but I am concerned if there's a wire missing from the harness for this. What's the purpose of having a DC CDI vs an AC CDI anyway?

I'll totally ignore it for now, I just need to get hers going, and order a fresh harness that'll take it's time getting here.

Thanks!!
Jim
