Where does voltage from the back of the coil come from on my scooter?

by Edward
(Massillon, OH)

I have an XY 150 scooter... should there be 12 volts at the back of the coil detectable with a test light? If so, did I trace the wire correctly up to under the dash panel?


Would run for approx 30 sec. then shut off until now there is no spark when cranking. I put a 12v wire to the coil and it popped (let the smoke out!). Help, Thank You, Ed

My XY150 did the same thing. Your cdi is bad.The 12v wire you tried to add may have blown a fuse also.

Stator

As I hear it the voltage comes from the stator to the CDI unit to the coil. I'm not certain how much voltage but it sounds like you have a bad CDI unit.

Battery Tender Junior in package

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.

Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.

One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.

Read our review or go right to Amazon.com to buy this highly recommended Battery Tender Jr NOW...
