    PURCHASED A PIAGGIO ZIP 2001 REG 70CC MALOSSI BORE KIT ON IT - ONLY £300

    WHEN I STARTED IT, IT WOULD CUT OUT ON LOW REVS, SO I HAVE TO APPLY ACCELARATION FOR IT TO NOT CUT OUT..

    I WAS GOING FULL THROTTLE, TOP SPEED, THEN IT JUST CUT OUT..

    TOOK 3MINS TO RESTART, LATER ON I WAS GOING FULL THROTTLE, THEN IT CUT OUT AND WOULDNT START AGAIN.. HASNT GOT ANY ELECTRIC START SO I THOUGHT I FLOODED THE ENGINE

    CHANGED SPARK PLUG, TOOK APART THE CARB AND THE CARB LOOKED VERY CLEAN SO IT WASN'T CLOGGED.. WHEN PUTTING BACK THE CARB I THINK I BROKE MY THROTTLE CABLE? (SILLY ME)

    THE OVERALL QUESTION HERE IS.. IS IT MY CDI UNIT THAT IS GONE? HOW CAN I CHECK? THANKS LADS

    Writing in caps is really hard to read. Please try not to.

    Doubt it's your cdi unit. It could be that it isn't jetted correctly and it may have heat seized.

    Cutting out at low revs could just be that the idle screw needs screwing in a bit.

    Sorry guys lol, I won't write in capitals again. I haven't got any spark mate..

    Oh no, I really hope it hasn't heat seized..

    Oh you reckon, alright then, you wouldn't think I need a new carb would you? That would be the worst thing ever. Thanks lads

    Go to user control panel at the top, board preferences then edit posting defaults
