    Hi all,

    I have a vespa GT 125LC there is no spark.

    The workshop manual says to check the pickup voltage when cranking over the engine and should be greater than 2v.

    I would assume AC but manual says DC.. on DC it's about 0.3v AC I can't remember but nowhere near 2v. This is tested directly on a new and old stator and pickup.

    Any tips greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.
