I am wondering does 04 super 9 lc take dc cdi of ac its original one is dark redish with rev limiter wire that you can disconnect its a bigger cdi box
Thanks

All Kymcos use DC based cdi ignition. The large box gives this away, big cdi=dc small cdi=ac.

But an orange aftermarket AC CDI will work on the S9. I ran one for a while

Not all Kymco scooters use a DC based ignition. The air cooled Super 9 uses AC. Liquid cooled uses DC. Between the two, the stator, flywheel and CDI are different amongst other things (Harness, ignition switch wires, etc)
The old LC Super 9 CDI is pretty good. If it's working well with the rev-limit wire unplugged, I wouldn't bother changing it as you will likely see no real benefit.

So, with 2003 Super 9 LC, which you say is DC ignition, you have to have a charged battery to have spark? I thought I could run it without a battery, but no spark. Put in a fresh battery and it runs. If I had know this, would have saved my a lot of trouble.

I rode my 2005 with a dead battery from the shop. No signals, but otherwise was fine. Did you have any battery hooked up while trying?

When I originally got scooter, battery was dead. I took out the battery, pulled the carb and cleaned it. I put back in the carb and tried to start w/out the battery and no spark. Later I got the battery I ordered, installed it, and had spark. Now I don't think anything was really wrong with the scooter except dead battery,and clogged carb.
No worries, I learned a lot about my scooter, and like it more than ever. I still haven't ridden it yet, I am still putting on the plastic, getting it all back together. Maybe ride tomorrow, but weather is cold.
