It sounds like you covered all the bases Speedy. The cdi, coil, and stator can all show the same symptoms. You eliminated two of them. Do you have the service manual? Carry an OHM meter w/ you, Before starting the scoot take a base line reading on the stator. You should have 2-3 numbers to watch. AS SOON AS the scoot dies re-read the numbers. You may have a collapsing field inside the windings. I have replaced dozens of stators w/ the same symptoms. Just checking for spark won't cut it as you may still see spark, but it may not be enough to ignite a hot/lean engine. W/ all else you have done this is the only thing left!
UPDATE: Tried the above test which gave mixed results but cast enough doubt for me to go ahead and order a new stator as I had suspected this as the possible culprit from the begining anyway. Stator arrived today and after install, every thing is back the way it should be - easy starts, nice idle and gets to up to speed with no cutting out. ;D
Thanks again for all the tips and advice !

Hmm. Ok I'm having a performance issue myself (slower acceleration, engine cuts often cuts off right after starting up). I did a compression test as well and consistently got 125psi, but the tech manual says it should be around 168psi (11.8kg/cm2). Were you told that 125psi is good compression? I've got an email into my dealer to see if 125psi is a good figure for a People 50 2stroke. I'll post an update once I get that info.

First, welcome to the forum mclordhelmet. Not sure about compression specs on the people 50 2t.

Just a word of advice, this thread is almost a year old. Start a new topic. You'll get a lot more responses and it makes the forum a lot easier to use.

No big deal though. Good luck with your question. Lots of expert advice on here :).
