Well, I couldn't resist, when I got home from work this morning I pulled the scoot apart and tried the CDI. No good, nothing, dead as a maggot. Now for the good news, it didn't damage anything so that is a bonus. Tried and failed, but as they say, nothing ventured, nothing gained. I will try with another one, I am sure I will find something sooner or later.

  You need a good diagram for the cdi. I think you just need to swap a  wire or 2. The zx and dio are vary similare. I got one barried in the shed(Dio) if i can get to it i'll try to get some pics for you,but i'm just to busy getting thing ready for winter right now.

Nah, no need. Using the pinout I got for the Dio, I hooked it up using the ZX manual. The Dio's wiring is the same colour code as the ZX, just that this CDI had different coloured wires, (after market). I am now questioning wether the CDI might be damaged, because when I first got it, I tested it according to the ZX manual and got no readings at all. Won't stop me trying though. :)

  ;D  ;) Ya thats what you need is a diag. of the cdi. Back when i got the people all said just cut the green wire  :P It was the main wire to the ignition You get nothing if you do it. So a simple swap may do the job if you knew what all did. Of coarse the box do have to work first  ;)

Hey art, from what you see here I know nothing about CDI's, but I am trying to learn. I bought a new digital multi meter to test it, but got no readings. I have just pulled out my old analogue meter and have got readings. Now, I am not sure, but I think I may have worked out which wire goes where. Not bad, 1 hour after putting scoot back together. :) If I get time tomorrow, I will try it again. I think that pinout he gave me was wrong, I reckon I had the ignition coil wire going to the off switch and off switch wire going to the ignition coil.

  Thats what I was thinking(wires miss pinned). I suck at electronics, It's my week spot  :D I swap stuff till it works or burns  :o Lucky I have a friend that can read diag and give me a hand when really stuck. But if that cdi works for a dio it should work for the zx better than the modded one.
