CDI and Electric Start

[axy]

I can't count the times that I have been able to solve similar situations with electrical and electronic circuits using TV tuner/control cleaner and lubricant (spray can....$11 at your local Radio Shack store) for friends and relatives who were ready to toss in the towel...The can I have now has lasted for many years (just a quick spritz will do it.....and a little patience,because it takes a minute or two to work)
And because it is a spray you can aim it into and through tight areas without disconecting or removing a lot of casing, etc.
To avoid the problem to begin with (also) use WD-40 to dispel water and moisture in corrosion sensitive areas.....especially if the scoot is stored outside.

Using WD 40 and similar stuff often resolves issues, but also creates new down the road, because it washes away grease lubricant inside many mechanical parts.

I use wd as a grease/grime remover, but you definitely have to be careful were you spray it.
As far as electrical connections go wd is great at expelling water and has no problem conducting electricity. 
I believe I have a faulty component which wd won't really help with.
I got a knockoff startswitch/headlight assembly for 9.9 euros, hope this is the fix.
Thanks to AXY i have a manual and will be disassembling the steering colom this weekend to replace

Electric starter is working great....Thanks for all the help you guys/girls.
AXY the manual was priceless, without it i would have never figured out the start switch itself had gone bad.

AXY....You are right, and I should have made it clear where WD40 should not be sprayed.
Owning my own home and needing to be handy with repairs to save money I do use a number of different kinds and weights of lubs.  It just makes good sense to be up on what todays market has to offer.  A few pennies worth of lub ahead of time can save you a lot of problems later on............Cheers
