Definitely. I check it regularly.. it's very consistent.. always same speed and RPMs. It's something electrical for sure

Lots of people use aftermarket CDIs and their base timing ends up there, but they start and run regularly. That shouldn't prevent it from starting, but it may make exaggerate any other issues. I'm afraid info get an adjustable cdi its going to adjust the timing at WOT as well. Is there any reliable source that sells stock cdi's? If you got one working one laying around ill pay you for it. Not having a running scooter is costing me a lot of time and money atm. And I need a reliable start for the winter

I think all I've got are the aftermarkets that I bought for the TaoTao to test as spares ATM. All advance at idle.
Places like PFS or Scrappy are likely to sell the same product every time. They may be able to tell you if they advance a lot at idle or not. Can't hurt to ask them.

Question for you admin..
If I were to elongate the holes on my pickup.. Will i be able to compensate... or change.. the amount t of advance I am getting from the cdi?
I guess I'm asking... how many degrees of advance are we getting from cdis? I would rather be able to tune or adjust accordingly using the few degrees from my pickup than put in different cdis.
Thoughts?

Hes actually dont it before. Its in his video where he test the different cdi s.
In other news The only ones that are advertised as having the stock curve are the dc fired patients. I have a dc stator that I ordered by accident I'm going to modify it to do the full wave mod and put that in with the new cdi. Hopefully this will give my engine the push it needs to get started and hopefully I can fix w.e. might be off then.

If the spark image is correct, the timing is advanced beyond what would be 'normal', which should be at the "F" mark. IOW, the spark it happening before the crankshaft gets to the firing point. You can elongate the pickup coil mounting bracket holes to move the pickup. To move the firing towards the "F", you would move the pickup rightward, towards the front. That would make it 'appear' to pick up the firing signal a bit later. When you make changes, it is sometimes a good idea to make one at a time. If the change is for the worse, you know it was the LAST CHANGE that caused the problem, and you have an idea of what to back off. Put everything back to where it would run and start readily, and add one change at a time, adjust goals accordingly. tom
