I have finally found the problem with my ET$. It looks like I screwed up the CDI connector. I would love to pull the pin and get it right but I have no clue how to get these pins out. I tried finding the tang and its not there. I have found the connector here: www.amazon.com/Kuryakyn-4832-8-Pin-Hardwire-Adapter/dp/B0022ZOOKS but it only has 5 wires connected and I need 7. Here are pictures of my connector:   If any one knows how to get these out it would be great. |

Looking at the connector I think the connector pops open in some way. I went ahead and ordered the one from Amazon that I'll be able to explore a bit and see what's what.

Sometimes it takes a magnifying glass and some probing but they always come apart unless they have been potted with urethane or epoxy, usually a military or aerospace process.

My hand was feeling up to working on this and I got the new connector. The problem with it is that it was only 5 wires and no spades for the others. There is definitely a problem with the connector because the scoot will start and run until I lightly touch the connector. It could be the CDI but those pins are all tight. I figured out how to get them out of the new one but the old one is a different story. I managed to find the connector and spades from a manufacturer and have them on order. I'll have the new connector Wednesday and be able to put it together.

Be sure to inspect the wire to terminal crimp connections. I've had issues where the wire had been stripped horribly and the terminals were crimped on insulation instead of conductor. A wire can break and only be held together by the insulation. A light pull is a good idea. Look for the insulation doing a hour glass stretch across a break.
The pin to pin to pin contact is a given but make sure the connector is actually locking closed and allowing some slack in the wire harness. I've seen where a too tight wire harness pulls on the pins and gets sketchy.

Sunday my hand was feeling up too stripping and crimping the new tabs and connector. It suggested I use an Amp crimping tool, I opted for a small pair of needle nose pliers. I was able to get them all crimped and in the connector. The scoot started right up. I took it for a ride and allows good. I rode it to work today and went home the long way. I really missed this scooter. It just handles so well and I always get looks when I'm on it.

Using the wrong tool on crimps is a mistake.
