You are a life saver. This is the only video I could find that show's how to wire my specific engine. For the life of me I could not find out where that second connection goes. The one that is coming out of the engine, right next to the stator. I'm guessing that is for a headlight without a battery. Again you helped me so much. I appreciate it brother. Thanks again.

Thanks Mike. I can do all the mechanical stuff but am never confident about wiring. I have been watching you videos for years and just picked up a beat up pit bike, actually actual 2003 Honda xr50 with 125cc lifan type engine. It has no spark, but now I know everything is wired correctly. I will move on to coil and other parts swapping until I get spark.

The stator will have a whip on it, that's half the equation, the pins on the CDI are simple if you study them a little bit, and get a fair grasp of what each pin is for. I would get some nail polish from the dollar store, black red ylw green blue, or better yet buy a pack of assorted wire from amazon/ebay, still need some colored tape or nail polish though for the solid/strip combo identification, to make everything simple down the road when you need to trouble shoot.

Nice video, I saw the spark. This was very informative* thank you. All I had to do was watch this one time and I know what to do now. I get some of my education from KZbin so thanks lol I am about to order the semiauto version because I ordered a jocky shifter for it. I am making a 125cc 4 stroke 4spd cafe chopper bobber bicycle out of a micargi vancouver. I was debating on the 150cc version but meh it is manual and with a jocky shifter Idw to have to worry about the clutch bc then it'll technically be a suicide shifter instead of a jocky shifter so I'll be alright with the 125cc just with aftermarket carburetor, exhaust, sprocket, and throttle cable. And the 150cc manual is really like 20mph more for like 140 more bucks. I think 50-65 on a bicycle is prolly fast enough and 80 might be a little too fast. I thought about it tho but 125cc will be just fine because I am lazy but I like to shift too so the semiauto will allow me to be somewhat lazy and still get to shift. Plus I like that semiauto is N1234 and not 1N234 maybe that's my laziness speaking for me. Weird tho how the 150cc weighs 38lbs and the 125cc weighs 50lbs lol.

( I want to hook it up to a go kart but didn't know if those amazon motors were any good) thank you!!

It’s really hard to diagnose any problems without having the bike in front of me, but it sounds like you have a bad voltage regulator. To power the headlight, run the yellow wire from the voltage regulator to your headlight switch.

Those are your stator wires. They are part of a plate that is behind the flywheel. They are replaceable, you can purchase an entire stator plate that bolts right into place. It’s a fairly easy swap. Pull the flywheel…..remove the two screws that hold the plate on…..install the new plate/wires and reinstall the flywheel.
