I think either it's the cdi or you have 'load'( possible short ) on the wiring someplace that is causing the problem
try this test..
unhook the battery ( or remove the diode and fuse )
remove your light bulbs
unplug the headlight ..
now try to start the scoot, IF it runs it means the problem is short in the wiring or batttery..if it doesn't run check the voltage at the blue/yel from the motor and again where it hooks to the coil..
for the first test at the motor you can unplug the wire..
for the second test you can test with the cdi plugged in
remember do not kick the motor with cdi hooked up and the coil unplugged from the cdi..
to test the cdi you must unplug it and use a meter on OHMS,, on the bench .. NO power ..you have to read between the different connections..
there is post on here someplace detailing that..
the cdi is more likely to fail than the magneto winding..
