i have a 125 and i am having the same problems as you
here are some ideas which might be causing no spark
bad spark plug
Fault with ignition switch or ignition switch wire which goes to cdi
Faulty CDI
if the bike has been bashed on the side the magneto mag might be damaged or the pulse coil this is what controls the spark timing like a rota arm in a car
hope this helps
one more thing is the remote starter this must have a wire to the cdi also
and also i'd test the volt regulator

Did you actually receive a scooter UPSIDE DOWN! Who did you get your scoot from?
It sounds like the problem is with the alarm and remote start unit.

the first scooter i got upside down but sent it back.The second scooter just wont fire.it turns over ok with electric and remote start just wont start..Yeh got it from killat at inersia..Have offered to return it myself but want the replacement to be registered and going to cover my fuel and time but they wont do it .was told to take it to garage.Surely ive got rights as its brand new and aint goin.I can have it replaced at my cost or return it at my cost..seems like everythings at my cost..blokes been helpful but that aint going to get it started.3 weeks after ordering im further from when i started.I bought a new car october and if that didnt go when i got it they would have sorted it so whats the difference.. #WTF# #WTF#

#rofl# should have took apicture of it you could have had a laugh..HOW TO TRANSPORT A SCOOTER.Took it out of the box and it was like a bar of soap covered in oil..The funny bit was when the driver put it back on his lorry..Chucked it on then dragged it to the front by its back wheel and threw it on its side.Didnt even strap it in..Then he just drove of down the road #4# #dancing_man# #oops#

get on the phone to the guy and say
you paid money for a working scooter
1 you want your money back 2 you will have to come collect your pile of junk
what can the guy say if he trys to blag it just say it does not work i did not pay for faulty goods the scooter does not work
if he gets annoyed the report him to paypal if you got it off ebay and you will get most of your cash back off them

Remote start
there is a wire which goes from the ignition swith to the cdi not linked to the starter
with a remote start there must be a wire going to the cdi from this the starter would turn over but no spark

he says theres nothing wrong with it because it worked when it left the factory..Its come a long way sice then.He thinks i just blagging a refund where as i just want a bike that works..Another thing is if most of these bikes are the same with different names why dont 99percent of the insurnce companies list mine ..hada quote for 120 quid fpft..Any good for a scooter cos im 35 with bike and car licence and only paid 89 for my yam xj600..its a jmstar solana 50. #hammer#
