First thing I would check:
See if you are getting power to your coil.
If you have power there, and you aren't getting any spark. You have a bad coil or ignition trouble.
If you aren't getting any power there, you will have to start eliminating things
Check that and post your findings.Then we can help you from there

try taking off the gas cap and see if you hear a whoosh. if you do, the vent in the cap has gone bad. keep it simple.

My last bike did something similar. I found that the coil was arcing through it"s plastic case and grounding out on the coil cover. It was arcing right on the seam where the two halves of the coil meet. I believe it was the Nology plug wires that caused this. I insulated the inside of the coil cover with a thin sheet of rubber.

starter wont cause a running problem.if your now getting just a click that sounds like battery however when you use a jumper wire it turns over.maybe a loose ground wire.check all connections.could be gas cap for the poor running and dying out.check these things and get back to the guys

thanks for the fast response and tips on my scooter...so far I believe the symptoms lead to a relay for the starter to be replaced and the ignition pick up sensor will need to be replaced and upgraded, thanks again for the manual and info ill post updates on my finds and trouble shooting....!!
