yes, they were known to go bad .
there is a special tool to remove the flywheel
look for a
27mm X 1mm FLYWHEEL/ROTOR REMOVAL TOOL
 i think thats the one but just make sure its for morini

oilyhans
thanks will order one now
any tips on where to find a replacement 8 coil stator for this model?
peaking through my flywheel i can see it’s got 8 coils however i can only find 4 coil replacement stators online.

if you do not have the fuse connected it will not start.
if the fuse has blown it will not start.

 it is possible that the stator is bad but  but seeing the picture  of the
fuse holder not connected i suspect that is your issue

also since i do not know your skill level , so bear with me.
since you cleaned the carb did you set all the adjustment screws back correctly?
these scooters are a bit touchy when it comes to carb settings

Hi oilyhans
the main fuse is connected
the picture that I showed before was not the main fuse
see attached pic
the red cable is the main fuse and the other one i don't know what that is but it wasnt connected to anything when i bought the bike


and I am 100% not seeing spark so i'm going to replace the stator given its a 2006 and the stator was known to be defective for this model year

Ok this scooter is starting to drive me a little crazy
It just will not start at all.
Things I have done so far:
Cleaned the carby with carby cleaner and compressed air (multiple times)
Cleaned out the fuel lines
Cleaned air filter
Replaced fuel filter
Replaced spark plug
Checked the auto choke (ok)
Tested ignition coil with a multimeter (seems ok)

Things I know for certain:
It is getting fuel
The battery is charged
I can't see any spark in the spark plug when I pull it out and ground it against the body and crank it over with the starter. I should, right?

Since I'm not seeing spark... Could it be the Stator?

Please help!
