Modern Vespa

So I have been reviving a few new but stored away LX50's from the late 2000's lately and I just encountered an issue I want to ask about. I have experienced the faulty restricted CDI/Coil issueas and resolved with an unrestricted a couple times now until today.

I have not run this latest scooter on the road yet but it's an 07 LX50 with 18 miles! I've been going through it and doing all that fun stuff that one does to revive a stored mechanical thing and thought I would just go ahead and install a new unit so I don't get stranded on the side of the road like the last two scooters I revived. Well The scooter starts and runs with the OEM but when I put the new one on she wont fire. Seems like no spark.

Sorry for the ling winded post but if you read this far is there a way to test the CDI coil or are faulty ones that are new kinda common?

The new one is Piaggio and made for the unrestricted market, came in a Piaggio wrapper and the unit itself has some markings:

PIAGGIO100 CDI
YH2008

Does that mean anything? And the connector has a red plastic guide feature that none of the others I installed had and is not the same as the one I took out.

It would appear a different supplier than we usually purchase these from sent us the wrong part. The ones we usually get come from a distributor in Rome who has been on and off lockdown several times over the last year, so we reached out to another company we deal with and asked them to get some for us. Lucky me, I've got about forty of them. I've still got a few of the ones you got the first time, so I'll send you out one tomorrow, if I remember. Monday if I don't and you send me an email asking why I didn't send you one on Friday.
Now I have to figure out what that fits.
If anyone else has the same problem, let me know.
These lockdowns in Italy are hard to figure out. One of the companies I deal with has to shut down for a couple weeks if there's a case within a few blocks, and other companies seem to be able to send the sick employees home and continue on. I think the companies having the most problems are the small ones run by one or two people. I got a big shipment from them on Monday, and haven't heard since, even though I've sent them orders three times since then. Usually it's order in, out the next day. Hopefully everything is fine and they are just on lockdown.

HA! You guys are so top notch. I am such a newb I didn't realize that you were the company I like to deal with! Thanks, I'm happy to send this one back on me or I can do some testing on it before I do but I'm not sure what to test.

I checked and the purple thing in the plug had to come off your bike. It's not on any of the units we have, either new or from previous inventory. Try removing it and plugging the part back in and seeing what happens.

I pulled the plastic part out and tried again. It did come off of the scooters connector. Unit didn't work with it on or off. I put it back on the male connector end.
