Yes, this is a common thing to do on some of the older 2t engines. Build a test stand and let her rip! BTW, you will get more advice for your scoot on the NSM side.

At a minimum, you must have the red wire off the stator firmly secured to the long yellow wire coming off the HT coil. The points must also be correctly gapped and open at its widest point to .4mm.

If you don't know how to adjust your points, go on YouTube and search. That will explain better than me typing out instructions.

You can also check this website for helpful explanations.
