Welcome to the board!

great price on the bike, when you say points, like the points in behind the stator? or points like oh, the coil, thats a key point to an engine?

either way, i think i would chek the coil, spark plug, and your electricls

JW125M - nothings that hard to fix if you have a manual, read it thoroughly, take your time and don't rush. (By the way, replacing a stator is an easy task) Look through the classifieds here or look on eBay.

I Feel Stupid, For Some Reason I Didn't See That About The Year Of Bike :oops: .
And Yes Its Very Easy To Replace A Stator....As The Manual Goes...I Got Mine From ebay
It Only Cost Me $5.00 + $3.50 Shipping
