Air cooled, 49cc, single cylinder, 2-stroke

there is computer model to calc, this using compression ratio and cylinder volume
but
here is generic list.
my lawn mower is 100psi;. (and mopeds and outboard tiny motors and scooters tiny not 250cc hog scooters)
my old car is 150psi
my newer car with high 10:1 CR , is 200psi
a 49cc engine 7.2 CR is like 80psi.
low and expected. at that CR, 100 max
to get the reading correctly
good guage
fast cranked (kicked or starter turned)
let the meter peak and peak is spec. read peak PSI
and the CR is what matters.
and only on a warm engine, warm/hot not cold
cold is way less.
when warm the rings seat, cold they do not.(well)

Please advise going price on a 2nd hand Kymco 500 scooter
Arriving at a fair price for any secondhand vehicle is very difficult and many variables should be considered though in the final analysis anything is only worth what the market will pay - if the seller asks too much the buyer will walk away.
There are many publications providing guide prices for all manner of vehicles - but these are only a guide and some models tend to command higher prices because of a good reputation while other models with a reputation for trouble or high running costs can fall far below.
No vehicle should be bought without a thorough inspection and price adjustments made for faults found and any pending work, taking due consideration of fair wear and tear.
A service history is important but will affect the price only if it can be fully verified by the presence of official invoices and a vehicle should only reach the guide price if the literature pack, the full complement of keys, tools, accessories, etc. is present. The replacement cost of some of the modern keys can be eye-watering so it is important to think ahead.
The presence of local dealer expertise and a spares service is worth a little extra and the absence of a local dealer drives the price down a little.
I hope this helps...

Kymco 700i side by side my dad 80 he uses this every day he went to start it has no spark to the plug he bought new coil still no spark what else could it be
Firstly, I don't know whether the vehicle has an immobiliser or other type of anti-theft or security system but it would be an unusual modern vehicle if it doesn't and if so it might be the cause of the non-starting.
I am not familiar with the model but I expect it has many similarities with most modern vehicles where there is an engine management computer that drives the ignition coil and fuel injection system after processing information from a number of sensors. Replacing components without testing can be expensive and fruitless and unfortunately that needs a measure of experience and some specialised equipment.
