With what you're describing I would start by inspecting the CDI module, it should be the 2 plug I think 8 pin style. Honestly, you can get a performance replacement coil, CDI and plug for $15 on Amazon, just search Honda CN250 performance CDI, it may be worth it to just replace them and see if that fixes the problem. Worst case is you have spares now. I suggest this because (in my experience with other scooters) the CDI controls the auto choke, when the CDI starts failing you'll experience issues with the auto choke and/or spark advanced. I have a very similar issue with my Linhai, the CDI failed and I replaced it with the wrong one, the spark advanced causes late and pre detonation as well as it doesn't actuate the choke.

Thank casey,
I will definitely check the CDI. I can source one locally.
Will post once I have replaced the CDI.
