On the fuel injected Vespas, the ECU is built into the throttle body and is part of the immobilizer system. It's electronically paired to your red (master) and blue keys. If it's dead, there's more to it than swapping parts. Also, those units are not cheap.

I'd recommend posting the issue you're experiencing on Modern Vespa; there are folks there who will have more familiarity with the ECU/immobilizer system.
At what point does a hobby become an addiction? I'm uncertain, but after the twelfth scooter, it sorta feels like the latter...

Seriously...I've lost count...

Seven mopeds ...that's still manageable...

Thanks for the help, I drilled a new hole in the blue key and now the bike won't start I haven't got a brown key a guy from Australian Motorcycle Key & Odometer Reprogramming said he can make a new key with the CDI.
