Bystarter Mystery
Greetings:
It's a heating coil in there so I don't think it matters much. At least id didn't seem to when I was bench testing. Maybe I just got lucky? If so, I'm batting 1000. Check resistance both ways to see if you get a different value. If you do, then it might matter.

Chinese Knock-Off

Yes, that Chinese imitation Keihin will fit. Whether it performs satisfactorily or not is open to question.
Or you could pay about half their asking price, support WHAC*, and be sure of Genuine Honda quality.
Either way, you'll need to source the correct main jet size by locating it at MrCycles.com or your Honda dealer. Part number is 99101-0**0. The stars represent your jet size.
Either carb should otherwise bolt on.

I'm agree with Wheelman - bystarter wires tie to a heating coil, pure resistive circuit. Hook up some wires, check yours out with a meter.
Also - I have one of those clone carbs from wincycles (same seller as you reference). Here's 2 considerations:
1) It may require tuning for your scooter model. Honda carbs ofen have different jets and needles for different models and engines. Take a look at down jets between the Spree/Aero/Elite models. So the carb 'out of the box' may or may not run well on your model.
2) It's internals - float/needle/seat are different than orig honda. Down the road, it could take some looking to replace these parts - or just buy another clone.
