I have put my scooter back together after swapping out the valves of my gy6. I have found that the spark I am getting when I pull the plug comes as one bright spark and then a constant flickering of very small arcs. Nothing that would indicate any form of correlation with a stroke. I turn the starter over by bipassing the solenoid with a screwdriver so it turns and I get spark but as I said it shows a good spark and then a steady floww of little tiny sparks as I turn the starter. any help would be very appreciated.

Does it do the same thing when you kick it? Is the battery fully charged

with the kick it looks like a better spark. I am not sure at what frequency the spark should be going. shouldn't it be one flash per stroke per compression stroke? it sparks awfully fast for me just doing a kick... as you can tell I don't entirely know my stuff about that... i use the car battery for all this just to make sure...

Is the scoot not running? Just put it in and see if it works.

Compression is good? Cover the spark plug hole with your thumb and hold it there with all your might if you can hold it there while cranking the engine its too low if its something else. Check the ground to the engine. Check your timing. In that order

Put a straw through the spark plug hole a long one. Move the engine with the valve cover off and watch the straws movement when it reaches its highest point you are at TDC. Now check your cam and make sure the marks on it indicate TDC too.
