I only post when I see someone put up BAD INFO that will throw the guy off and start replacing parts he does not have to. Pare for the course just like a shop would do just replace parts and hope it fixs the problem then hand the bill to the poor soul.
By the way the trick of the trade works at all throttle positions and is better than a PLUG CHOP because a plug chop has to be perfect otherwise the reading of the plug WHICH BY THE way is not always a true reading because it all depends on the temp and how long it was running.
In addition not many know how to read a plug. So the trick of the trade the person then knows right off the bat what the motor needs more or less juice very simple. And he does not have to take the spark plug out which will be red hot and also find a place he can run it for a bit at WOT and suddenly stop and pull over have to consider safety for all concerned.

Alleyoop Let's get back to helping the guy and PLEASE stop with the attitude AGAIN. The same rules apply to you as well and YES AlleyPOOP you can have POOP info too. I posted because of bad info as well.  His condition is for WOT. Anyone can search for plug chop and learn more on their own. There is plenty of information out there. We should also not assume what he can/cannot do as well as his knowledge. In this instance, that is where asking more questions helps as well. Please stop AlleyPOOP. This is not a good example or attitude that should be displayed by a moderator. Let's help the guy. There is more than one way to skin a cat. With years of wrenching on vehicles, there is more than one way to fix/diagnose things. NOW, psychedelicode, do you know if the engine is sputtering or bogging at WOT @45mph? How does it run in partial throttle? etc. |

Just trying to make it easy for the guy, to determine what his motor needs is all. I see your form Illinois maybe you have seen some of my HOTRODS at Joliet Drag Strip or up in Wisconsin DRAG AWAY or if your old enough at US 30 DRAG STRIP in INDIANA. You see I have been building Hotrod motors for DECADES so yes I am a very savvy wrencher and these 1 cylinder put puts are very simple, to me anyway.
So I try to help the folks on here with some of the most common problems the scoots have and is why I posted a lot of stuff on the TIPS and Tricks thread. Gets tiring typing the same things over and over for the most common and basic problems with motors and cvts.

That is their decision. Lets get back to helping the guy. This thread is not about you. |

It has actually progessed to happening at 1/2 throttle now. I swapped the carb with the old one but the result is the same.
I started popping the inline fuse too.

I think that it may indeed be something electrical. If swapping the carb with a known good carb. Re jetting too did not work, the problem is getting worse, and adjustig the valves did diddly. Where should i begin the electrical diagnosis?

Maybe your spark plug boot's guts are shot. Mine was cutting out at lower/mid speeds, pumped the gas a few times(while cruising) and ran fine again like nothing ever happened(besides harder starting). Found out that it burnt a hole right through the resistor cap in the boot--- not even sure if the spring and resistor were even in there after I pulled the boot off. Luckily, I had a brand new spare off a new coil.
Take the boot off the plug and look down in it---if you see a hole in there get a new boot. Worth a shot and only takes two seconds.
Although your fuses popping leads me to believe it's something else.

Pretty sure its an electrical problem. I left it idling for 10 minutes, came back and smoke was coming from everywhere! Lots of melted wiring. I dont feel like buildong a new harness. I think im going to sell the motor.

You have went too far to back out on it, these things can be revived as you know it will work out, takes time and aggravation  |
