ARGH!!!! Hooked up a 220CCA battery and still no go. Tore it down and put the extra base gasket in and turned it over by hand a few times since it's late and dont want to wake the neighbors. Compression still feels really high. I'll hook the battery back up in the morning and see how it goes but it really doesn't feel much different.  iicr millsc also had to upgrade the wire to get his to work. Yeah thats true,, Pulling all those amps in a small wire will just melt the insulation off the wire and cause more issues...I would upgrade the main wires going from the battery to the starter and ground to atleast 6-10 gauge..you figure 12 gauge is only good for maybe 25 amps..lol..and the longer the run he more resistance. |

Compression will lower the more miles you put on it, I had to upgrade the power wire and ground. I also grounded the starter right to the battery.

I ran bigger combustion heads and two base gaskets with my 52mm kits I tried the stock head with the domed 52mm kit and had the same issue. Be careful kick starting I busted my CVT cover on one with the high compression. If the wires don't work your gonna need a head with at least a 44mm combustion chamber I ran a 50mm combustion chamber big valve head.

millsc I thought you ran a stock head that caused the high compression? I'll upgrade the gauge on my wires.

On my 50s I ran stock heads with the airsal kits, ran big valve 50mm combustion chambered heads on my 52mm kits and two base gaskets.

Buford does special things to the heads which sadly you can't buy anymore, my scooter has one of the last ones made by Buford. Hopefully he starts up on his own, buford if you do let me know I can help set up a website. Mine is even coated and keeps my oil cleaner for longer.
