I have a 139qmb longcase with a 100cc bbk, a9 cam, cdi, open air filter, a new 9amp battery ( the original was a 4 amp )
About 2 months ago the belt broke and I recently replaced it and adjusted the valves. I forgot to hook the ground wire up to the valve cover and it wouldn't start. After all this the scooter doesn't want to start sometimes using the starter switch. The starter motor doesn't make a loud click noise like it use to ( the starter is brand new ) when I press the starter switch. Sometimes the starter doesn't even spin and I have to use the kickstart to start it.
My scooter lost all power while I was driving it a few days ago. I twisted the throttle and nothing happened. It was like the battery died.
About a week before this happened I dropped a spark plug into the heat shroud and forgot about it. The next time I drove it over a railroad crossing my scooter started to make a horrible whining noise because the loose spark plug I had forgotten about got lodged in the fan and nicked up the plastic blades. I removed the spark plug. There were a few scratches and nicks in the fan shroud area on both the plastic and metal areas. I noticed the magnet had some scratches on it from the spark plug rattling around.
My scooter wont start now. When I turn the key to the on position the gas gauge needle works. I have tried to start it with both the ignition switch and the kickstart.
-The starter works. It spins when I press the ignition but engine doesn't fire up.
-the battery is charged
-Ive got spark and gas and compression
Ive been wanting to upgrade the stator from a 6 pole to an 8 pole because I upgraded to 35w H4 lightbulbs and the lights are very dim at lower rpms.
Has anyone had the same type of trouble from leaving a sparkplug in the fan shroud area?
I have a multimeter.
