New Scoot - cant get to start  By  natedoggaz (Read 2,721 times)

OK - have some new developments...

I purchased a new coil and it arrived today. Was an orange coil and is supposed to provide the plug with a larger spark...

I also purchased a new CDI and intake which Should arrive by next week. (I love how cheap these parts are!)

I also re-adjusted my valves...they were WAY off. Maybe I just did then wrong last time... I used the "T" mark instead of the 3 holes on the sprocket last time, now I just used the 3 holes on the sprocket for TDC.

I also changed out the oil and put in synthetic. The oil level was extremely low too.

After all this I tried to start it. The muffler blows are out a lot harder, and the carb sucks in air much more forceful too!

The engine even popped a few times, I sprayed in some carb cleaner in the intake vacuum inlet and it popped some more.

Now I see another issue. There is a big oil leak coming down from what looks like where the muffler connects to the engine. It is dripping from everywhere it seems, but mainly right at the exhaust port.

Could that be a blown head gasket possibly - if not what could it be?

Thanks!
