First: It work fine the other day. Next day would not start. I can't start it by kick start either. I'm going to try checking for spark. Also how could I test the en richer. I thought it was the starter but it turns the Bendix. Not sure what it could be. Any ideas.
Update: Question: if my stator is bad, is there a way to start my scooter? can someone post how to test the stator correctly? i think I'm not doing it right and videos i have watched are confusing. I have tested it, think it is good, but I'm going to retest it now and post the results. Also I have a new carburetor, fuel valve, spark plug & coil. I have good compression, valves are in spec. cleaned starter out and it works great. I try to start it and turns over just will not start and the battery dies 15 Min's later from trying to start it up. Seems like the stator to me after all the trouble shooting I have done, also what about the regulator/rectifier could it be that I have tested that as well and think its good. Ordered the wrong regulator, gotta send this one back for the right one which I will probably have coming with a new stator. Can some one please help with instructions on testing the stator? So I can be 100% sure this is it, my baby been down 2 weeks now, but hey I learned a lot and didn't put any $ in a mechanics pocket!
Final Update: I just spoke with the mechanic, its appears my problem is bad rings. I should of ran a real compression test, but anyways lesson learned. Next time or for anybody with a similar problem check compression and if you got to open her up. I would do it my self but he's already got it and I've never done it before, but after downloading an reading on how to do it, its not hard, but you do have to be careful you don't mess anything up. Also I was unsure of what size Big Bore Kit he installed when I bought it, he said the 100cc but these are mislabeled from what I have researched. Well I am about to order a performance muffler and carburetor, which he recommended, I asked him about upgrading. Question to anyone, If your replacing rings, what else should you also replace?
