Today (after getting the exhaust stuff straightened out and some minor adjustments), I took my scooter out for a test ride. Ran like GOLD until I hit a pothole where it died on me. Now it's not starting, but compression/spark are definitely there! Upon inspection, all VISIBLE major components (carb, airbox, exhaust, CVT components) are intact. What to do, what to do?!?!?  |

check to see if your coil fell off the spark plug

Since you have compression and Spark, how about fuel, the bump in the road could of made the float get stuck in the closed position. So open the drain screw on the carb and crank it and fuel should keep coming out.

Problem Fixed, and it was the Intake Manifold!
The coil was already snug and secured, no problems there.
The carb components were intact. Nothing was loose or cracked, and the needle was in the correct position. The problem was, was that while it seemed to be intact with the intake initially, the clamp screw on the intake manifold popped out, causing it to not create a full seal.
The screw was replaced with a spare, tightened down properly, and it started right back up. Problem SOLVED!
