hey guys, I have a bit of a problem. my scooter wouldn't start the end of last season and it was nice out yesterday so I tried to work on it. it's getting fuel (I assume because I self chocked it and I had fuel on my hand when I took it away....but not on the spark plug). It's getting a nice strong blue spark, I rechecked the valves and the exhaust was a little tight but I put it back into spec (0.003). and it's got decent compression...didn't do an actual number check but I could feel it/hear it with the plug out.
I don't know what else to check, would it still spark if the cdi/stator was bad?
But what's really getting me is that it ran perfectly fine one day and I took it for like a 30 miles ride and then I went to start it the next day and it would just crank until the battery died. what could make it just die out of no where, it only has 350 miles on it.
any help would be great
thanks
Bob
