Another thing to check is the oil pump. If the oil was really low , the oil pump could have burned up causing the scoot to overheat even more. It only takes seconds for the oil pump to go burn up . my scoot fell over when I hit the deer and the scoot ran for seconds with no oil , and it burned up. Luckily I had a temp gauge and noticed it right away. Oil pump is very easy to check. Take thavalve cover off . make sure the scoot has oil, and turn the scoot over . oil should flow to the cam and rockers if the oil pump is working.

I forgot to check that when the engine was still together but I did order a new pump and I'm going to watch a video on how to install it. |

I strongly suggest a temp gauge. If this was caused by running low on oil , your temps would have been raised. Let us know your results after your able to do the leak down test. It's not my bike but I'll suggest it to the owner. The leakdown test was inconclusive due to lack of experience on the part of the operator. I'll compare the results with another test after a new cylinder and head are installed. |

I have a tiny compressor tank, one of those "pancakes", and when I turn the regulator down to 90psi, it lets out most of the air and what's left is pretty useless. Maybe I should get a bigger compressor or an auxiliary tank, IDK. |
