Drive my scoot around town the other day and when I got to the smoke shop flipped the switch off it ran for 4 minutes after with no electric source supplied I am running a very hot spark plug because my piolets to big for colder weather.
I had to shut off the pet cock and it still ran a bit after but I do notice when she runs on if I kill the power and snap the throttle she shuts off instantly.
In regards to lighting does the head light circuit control the gauge panel lighting?
I also have a slight ticking after acceleration, I suspect wrong timing. Elaborate please.

May not be able to elaborate... but if it is sparking after shut-off: It is not shut-off: Maybe contacts shorting in the ignition switch or other electrical locations. Or there is excessive heating maybe pre-ignition? If there is fuel, ignition (spark or something acting like a glow-plug) and compression; the engine will continue to run until one is interrupted. Never had a scoot that did that but just throwing out something that may be helpful. Tired and going to sleep. Check back and see how this goes. Night, all. Thanks for everything...for real. |

I figured my plug is too hot big numbers = cold smaller = hotter In referance to my plugs i am running br8hs ngk 8 being closer off the warm side the 7 plugs foul quicker but is hotter then 8 i am basing my plugs off heat range not specified oem because of lack of manual but on simular aplications ranging from honda aero 1983-  calls for 6-8 plugs as well for 90s and up calls for 6-8 heat range. My compression is also higher at a stock upgraded then stock for my year dish top low compression honda aero 40mm x 39.3 from 83- to dome top 40mm x 39.2 for pgo to minarelli typed new school pistons figured thats why my scooter taps under load. Possiably. No chance that the ignition switch is at fault because i pulled the plug boot and she still ran normal and strong. Usually if she dont kill off by gravity petcock i can turn the switch off and snap the throttle and she cuts streight off. Its still too cold to judge operation based of plugs i dont wish to rejet the pilot if its not nessasary when hot out when its cold they say you need smaller piolet vs bigger in summer but i smoke mildly at idle enough to look like a car exhaust in healthy condition. Most of the time smoke is close to invisiable may also need pickup coil retardation. Hit me back.... I found a video for comparison, this is what i hear when i rise under load |
