Ive never replaced that gasket on any of my bikes ever even when they look like they dried out and shriveled. Never had a leak problem. Theirs no pressure in there due to the engine vent.

Every time I had bulbs blow it was because my voltage regulator was bad. Paid under $10 and put it on and instantly no blown lights. Its located in the front of the scooter. You unscrew it, unplug it and put the new one on in reverse order. Good luck

You need to get a multimeter to test the voltages charging the battery. And i've been through refilling batteries before and all of them boiled over and died. I think its just best to get another battery. I think I may have over filled them? Idk what I was doing. And if your bike is not powering all your lights without the battery you HAVE an electrical problem on the scooter. My first guess is the voltage regulator, next guess is wiring 3rd the stator. The wires used on these bike are paper thin and unreliable.

Running with a dead battery will burn up the R/R which is probably burned up by now and is sending the voltage to ground and will start wiping out some of the electrical. Never run with a dead battery. Alleyoop Why would running with a dead battery kill the r/r? |

Sounds like the scooter has an electrical problem and is probably the reason the batter died in the first place. Have you tested the charging voltages?

Sounds like something is loose. Check it out.

I suck on the vacuum line that lead to the fuel pump until I hear the carb fill up. Never fail to work.

Don't think it matters but I would think metal to engine since its perfectly round and flat and the exhaust isn't.

Oh, yea thats your problem. If the flywheel is not aligned, the pickup coil fires at the wrong time, thus the timing problem you have.
The flywheel goes on easy but comes off hard. If you had to hit it to get it on something was wrong from the beginning. It just slides into place and the magnets keep it on before you put the bolt back on. Did you notice it broken from the beginning, or just recently? A new key cost around $2 or less and could have prevented this.

Try a spare cdi. A failing one act just the way you described.

Changing the brakes is easy
Remove muffler and other things in the way of the tire.
Take off the tire.
Remove and replace brake shoes (They are held in place by springs on the shoe.)
Re assemble.
FIRST check the the brake adjuster by the tire on the right side of the bike. Righy tighty, lefty loosy

Something is interfering with the signals the pickup coil is sending to the cdi. Faulty wires?
You know how to set the camshaft at the right timimg right? You know how you use the flywheel to do it? The spark is set to fire when the piston is all the way out closest to the head it can get. Well at top dead center(When the piston is closest to the head) the bump on the outer flywheel should met up directly with the pick up coil. If you've confirmed than then you have bad wiring

I would inspect the fuel ratio.
Stock bikes are built cheap to make money, and pass emission and safety requirements, and go at least 35. Anything after that is up to the quality of the dealer. I would check the air/fuel mix to make sure its not running lean or rich. And inspect for possible problems weekly. Scooters require ALOT of maintenance unless you have a Honda. If you are happy with the way it runs as is then leave it as is and replace parts as needed. Which as a scooter it WILL need within the next 6 months or less. Good luck!

The pickup coil tells the cdi when to send spark to the spark plug. Its possible its damaged and sending signals at incorrect times. Mine did the same thing right before it died. Sounds just like timing is wrong. Misfiring, back firing, spudderiing.If your getting spark the stator is fine, but the trigger coil sounds bad.
