It sounds to me like your top priorities should be to find where the oil is leaking from, and make sure your vacuum lines are hooked up and connected properly. Then maybe take the CVT cover off and check the transmission. Oil leaking behind the airbox sounds somewhat strange to me (location wise), although I'm not exactly familiar with your scoot...

Or even somewhere in between--- like a PS2. It has a HUGE library, and it's not "retro" enough (yet) for the games to be priced really high. It's a good time to collect, or just buy, PS2 and Xbox(the original) games.
Same with the original Wii, IMO.
If you want graphics, go with this generation, or wait until late this year for the PS4. To me it's all about fun first, graphics comes after that.

I can't say I've ever had a problem with Enviro. I don't order from him much because of limited parts.

I did away with the bullet connectors a long time ago. Never regretted it. Bought a male female connector set from Radio Shack, cut off the bullets, and wired in the Raido Shack ones. Covered them with dielectric grease, never have they let me down. Not a bad idea at all Larry. There are 2 eyelets and the end of the wires that connect to them(grounds), that need replaced before anything else happens. I'll be picking those up today. |

I have 2 NES, sega genesis, sega game gear, super nes, n64, gameboy advance, and ps1 for older stuff. I play Super Mario Bros 3 quite often, especially with my nephew.
Not too many places, or ads on craiglist, to find many vintage games where I live. Some prices for these older games are getting pretty steep. I just wish Gamestop would still have the older games.

Couldn't start it at first-- stator wires were a little loose. Idled a tad crazy for quite awhile. Scoot ran fine, died out a 1/2 mile before my house---pushed it home. I think it could be the valves...hopefully. Didn't sound like it wanted to fire at all. starter turns the engine over fine.  I rode it around for about 3 miles total. Spark was gold, not blue. Tried 2 cdi's and spark plugs. I'll get it to work.  So I had gold spark, and then no spark within a 3 mile round trip. I guess when I thought the connectors were "loose", maybe when I connected them back together..it got rid of some of the corrosion just good enough to start and run it for 3 miles or so.. but I can't say it ran at full power that's for sure. Lesson learned here. |

That's what it was!
It's funny, because I swapped out an older flywheel before I cleaned the bullet connectors--- after checking the stator itself. So when I went out to start it(after my last post)... it started--- but sounded AWFUL. Talk about frustrating..haha. I put the newer flywheel back on and it's running and sounding great now. Starts fine, idles fine, runs fine... no hesitations or anything. It smells like it still may be smoking a little, but that SHOULD go away hopefully now that it's running properly. No leaks either-- I looked inside the fan shroud when I had the fan cover off, not a drop... and not a drop under the crankcase halves either.
I'm happy. First time I've rode it since NOVEMBER.

Well the gold spark I had earlier is BLUE now  Knew the valves/carb had nothing to do with it. After looking it over, took a closer look at the connections for the stator wires--- appears there was some corrosion between the "bullet" plugins coming from the stator. Looks like I need to do a better job at protecting connections like that---any good tips? Couldn't have happened at a better time (sarcasm).... First electrical issue I've had in 36,000 kilometers, believe it or not. |

Lol, here we go. If the valves don't do it, I'll clean the carb. I took it apart before I went to bed last night, looked good no gunk for as long as it sat. Hey, I ain't no pro so don't hold me to it...  |
