Not sure of the experience and mechanical knowledge of the person that installed the head, but many back yard 'mechanics' are not aware of the critical function of incrementally torquing the head in a criss cross fashion, to the required torque settings, and not below or above that spec. If each bolt is cinched tight, then move on to the next, the head will not sit flat, and could actually warp the head, or smash the gasket unevenly, and cause coolant and compression leaks.
I would also suspect there might be another issue, but without a direct inspection, no one knows remotely, or over the internet.

We do have free technical support via tech@scrappydogscooters.com and also on our tech page on our site where many common questions are answered. There are also tech advice in many of the parts listings, and we actually answer the phone and help those in need directly over the phone.

i personally like the original scrappy site. have ordered most of my stuff from scrappy and while doin some site shopping came across scooter express with cheap prices and was curious on their quality. back to task at hand....i believe the 44mm bbk is all i need for my purpose and area i ride. is stock replacement head suitable? since im there does a9 cam yield any benefits with the setup? and top it off with 20mm carb maybe. im not lookin for 40+mph just a lil jump from 20-35mph and keep speed on a select few hills in my area. all in the name of proper scootering fun  sorry for temporarily hijacking your thread! |

thanks for the advice on the website. Have you checked out chinesescooterparts.com lately? Looks pretty good and very modern with many features. We still have scrappydogscooters.com up and running because many people still like it. It's old fashioned, personable, and fast. Much of our delay in the new site was from incompetent developers and also budget. Our sales margins are very small, and we have very little to work with. As far as the scooter express site, good for him. Dan saved alot of money by stealing most of what he has, so apparently he's got the extra money to put into a website, much of which content is a direct copy and paste off of scrappydog's site, as Dan has zero experience in scooters or motorcycles and comes from the chemical industry and was also a stock market adviser, during which he was indicted and convicted of stock market fraud and served a federal sentence for such. If you want to support a true criminal and thief, who has no love or interest in scooters, and stole what he has from scrappydog for the mere intention of making money, then it's all yours. it's a free country! |

scooterpartsexpress is under current civil litigation for copywrite infringement and for using inside information to steal supplier and customer databases from us, ScrappyDog.
Dan is a complete crook

not sure. that cover looks the same. we haven't changed our manual in several years and it includes many wiring diagrams and several manuals for different models and such.

thanks for the help. looks like the site is not linking to USPS and is showing only fedex delivery, which isn't right.
I'll get on it right now.
Shipping for that should be well under 10 bucks

yes, the new website is no longer static to the part, and is directly tied to USPS, UPS, Fedex, and OnTrac where they calculate shipping costs by weight and dimensions. New website also gives options as to carrier and speed.
Much improved in this respect.
There is also a new dealer login, detailed search function, customer accounts, and option of paypal as well as visa, mc, amex, and discover.
it's taken a few years to do it, but I think we may be on the right track to improving our service

We're giving away free gloves again this holiday season for all scooterist that come by our shop and don't have gloves to wear. Our winters here aren't really unbearably cold, but most of our scooterists ride year round and 30 degrees with 45mph wind chill on the scooter can be uncomfortable and even dangerous.
This is a giveaway to anyone that rides their scooter to our warehouse and you don't need to buy anything or even have been a past or future customer.

We sell that size belt, but I don't see any 'model number' on the belt other than the size

I'm surprised Matt has given so much time and effort on this.
Seems simple to me...return the part, get a refund if it wasn't used or not electrical.
seems maybe the statement on the invoice 'customer ordered wrong part' was just offensive to him?

Matt and PFS are top notch. I started working with Universal Parts back in 2009 and everyone in the company is professional and honest.
Being in the chinese parts business can be really rough though, but I think they handle it very well.
Some customers can be a real pain in the butt and just want to hate on everyone and anyone, and they are always the loudest. Out of 1 or 2 really loud complainers, there are hundreds that go silent because they are happy customers and rarely give any praise, so this is a good posting here.
