I tried to get a Peugeot Speedfight running, And the revs kept choking and going flat after starting, i thought it was just abit dusty after 1-2 years, so i drove it anyway even though the revs were wobbling up and down choking for air, i thought it needed warming up.

after 3-4 minutes, i heard a balloon pop sound, and it wouldnt start At All... I found the vacuum petrol tap was dripping into the inlet manifold through the vacuum pipe, which was maybe plugged wrong, into the fuel outlet, else the valve is faulty, i didnt have the books on me. 

So the lower motor flooded with 1-2 cups of petrol, and eventually emptied, but the scooter still wouldnt start.

Could i have cause serious damage from 3-4 minutes riding? maybe the spark plug died? it's 1 hour away i have to go and test it again. Arg.

use a GFCI? ground fault circuit interrupter ? on the impact gun? hm. the planentary gears? i didnt see any in the drive belt area.

I have to find a list of the parts that can fail under intense heat.

I love that scooter i will probably spend 30-40 hours till i find it. It is a 2004 peugoet trekker with rally suspension.

I dunno why it doesnt have a heat sensor near the ventilated metal. The wind was 70kph that day, 45 mph, i hope that cooled the scooter and it was something else.

The ventilator plastics around the cylinder became disjointed after a bump, and i didnt see, something overheated and cracked.

i did 20k with it sometimes becoming disjointed due to a broken bolt hole in the plastic.

recently i re-sealed the top cylinder joints and the performance increased. 

I was riding along yesterday, everything perfect, and suddenly i hear a chink sound, like a cracking plate, and the moter powered half revs and turned 10 times, and then another dink sound and maybe some rattling, i though that some metal was juming on the road for a couple of seconds. i didnt hear clearly.

Then the bike was unresponsive. When i use the kickstarter, it sounds and turns like normal, and checked under the seat, the cylinder and all the metal does not look cracked. 

I think it is perhaps the metal rods that join the piston to the turny thing?

What can i do? what could be cracked? i was loving that bike at the moment.

found a video saying that you can stuff rope into the spark hole untill there is enough that it blocks the cylinder from coming all the way up so that it blocks the variator. It sounds very useful, do you think it's safe? can the piston fastenings take that much pressure?

undid 3 bolts from my intake manifold, turned out that the 4th bolt was shaped like a ufo, the top of the bolt was a perfect cylinder. Is this normal at the scooter factory that they put in these for a laugh sometimes?

I managed to unscrew the ufo bolt by pressing the manifold up onto it to grip it clockwise and then turn back anticlockwise.

very confused, what it is? other than antitheft reasons, i dunno why they had that there.
it was one of these:

one pint of petrol leaked under the seat in the luggage box, when i was taking a bottle of petrol to someone's scooter to see it run. The seat crushed the bottle cap and the petrol leaked all over the bike, and the next day, when i start it, the electric starter is silent and instead i hear a small buzz.whine somewhere in the bike. 

is the solenoid making that noise?

what could have happened? How can i fix it?
