alleyoop i didn't put the wire on the cdi, but i traced it and it goes into the cdi so i know its not just squeezed in the terminals. i don't really know if its a dc scooter or a ac. how would i know/check? im going to order a new performance ac cdi just to see if it was fried and if its really ac i already checked the spark plug and its firing fine. just got a new one (not installed) the gas pump does have a vacuum hose going to it from the intake manifold. is it supposed to go there? do you happen to have a spare muffler? i want to just order new wiring if i cant get it started, but im waiting on the kick start from my bro. if all else fails then im going to get a new carb and manifold with 2 vacuum holes on it.

Yeah i agree with you on that. people just need to take care of their stuff
I checked the compression by taking the spark plug out and putting my finger in the plug hole and tried to start it and my finger got sucked in. So compression is not the issue.
There is no clanking, knocking, ticking, or anything when i try to start it.
If it comes down to it i would get a new engine if it comes to that point.
The previous owner was running it with not even a cup of oil so i really hope the engine is not locked
I also notice that no gas is coming from the tank through the line (its clear) so i think the problem includes that. The gas moves a little when i try to crank it though.

alleyoop yeah i thinking the muffler broke off. sadly everything you see in the pics, came as is. except i took off all plastic parts. i had no idea it could burn the exhaust valve... the previous owner had it running without it, driving it to work. (loud!) what if the valve is burnt? how can i check and what to do if it is and will it effect the scooter turning on? i saw where the exhaust valve is, i couldn't really tell if it was burnt or not. i just put my finger on it and a tiny bit of oil got on my finger. i plan on getting a performance muffler from amazon www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KLV1D8G/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3M9NXSSW7AH0Ewould it be better to order it and install it first then crank it so it wouldn't burn the valve? header pipe? your talking about the pipe that's between the carb and the engine? if you are then it makes much more sense. what about the drain hose coming from the canister? don't worry about it right?

pmatulew i didn't have the right tool to set the valve, so i used a wrench and pliers. (saw youtube video) its not damaged cause i did a compression test i checked the spark plug, it was firing fine and checks out on my multi-meter. the gas is fresh,, i didn't check the carb jets. I'm going to have to look it up. i been trying to crank it from the damaged solenoid should i stop doing that or its fine? it act like it wants to turn on. i almost had it with my carb spray, but i ran out. (old can wasn't much in there at all when i started) I'm about to upgrade the power and ground wires, hopefully it will make a difference. alleyoop, ksaun123, rockynv, pmatulew, scotttx

I jumped the solenoid and the starter turned. So i know that i need a new one.
Forget about that oil line, it turned out to be a vacuum hose.
When i jumped it it just tried and tried to crank but nothing happen. The spark plug is good, a bit of gas is getting into it, the ignition switch is on, on the kick stand,
The ground is the only thing that i need to check
My scooter already has a kick start shaft stub.
I adjusted the valve
I don't really know why it wont start.

I don't have a center stand but i have a jack. So if the battery is good the the starter will spin but the solenoid will be bad and if the starter spins a little than the battery is dead and the solenoid is too? What will happen if the starter doesn't spin when i jump it? And if the scooter is standing straight up then it way come on when i jump it?

Thanks for the description but how long must i keep the screwdriver on the solenoid? Im thinking for about a few seconds right until or if the starter spins. How would it react if the battery was bad?

alleyoop How exactly would i have to do that? you want me to turn the key then get a wire to the 2 terminals and try to start? it will spark if i do that. probably harm the wiring or burn something. please explain for me. and thanks.

JerryScript I've tried the battery from my dirt bike and the one that came with the scooter. my brother said he is going to give me his kick-starter from his 50cc. i just ordered a starter relay and a solenoid (for my lights) and an air aftermarket air filter. ordered the solenoid because i held the crank button and it stopped ticking loud so my fly wheel stopped moving. i looked it up and a guy from YouTube had the same problem so he did a valve check and it started right up. also i see 2 large tubes that are connected to nothing, is that normal? i have pics upon request

i got it off, with a hammer and chisel then i put everything back on. i installed a new drain bolt, put 15w 40 oil in it, and put on a new oil line. then i put the battery back in to start it and it didn't start. when i hit the start switch, all i heard was a tick sound (every time i hit the start button) coming from the ignition relay/Solenoid. i have no idea what it could be. alleyoop, scotttx, rockynv, pmatulew, JerryScript, oldchopperguy, sunsport |
