No, not the cdi. I have had this bike spinning fast enough to float valves. This was before the stroker though.

Wierd thing happened on my way to work. If im riding at 45 or more and open the throttle all the way, it cuts out like i turned the key off.
Any ideas?

No signs of damage anywhere. I think rocky is right, the plastic dipstick got into the timing chain and it skipped hanging the valves open out of time. There is no evidence of the valves making contact. Just no compression.
Glad i have a stroker now though. Convincing ur old lady that a scoot is worth the investment was the hard part.

I was luckily on my way down to the shop for a new bendix bushing so the electric worked again. That last kick started it though.
I guess i gotta get out thed dremel and grinder now.

Well i have 100 miles on the stroker and i love it. It is being held back alot right now though. I got a new upjetted carb with the stroker but it is stock size. They threw in a cheapo cone filter for free but it fit like poo and got run over by my back tire. Right now im running the stock airbox until i can devise a way to mount a uni so it dont get soaked.
I can feel it wanting to breathe.
By the way, what should i set my vales at? Im using the beer can trick right now.

Well I never figured out what caused the compression loss. But along time ago a dipstick broke off in my crankcase and happily lived there for 5k until my buddy knocked it over and the dipstick wedged itself into somewhere detrimental. Out of a 2inch pice of plastic i found maybe a quarter inch mangled piece after splitting my case for the stroker.

So, someone stole my bicycle, my van has been doa for almost a year and many of you know my scoot died at the ripe young age of 6500k. In my lack of transportation i finally bit the bullet and went to the local scoot shop and bought a 52mm bbk, big valve head, cam, and 44mm stroker.
Wow is this a new animal!
So much faster it has now been dubbed the red rocket.
Nice to be back and scootin along again.

As an update. I spent some time last week at scooters to go talking about their stroker crank. It is made in the same factory as the hoca unit but is built to STG specs. They are now in their third generation. The first had china bearings. A few failed so the had them redesigned with japanese bearings. The second gen has no failures. The third is using 20krpm ceramic bearings and they are working on ti valve springs so that they can actually spin the motor that fast.
I drove one of their r&d big bore strokers and it pegged the Speedo in the time it would normally take to hit 25 it kept pulling after that too.
They will be putting their bbk and stroker in for me this weekend.
Full review coming up.

Well. There was a piece of dipstick that had broken off in the case 4k or so ago. I think while it was on its side ths piece wormed its way somewhere important. I had pulled 130 psi compression a week ago when i did my oil change. I was expecting it to last a bit longer.
Scooters to go said they will put in a 100cc stroker for $400. I plan on dropping it off this friday.
