Back Story....
Originally I got this scooter from my sister-in-law to fix because she had bought it used and had already spent over $400 taking it places to get fixed and they would only get it running for a few days... So she gave it to me thinking I could fix it since I'm a mechanic. So now I have it and it wont start. Come to find out the head has been replaced twice, the kill switch has been replaced, CDI box has been replaced, spark plug has been replaced, carb has been rebuilt already, and wiring has been altered...
I've replaced the CDI box, spark plug, cleaned the carb out, adjusted the valves, and fixed all the wiring issues. The thing is getting plenty of fuel, now has good continuous spark, etc. I can get it to sputter at wide open while spraying starter fluid in, however I find out it has horrible compression only 30psi max after attempting to start multiple times. So after only 400 miles on this thing its getting rebuilt. My question is, since I have messed with scooters before and this thing only having 400 miles on it, is this kit I found on eBay and good and is there anything else I should get and replace along with it? I don't want to sink a ton of money into this thing because I'm just going to sell it for some different toys that are more my taste.
Here is the link to the kit I'm looking at... www.ebay.com/itm/Glixal-ATMT1-005-High-Performance-GY6-50cc-to-60cc-44mm-Big-Bore-Cylinder-Kit-/172034332809?hash=item280e0b9889:g:9o4AAOSwSHZWdWEh&vxp=mtr
Thanks in advance for any help!
