Sand Bridge is nice...ya get to cruise the beach and look at $500,000 Condos that you could own easily...well..that is IF you win the PowerBall Lottery.. I would avoid Dam Neck..especially if you are going anywhere near the Naval Air Station area. That base is old it needs to be torn down. None of the buildings on it have Romex type wiring..it's all that OLD fabric covered wiring..and most of it is just sticking out of walls and light fixtures. Talk about a safety hazard...eeesh. At their AIMD(Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Divison) Everytime the big air compressor kicked on..the lights would really dim! It made you feel like George Washington...reading with candle light.
As for your jet..YES you are right that # MJ does suck the gas!! I use a #87.5 in mine. With the #..no ..while riding..you could see the gas gauge move like you were driving a Chevy 350 4 door Dual Wheel Truck.. Ok not quite as much but my guess-stimate put me at less than 40 mpg.. Btw....Kempsville is a nice area..so I know you are not a Peasant.. ;D But traffic can be congested...and in the summer all those Tourists seem to think road signs and traffic lights...are merely suggestions...not actually a law..sumpin like that huh?.. THUMP... &^%$#@ Speed Bump.."No Harry you just ran over 2 Scooters and 3 Pedestrians"...

"one issue i had was that i was getting all the correct voltage numbers but couldnt for the life of me get spark, replaced the cdi and she fired right up" see you had the right voltage so that was your problem..the CDI.

"now with a different scoot im having a no spark but power isnt getting to the coil + either from the cdi... so im assuming thats bad but i just want everyones input, and please dont link a how to troubleshoot no spark, ive already got the whole document memorized" Since you have it memorized..and followed it...you should have your problem solved right? Ok no power to coil...or from CDI... so what is next in line to check? Answer= Is there power TO the CDI.....if not you won't get any spark...right? So having the 'whole document memorized' which wire provides current to the CDI?..and what does it show when you check it? If it shows the proper current TO the CDI...the CDI is bad..if it shows no current from the stator to the CDI....what do you think is wrong?... You already have your answer.. ;D

While in the Military and over seas...I took a French Self Defense course...but all that running was exhausting..

So..what are you saying...that 10,800 rpm is too much for a stock 4T? It will get you to right near 60mph...the stock tach ends at 10,000...so just paint the extra 800 over on the ride side of it...simple. see...

Oh crap...Gary left out tire pressure!!! That does now that you mention it..make certain stock scoots hit 60 mph on a daily basis..know what?..forget 40 psi..tomorrow I am pumping mine up to 80 psi to get twice the speed...120mph..although my tires are rated at 90mph.. But he did suggest Nitrogen..what it does in cars...scoots and motorcycles I have no clue. But we did use it in aircraft tires in the military due to altitude and atmospheric conditions. I never can get my scoot airborne..so maybe I don't need it?.. On a serious note...why Nitrogen in land based vehicle tires? What does it do that air can't do?

Ya gotta love Math Geeks... Just out of curiosity I ask my bud with his ink pen filled pocket protector if a stock 50 could go 60mph even under ideal conditions with no wind. He is also a good Scoot mechanic and can do THE fastest BBK install I've ever seen. Just over an hour.. He has a Sunny and his wife has an ATM-50. He said both have the same gearing...CVT and rear pulley size as well as tire circumference with the 3.50-10 tires. A longggggg.....conversation ensues over the phone as he measures CVT and rear pulley max travel...gear ratio....tire circumference...belt width and more...as I nearly fell asleep...lmao. Finally he said..."It will take right at 10,800 rpm for them to hit 60mph even down hill with no wind, so good luck trying, it's your engine not mine. You could gear up 26% but would have no take off and only hit that speed on a long steep down grade" I told him it was not for me..it was that many times folks ask in different forums if they can get theirs to go that fast with just a BBK. In which he explained..what I already knew..that a BBK will add a tad more speed...but not 60 mph worth. So any body that is willing to run 10,800 rpm..you could possibly do it...just make sure you have an extra engine at home... ;D He said his best estimate is it would take a 52mm BBK as you would need the torque for a 25% or better gearing upgrade....oversize variator with good quality sliders..not the generic green cheapies on Ebay and a stroker cranksahft...but even then you are pushing the envelope. I know Larry from the old scootdawg built one...and I think millsc is right on the heals of that elusive 60mph some folks seek. So millsc is the go to man if that is what ya seek. Because while you are running stock or close to it...60 is outta the question unless you can wind up to 10,800 rpm...and I don't even run my 2T that high..although I have read articles where racers can hit 14,000 rpm on a 2T...but they are sponsored and get a free new engine every race. Hey any of you Vendors out there wanna be my sponsor??... ;D....

Post a pic....sounds like your tranny gear oil drain bolt.
