by jobe ive found at least one of the problems !

.....wait for it ..... bent exhaust valve stem. the "head" of the
valve had a rather large opening around half of the seat. also was being
banged / and / or banging the piston. this sucks.


and the worst part of it im fixing MY WIFES scooter seeing as though
i biffed the quick stop during the eval. ironic ... i begged her to go to
the msf class kicking and screaming, and i fail and she crushes it.

im going to walk in this friday and see if they will let me take the driving
eval over again, rather than going through the whole weekend.

Well that explains the lack of compression and the engine spinning like that when the starter engages. I hate to tell you this but if the cam was in wrong it would have crashed the piston into the valve causing the damage.

Well we're right here actually, that's what the web is for. 250's are worth fixing, they're fairly fast, great mileage, and temp resistant. If somebody says they're not worth fixing, they don't know how to fix them. Rich
