Had the battery tested at a specific battery place, and he told me the battery was good. There was a stack of new batteries he could have sold me right behind me so I think I can take him at his word.

I just adjusted the valves recently. Can this be nothing more than me not retightening them enough?

I'd go thru the connections but my money is on a marginal battery

Tell you what BUD, get a VIDEO of you trying to start it and that will tell if its a weak battery.
It is very obvious really, it is not rocket science to tell if the battery is weak or not.
Some of us have been doing this for DECADES bud, and not only on little 1 cyl jobs but on big v8s myself hotrods.

I wouldn't put too much trust in that solar charger unless it has a built in regulator. They are good for a large car battery but that little thing in a scooter may be over charging. Especially on sunny days.

I'll get a vid tonight.

Yes on the regulator. One of the reasons I chose it.

Okies, movie time! Of course, it didn't do it this time.

Did you fiddle with the timing at all?,,, could be too advanced ,, firing before top dead center just a degree or so

I could just be that on that first push the piston is already on it compression stroke and since it did not get a HEAD WIND as one would say it could not push past the compression stroke fast enough until the next couple of revolution of the crank and it fires on the next compression stroke. It will happen when by chance the motor has been stopped and it stopped just before the compression stroke.

I will stay with what I said.

Alley, is that a 'just don't worry about it' issue?
