Good Luck, did you Mark the Chain and Cam Sprocket before you took it off so that you won't be off a chain link.

now I need the scooter. I'm going try very hard cuz I need it. the front windshield on my van is bustered. Golfball sized hail ruined me & wife's windshield's

[seanstr]

I have figured out how to time

[Alleyoop]

Well a new windshield will run around $300.00 installed. They guy will come out to your place and install it while you watch him.

It is $286, at their place, on anniversary. Anyway, I got it all the way back together, compression is still very low, 40 to 50 psi. I'm having my dad change out valve rods. He thinks if the rods are bent even a little bit then the compression will be off, so, that is the very last thing to try before new engine, or new scooter, yes?

So my dad & his friend are trying to change it out, had to look for more tools, lol

[seanstr]

Ok, my father & his friend didn't have the correct size, & guy across the street, same problem. Taking heads to machine shop to do the rod exchange

The ring stagger is very important on the GY6 engine.. if its isn't right you won't get 1000 miles out of a set of rings

I staggered, the problem is the valve rods were bent, therefore leaked & bad to no compression. Costs 2 hours of labor to fix though. $65 an hour.

It is running again. Yea. I'm putting together & giving it a bath.

[seanstr]

This is what was wrong. There exists a seal that sits behind rod that is in head. The seal can out. It is back in & scooter is good to go

[seanstr]

Got a problem, signals aren't working correctly, & battery was low in juice after diving to work & lunch. Any simple ideas of what is wrong?

[sprocket]

Sounds like your battery isn't getting charge from the stator..could also be the rectifier/regulator etc...
