Alright Alley here goes it.

Today I went and double checked spark, and fuel. The spark plug was dry and the fuel was plentiful and after a few tries the beast STARTED!!! It ran for a total of 10 sec., an then quit. Upon restarting the battery and the jump box were spent so i quit. It is a great thing that I did because i looked at the vatiator and saw that it had worded itself loose. Are there two different size belts or is the variator not tight enough?

GREAT!! Now concerning it not staying running Where you helping it along giving it throttle or NONE AT ALL?

Reason I ask is the IDLE SETTING on the Carb may be to low and if you do not hold the throttle a little open it will not get enough gas. If that is the case Turn the IDLE SPEED SCREW about 1/8 Clockwise to open the BUTTERFLY a little more and expose a few more of the tiny outlets from the PILOT JET.

CONCERNING the Variator, You either did not tighten up the Variator enough or the NUT was not tightening on the VARIAOTR but on the SPLINES. Some need a washer to CLEAR the SPLINE so the NUT TIGHTENS on the VARIATOR and not the SPLINES. Are you using a IMPACT WRENCH, if so put the NUT ON BY hand and against the Variator then HIT the NUT 3 1 SECOND HITS WITH THE IMPACT WRENCH.

I will use my impact on it tomorrow. I tightened it up pretty good by hand. I did notice the kick start gear was loose and came off when I pulled the variator off.

careful with the impact it will turn the weights upside and sideways, My dad and i learned that the hard way.

Today I went out to work on the scoot and on the first crank it started. But because I am still tweaking the A/F it did not run long. Yesterday my issue was maintaining charge on the batteries while trying to work the kinks out. Today after the first crank the battery was dead, the jump box again was of no help but the voltage on the batteries were good. There is something that is dragging my voltage drops way too low. Let me know what you guys think.

Fist make sure you have a good ground from battery to frame and frame to motor.

But I really think the battery is to weak to turn the motor over, if it drops that bad I think the battery has a bad cell. It sure doesn't take a load, what size battery is in there 7Amp I would get a good battery with over 200CCAs for that motor and maybe a 9AMP if you can find one tht will fit in the battery compartment. Batteries will show good voltage but will drop like a rock if they have short or bad cell.
