Hey,
I'm helping a buddy try and fix his scooter, and I got a few questions.
He said the thing was having trouble firing up for the last week or so, but it would start. Now it fails to crank at all. I checked the voltage on the battery, and it was a solid 12v. The spark plug wire terminal was only getting .3v.
Any ideas? I was thinking the battery was just dying, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. Could it be the spark plug? I feel like it would still turnover if that was the case.

Need some clarification on what you mean by "IT FAILS TO CRANK AT ALL"..
1. Do you mean when you turn the key on and squeeze the brakes NOTHING HAPPENS?
2. Do you mean when you turn the key on and squeeze the brakes the motor turns over but it does not FIRE it just keeping turning over but will not start.

I'd check the starter relay.

Yes, it should kickstart , that is what the Kickstarter is for its for emergencies use only if your electric start does not work when you went someplace and something went south on it. But the Kickstarters are Flimsy and will not stand up to everyday use JUST so you know. Because if you think you can just use the Kickstarter it will cost you more in the end.

Is the Kill Switch On or Off. If it's Off you can kick until next week and nothing will happen.
Then adjust the valves when you do finally get it started.
