Well obviously that battery is hot! Pete is correct, it's coming up on compression and the starter doesn't have a chance to get it spinning. You might consider a performance starter, they won't do that and they are plug and play. It's a simple bolt on and one cable. Rich

I agree with Alley, what happened between running OK and not running OK? This is the Alleyoop paradigm. If you changed the oil AND set the valves prior to it running like that....it's the valves.

I'd go with something rubbing in the clutch. Pull the bell and look around. Check the tensioner arms and make sure one of them isn't cracked and check the tensioner springs also. The variator is a possibility as you mentioned, pop it off and check the weights.

In the FAQ board at the top of the site we ask them to give us the engine number. It's been read 166 times in six weeks mainly by guests. Like somebody said, it's too much trouble to provide us with info. But I agree, we could just tell them that we can't help them without the engine number. Rich

Forget it Andy, the guy doesn't want to put any effort into it. It was nice of you to try though, so you get a piston! Rich

If you get one go with a CF Moto, they are vastly superior to the other clones. John at Valley Scooters is selling them for $1,800 plus some shipping! Here's a link. There are still parts out there for them. Rich

HA! Tubular, I forgot about that one. How about gnarly, bitchin', bitin', movin', groovin', truckin', beat, bomb, bad, rad, radic, boss, hoss, cool, chilled, iced, stoned, slammed, fried, froze, smooth, casual, plastic, or suits? We thought we had it figured out, what a joke. Rich

Well KZ has come up with an idea about a group ride which I really like. I'll create a special board or sticky post for everybody to post on. What do you think gang? Here is part of his PM to me:
Since everybody lives apart and really can't ride together the idea is that we should all ride on one day, take pictures, and report knowing that everybody else is out doing the same. A Spiritual group ride if you will. Columbus Day is Oct. 13th and the weather shouldn't be too prohibitive for most. An end of the season event.

I added the http and it didn't help a great deal. The pic we did get showed a couple connectors, we can't tell a lot from that.

Alpha Motorsports is the best place to find parts for CF anymore. Do you have a rear rack? I just buy generic trunks and mount them to the rack with big zip ties. You might have to drill a couple holes but it works fine.
