Interesting theory.
How long will delivery take for your new battery?

Not sure what the stamp would be. At least we know you need a new battery. I'm guessing once you replace it you will be good to go.

Yeah, I forgot how exactly the magneto test was performed in the video. But on a multimeter during starting the voltage will drop, but then increase from being recharged.

Ok I will charge it right now with my Schumacher SE1052 battery charger set at 2 amp slow charge. If it starts up after charging we can narrow it down to either the battery or or charging system (magneto/stator). Then we would have to figure out if your battery is not being recharged, or holding a charge. |

Maybe, I'm not an electrical expert like others we have here. I do know a 12.5 reading is very low for a battery, it should be in the 13s. Do you know how old it is? It could be as simple as a bad battery.
I would say the first step to working through your problem is charing your battery to know you have a good source for your electrical system.

Turned key this morning. Lights came on. Scooter started. Turned it off. Would not start again. Lights will not come on again. Opened panels. With key turned, I wiggled all electrical wires but lights did not come on. Do you know if your system is A/C or D/C? And have you tried charging the battery? |

LOL! I actually started watching that same exact video 10 minutes before you mentioned it. That is funny. It is a very good video. The author is testing all electrical systems to diagnose a faulty CDI, but the explanations for each system is very good. Once you do find the problem part we have several electrical gurus here. |

This is a very good video walking through checking all electrical components.

scoot, I appreciate the cigar, but I'll count it as a team effort. I call for cigars and drinks all around for another problem solved. RIDE SAFE

It may be just the angle of the pictures, but are you sure you have a good slope on your fuel line? Again, it may be the angle of the photos but a few spots in the fuel line appears to run slightly upwards. That could explain why you are not getting enough fuel to the carburetor, and how blowing into the tank vent to force the fuel down fixes it.
The picture of the rear of the scooter with both shocks is a good example. The line from the tank on the left-side of the frame appears to have the fuel line just below where the spring starts. However on the right side of the frame, the fuel line is above the beginning of the spring.

The lines to the T connector with a cap on one end, that looks like one of the lines comes from the intake manifold, it should then attach to the fuel petcock. That vacuum line is what actuates the fuel petcock allowing fuel to flow through it. Is it hooked up? It appears from the pictures that the fuel petcock was bypassed for a straight gravity feed system. The T on the vacuum line was capped with only the carburetor attached to the vacuum line. |

Thanks guys. I still have at least two months to decide which belt to run this upcoming season. Still wish I knew if all 20mm belts, actually start life closer to a 19mm width. If my old belt has only worn a tad more than 1mm in 4800 miles...that's great. Now if it was a true 20mm when new, and is down 2mm, to the present 18.08mm.....Then that's a horse of a different color From now on, I will measure every new belt before installing....so in a few years, I should know the answer to my original query Do you live near a store that sells them? If so, you could go in and ask if you could measure a couple of them. |
