It's my scooter's anniversary! I put exactly 6,600 miles on it since I bought it Last November. The more I ride, the more I love it!  |

I'm not the one selling this scooter, but I had to share the ad with you guys because the scooter only has 60 miles on it and it is gorgeous. It is a 2015 Honda PCX150 near Fresno, CA. I met the owner and looked at it. It is brand spanking new. She is selling it because the person for which she bought it does not want it..... visalia.craigslist.org/mcy/5287483747.html |

I'm assuming the blue stripes are wear markers. When they disappear, replace the tire. Both tires still have plenty of tread on them.
Rear tires need to be replaced much more often than front tires.

Good. The battery I recommended to you has these dimensions: L: 5.94” W: 3.42” H: 3.74” So it should fit perfectly. The one I recommend has 7 amps but does not mention cold cranking amps. I would buy it if I were you, but Alleyoop might recommend a different battery. Plus, you live in Florida, so you will need fewer cold cranking amps than people in other states. Also notice that that your small battery has the red wire on the right. The new battery will need the red wire on the left, and it looks like your red wire will have enough slack to do so. The battery I recommended claims to be fully charged, so you may not need to trickle charge it. www.ebay.com/itm/FirstPower-FPM7-12B-for-Yuasa-YUAM32X7A-YTX7A-BS-BATTERY-/291589228591?hash=item43e412882f:g:-S8AAOSw14xWHWSS&rmvSB=true&rmvSB=true |

Always connect positive first to prevent accidental shorting. When disconnecting battery, always remove negative first. When jump starting, connect black jumper from good battery's negative terminal to dead scooter's engine block instead of dead battery's negative terminal. This prevent sparks near the battery. All batteries including sealed batteries produce hydrogen gas when charging. Rosiemoto, you will need a trickle charger for your new battery.... www.amazon.com/Black-Decker-BM3B-Battery-Maintainer/dp/B0051D3MP6/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8 |

I wish I had the original battery to show! This one I got about 2 years ago to replace it, and it's like half the size almost; you can hear it clunking around in there when I hit big bumps. Not good. You want a battery that fits perfectly and with more amps. Who recommended the small battery to you? |

Yes, try pushing the spark plug cap in more.
Also see how well the spark plug works after kickstarting.
Take a photo of your battery including the model number so we can recommend a new one.

Also, show us a photo of your rear tire from behind the scooter so we can tell you if you need a new one.

I checked, and Autolite 4194 is compatible with your old plug.
Gap looks close enough to 0.7 millimeters. Put it in your socket and gently install it by hand to avoid crossthreading. Once it is installed, tighten it with your socket wrench, tight but not overtight.
Then let us know if the engine starts
And keep records of your maintenance. Every time you change oil or plugs, or any other work, write down that you did along with the date and odometer reading.

try it. if it fits, fine. if not, buy a spark plug socket.
when you install the new plug, do it without the wrench at first. screw it in gently to prevent cross threading. then finish tightening with the wrench. tight but do not overtighten.

Yes that is the right spark plug. You can get it from your local auto parts store. A regular socket is probably not deep enough for a spark plug, and it is not padded like a spark plug socket.
As for the gap, just hold up the gap to a metric ruler and see if it is about 6/10 of one millimeter. As long as it looks close enough, don't change the gap.
