So my spark plug just shoots out while im driving, even tried to j.b. weild it in there ( temp fix while i wait on a cylnder head to come in), that worked for about a day. My question is this, would jb wielding my spark plug in cause any other damage?
Also could some1 post a link on how to swap cylnder heads.
Thanks for the help.

Haha well don't say i didn't mention so, but apparently the ignition has three settings on it. I didn't know this and was putting the key in while the ignition was in locked mode and turning it clockwise to the off position.
There was a problem with the ignition switch and it wouldn't let me turn it all the way to the on position.
k.i.s.s. method turned out to work perfectly, lesson learned.

thing about the kick start.... i had my scooter worked on bout 2months back and when i got it back they had "forgotten" to put it back on. So it's about and hour from were i am, and it would cost more to get it(along with the trouble of telling them that they messed up) then it would be to buy a new one. But im going to check all the grounds and the ignition wires, and possibly order a new cdi. need a new one eventualy anyway

Is it possible to fry the dash or cdi that way? Thinking those may be my trouble points.

On my kill switch there are 5 wires. Green, Brown, Black, Black/white, and blue. It's wired the same as it was before it quite working. The wire that had the cap off was the black/white ground wire, which wasn't twisted with anything because its the ground and it wouldn't start that way, but i think the rain caused it to ground off with the entire bike, due to it shocking me through the brake levers.

Ok checked the ground and the fuse, both are ok. Thing is i had to rig my kill switch because the other one wasn't on there, and i think one of the caps came off. With that what do you think it is?

So i was driving to walmart and it started raining on the way back. When i applied the brake at a stop light it shocked both my hands for a second then stopped. Went to a gas station to fill up the back tire with air and the battery was dead when i tried to take off. Now when i put the key in the lights don't turn on and nothing electrical happens. I have bought a new batter and fully charged it but still nothing. Any ideas?
I'm thinking it's the wiring harness, but that's next to impossible to replace from what i have heard.

will they fit in the old spedo spot? With that or a kit to make it fit there would make it a perfect replacement for the stock one.

I put the air box back on because the spark plug reading was white with the uni and with a new plug. I want to use the uni, but I don't have immediate access to new jets. I have to drive it to school and such right now so i was trying to find a good medium until my new jets came in. With the air box, it bogs too much, so I'm sticking with the uni right now even thought its running lean.
So what needle were u talking bout?

ok so i checked out the spark plug and it was bare white, so i hooked the air box back up. now it won't break 20, it seems like its flooding. i think its way too rich so i drilled a couple of small holes in the front plate of air box, going for test run after battery charges.
