check your compression with the throttle closed...not open.....never heard of holding the throttle open to check compression....your defeating the purpose...

I believe that he is asking how to remove the rear wheel assembly on his scoot...not how to remove the tire from the wheel.....the way these stiff 60 series tires are....a real tire machine works better and will not destroy the aluminum wheel....first...loosen the rear axle nut first with the scoot on the ground....do not remove just yet...makes it easier to hold the tire while using a 1/2 drive socket and brake over bar.....then place scooter on center stand...remove muffler bolts....lossen bolt on exhaust pipe...remove the muffler assembly....then remove the rear brake caliper ....don't disconnect the hose just let the caliper hang from the hose...remove the rear shock....I opened a hole in the seat pan bottom to remove the top shock bolt...then the aluminum bracket that holds the rear axle....the rear wheel will be able to be removed....also replace the valve stems if you have not already done so to American made units...the china stuff comes apart.... I think the stem size is .343..I used 90 degree chrome units that have two lock nuts to attach the stem....give it a try....

Sounds like the time to adjust the valves situation...not sure why everyone thinks the carb has a problem....and they start messing with it...I have never touched the carb adjustments for 5800 miles....3yrs.....the valves fixed everything.... .004 intake.... .006 exhaust.... then reset the idle.....1700-2000....try it...you will like it....the low mileage is the give away...the boys across the pond can not adjust the valves properly at the factory or where ever they put these scooters together....every scooter has to have the adjustment done...period...I installed the manual choke mod....allowing me to adjust the idle with the choke...

PS: how good is your battery....they are small and they loose power real fast....just a thought.....that is why I use a battery tender jr....when the bike is sitting in the garage it has charger connected....it will not over charge the battery and melt it....it works great...the first battery I had (OEM) lasted 30 months which is great...the starters hardly go bad.....check your solenoid (starter relay) it could be bad and heats up and will not start the engine...

Welcome to the fun part of scooter ownership....getting it to start....not knowing what scooter you have and what engine....244cc Honda or 257cc Yamaha....the clone wars....I have a MC54B-250 (257) Roketa (Honda Majesty clone) and the valves are set to .004 intake.... .006 exhaust...look around on the forums....a ton of info awaits you.....that is the enricher that is your automatic choke that has the black cover and goes into the carb....will your engine try to turn over....during the time period that it will not start...a fully charged battery will do wonders in that department....I use a battery tender jr.....which keeps the battery conditioned for longer life...not sure about your antifreeze...use 50/50 Prestone....or any antifreeze (coolant) that is for aluminum engines...10W/40 motor oil.....transmission gear lube 75/90 wt.....DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid..change out the valve stems....I have 5600 miles on my ride and going strong....3 yrs old...keep trying you will get it going....getting the valves adjusted will cure alot of your problems...no compression....no vaccum...no fuel pump...all an engine amounts to is an air pump....
