Anyone have any experience or opinions about using three electrode spark plugs?

I’ve had this Buddy 50 for a few months now and finally got around to getting it looking special. The PO left it out in the weather for a year and the paint was super faded from what once was a beautiful tangerine to a crappy yellow. The gas tank had to be cleaned of rust with acid and recoated. I did some research and found some details on decals for it. Just gave it a new coat of paint. Now for some new tires and brakes!

Just unpacked this guy. First online purchase and couldn’t be happier with the decision. I paid the extra $199 yo have it delivered assembled so I only had to uncrate it! I read several threads on PDI and did most of the items with the exception of the loctite step. I’ll get to that shortly but it looks like most of the bolts are already done. The carb idle needed a little adjustment but other than that I changed the oil and gear oil, replaced the spark plug with an NGK. I’ve already put 100 miles on it and it’s a nice speedy bike and a change from my traditional scoot!

These carbs are pretty basic. Just work on a protected surface like a newspaper. I use a pen or marker as I'm taking it apart to draw circles on the paper and notes about the location of the parts. Most have different size screws so make sure everything goes back in the right place. Get some good carb solvent and put the parts in a can or plastic jug (make sure it's very clean) and spray down or soak the parts. I use a cheap toothbrush in a kids size to scrub everything. Be careful when you get to the float and needles parts. The float is plastic and can be broken easily. The needle has a small clip that holds it to the float. You can scrub everything else though. If all else fails, new carbs are super cheap. Get some good gloves the black ones work well so you don't smell like gas and solvent for a few days afterward!

Just working on installing an alarm. I already have a disc alarm and a chain but scoots get stolen here all the time. Just want it to make some noise too.

It was the kill switch in the brake handle. Ordering two more and that should fix the problem.

Check the brake light switches in the brake handle. These are also safety switches. Mine got jammed closed and wouldn't let the scoot start.

Just took all the plastic off my Geely 50 and cleaned it up. Had it running and working great. Went back out today and it would not start at all. Battery is fully charged and the starter runs if jumped to the battery. Turns and brakes work too. Just no headlight or starting with the button. Any help is appreciated.
