Yeah I have some advice....go get your bike out of that shop and don't give them another cent. Get some pics, post them, and we'll figure this out. Rich
Boy I would agree to that..... $500.00 and it still isn't running right?? GET YOUR SCOOT out of there ASAP!!!

Ok so maybe I am jumping the gun maybe I should do all at once, but I am in the process of doing some mods to my Propel Scooter, first thing I did was install the upgraded CDI, that is giving me issues when I do a cold start, I have to grind away at the starter for like 2 minutes in (30 second bursts I know not to continually grind these things) before it starts, after it starts it runs GREAT, I can tell the difference when I am riding it, but I think the 4 degrees of advance it is giving me is the reason for the cold hard start?? anyway I have the hotter coil to install yet as well as a new exhaust and I do have a different air cleaner, looks like a k&n velocity stack, and I also purchased a few Main Jets as I know with all these mods it would be running lean so I am going to change main jet as well. should I be worried about the cold start? after I get rid of the emission garbage, and add the rest of the parts maybe I will be good to go?? what do you guys think?? thanks

thanks Guys I truly appreciate the quick reply's hopefully it will still be nice this weekend and I can start removing some of this emissions crap along with adding my new exhaust, I am also going to check my main jet, I have purchased a few jets and hopefully with the new exhaust and air cleaner my scoot should be running much better, well it runs good now but I am never satisfied with good enough....thanks again..

thank you for the quick reply, I figured I didn't need it that picture was of my old exhaust btw, I had a guy tell me I didn't need it but he said make sure I didn't plug the vent that goes to the top of the cylinder, and I was making sure that was not that one. guess I will see that when I pull it apart. is there a posting on here for the 250 cf clones of what all emissions stuff I can pull off this thing?? thanks

Ok here goes not sure if anyone has any ideas, but finding a less expensive, not cheap performance exhaust for my 250cc JMSTAR/Propel is really difficult, there is one from MRP but it like $300.00 if you can even find it in stock, does anyone know where to get the header pipe and then maybe install a muffler from an Ebay site?? apparently if I had a 150cc I could find 100's of performance exhausts for those. Not so much for the cfmoto.

I had mine backfiring and all I had to do was turn up the idle, I have a tach on this scooter which I didn't have on my old one so I set the idle speed with the tach, but anyway I set mine to 1500 rpms and have not had it back fire since, the other things people had said are also possible, but try the idle first, if you don't have a tach set it as high as you can go before the clutch/drive moves ie; rear wheel

Ok I tested mine and I have 12.79 volts coming out of that pin, now I wanted to buy a no rev/ 4 degree advanced CDI and I have square plugs so do you recommend this cdi from Scrappy Dog?? thanks Water cooled 250 Performance Ignition module www.scrappydogscooters.com/250cc_Performance.html
