Go Seahawks!!

You may need to hold the beads against the rim edges while you fill with air to get the beads to "pop" into place. Works better with a bigger, higher volume compressor but can be done with yours. Just take a ratcheting cargo strap, run it around the circumference of the tire and ratchet it down as tight as you can get it. Then apply the air. The idea is that the strap will hold the bead edges to the rim tight enough to allow the air to fill the tire faster than it can leak out. Keep filling till the beads "pop". You may have to use a long screwdriver as a "cheater" extension on the ratchet handle to get it to tighten enough.

Well the air is going somewhere. It shouldn't take much time at a gas station type air pump to bring your tire up to pressure. You either have a large hole in your tire, the tire isn't seated properly on the rim or the valve core is frozen shut and not opening to allow air to pass into the tire. I would run about 28-30psi in the front and 33-35psi in the rear. Those tires will hold over 45psi so I wouldn't worry too much about blowing them up while servicing. You might try taking the core out of the valve and applying air. You can get a cheap valve core tool at Walmart and a lot of bicycles valve caps have a slotted tool on top of them. That way you know air is going in because you will feel and hear it rush out when you take the hose off. With the core of the valve in place you should be able to hear a leak of any size, except for the sound of the pump. That's why I have a pump at the house so I can turn it on and off as needed.

As far as tire conditioner goes, most don't recommend it on two wheeled vehicles as it can get on the tread area and increase slipperiness when the roads are wet.

There was a video floating around that says you can buff out a glazed over car headlight cover using bug repellent spray. Might be worth trying if you have some on hand.

Here is a headlight assembly: www.ebay.com/itm/Sunny-Front-Headlight-49cc-50cc-GY6-Engine-Chinese-SCOOTER-/221373768506?pt=Other_Vehicle_Parts&hash=item338ae7a33a&vxp=mtr

A bit cheaper and they ship out of Texas so it shouldn't take too long to get.

With the high idle it sounds to me that the slide is installed 180 degrees off. On the bottom of the slide there is a ramp cut into one side. That is the side of the slide that should be installed next to the idle screw.

Yes, the core inside the valve stems might be loose. Happened on my Bali.
