Got a problem, signals aren't working correctly when battery was low in juice after driving to work & lunch. Also, charged battery, it's at 12.43 volts, but starter acts like battery is dead. Any simple ideas of what is wrong?

This is what was wrong. There exists a seal that sits behind rod that is in head. The seal can out. It is back in & scooter is good to go

I staggered, the problem is the valve rods were bent, therefore leaked & bad to no compression. Costs 2 hours of labor to fix though. $65 an hour.

It is $286, at their place, on anniversary. Anyway, I got it all the way back together, compression is still very low, 40 to 50 psi. I'm having my dad change out valve rods. He thinks if the rods are bent even a little bit then the compression will be off, so, that is the very last thing to try before new engine, or new scooter, yes?

I didn't that, I'm going you go outside in a bit a look at it. Maybe it isn't so badly bent that I can still use it

OK, so I bent the crap out if the c ring that you put in to keep the pin (metal shaft) that keeps the piston on the rod. I'll need a new one.
