I ran it for 300 miles with out exhaust, got muffler put back on, set valves after that. Most of the problems are gone. It now only messes up now sometimes. It's much better.

It still doesn't want to restart after running it then shutting it off, then 5 mins later trying to start again, but instead of 30 mins, now it's like 10 mins. Yea

No it still starts & runs, I just couldn't get it to not leak exhaust at exhaust manifold. Bolt missimh & all. It still runs. I'm replacing all the hoses monday. Oil change too, can't wait. I applied the j b weld, & the inferno muffler/exhaust repair stuff. Hope it seals exhaust. I would like to get as many months as possible out of scooter, save up $, get a new one at some point. Sell or, use as spare parts.

I couldn't even scratch the bit. I'm going to put oven thermometer on it hot still running tonight & see how high temperature gets. If it's under I'm j b welding, if it's over, I'll get my uncle to just weld it out right.

I'm just hoping the exhaust only gets to 400-500 degrees fahrenheit.

Here is what I'm doing. On monday, federal holiday, I'm replacing all vacuum & fuel hoses, & I am applying presure from underneith the muffler fitting, to make it snug, then j b weilding it to the nice tapper bit, after that is cured, I'm using an exhaust sealer to close down any left over gap. That should seal it forever.

Running right isn't the problem, it won't restart after getting hot after driving it. Can it be the hoses?

Ok, it still has exhaust leak, the exhaust is too strong, it pushed the whatever away enough, it still is acting up. I am curious. Is it possible that something gets hot and won't run aster I shut it off after it is fully warm? Think experts think. I can't figure this out.
