WOW!. A lot of work and well worth it. More padding on the seat and a old fart like me could ride it. Let us know how she goes.

Retrace everything you did. If it didn't do this before, then it is some thing you did. Take a couple deep breaths and have a couple of beers. Double check every thing and never give up. Starter connections? ?// |

Hi shally: I used a angle grinder With a cut off wheel. Harbor Freight has a angle grinder for 10 bucks and also have the cut off wheels. Cut thru the coils like butter. The hard part was getting the nut inside the spring held so I could unscrew the end to get the spring off. I forgot what size the nut is. Need a thin open end wrench. Pry the spring apart to get to the nut. When you cut two coils of each one. You need to grind the end of the coil fairly flat like the coil you cut off . Set the end that you unscrewed on the spring to see if set fairly straight . When you screw the end back on just snug it against the spring . Make sure both springs are the same height. Also remember the rear tire max pressure is 5 psi. its confusing because it says 25 psi to seat the tire to rim when installing a tire.

If it was in 150 pieces are you sure you assemble the parts correctly. Timing mark lined up is the main concern. Do you have spark at the plug and of course fuel.

Install the gaskets as they come. They are flat and the surfaces are machined to except the gasket as is. Just my opinion . No mess and no blow out.

I spent the checking ignition connection, spark plug color, adjusting the valve. All was connected, spark plug tan and valve gap exact. I replaced the CDI that came with the big bore kit with the blue fin marked for racing. So far so good. I will add that yesterday the temp. was 95 f. may have contributed to CDI failure . That is if it was the CDI. Need to take a long ride tomorrow to be sure. It's nice to be retired and do what you want when you want. Scooterbob Round pants. Thanks for your help alleyoop.

I wrote a long message about a problem with my scooter. Hit post and never showed. I'll make it short. My scooter started backfiring and missing on acceleration. I have another CDI I will try that first. Then check the plug color. It has been running great started great. Now it turns over a lot before it starts but idles fine. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I cut two coils off the springs and turn out the thread on upper eye. The springs were compressed way to much. I'm happy to say it worked out great. I now have some spring action and a smoother ride.
