Year old, but constantly charged via solar panel. And it DOES turn over, like I said. Just that first turn, stop, then starts normally. If it just ground slower and slower before starting anyway I'd think battery, too. Wouldn't hurt to test it, I guess.

No click, it turns the once, stops, then starts normally after that. Just leave the start button pushed, always that first turn, then it starts.

KZ has it. I found the settings online, and they seem to work. I THINK I hear a 'scrape' as it starts, I've been listening but it goes so fast I'm not sure.

Yeah, the valve settings are extremely precise. It idles better, even when low before it gets warmed up, etc.

My manual that came with the bike doesn't have the specs for the valves. Anyone know where else I can look?

Saw a vid on adjusting the valves, doesn't look too hard. Maybe a little time consuming, but not a real brain drainer. I'll see if I can get to it this weekend.

Got to dig into it on Sunday, yep. The idle was too low, but 2 of the vacuum hoses were cracked and bleeding, too. Changed those and it seems to be fine, now.

So I scooter on over to the shell to put some gas in. I put gas in. The engine now won't start.

The idle has been low for some reason. Haven't changed the setting, but I will have to sometimes keep it revved. Not a big deal in and of itself, was gonna get to it later.

The engine turns, and it DID start for a few. I had pushed it about 3/4 the way back to work and i was able to get it started and ride it the last 12 feet or so (Ok, not quite that close, but pushing isn't the fun way to ride these) back to work.

So, battery is good, definately getting spark, I don't THINK I overfilled, it was just past the blocking bar where it never gave trouble like this before. I thought maybe there were air bubbles in the gas line, but then it wouldn't have gotten me all the way to the gas station. Or run on the bowl till the air bubble hit.

Just a bit stumped.
