Was going to do it myself... but then for only $120... I have someone to blame.

Main Jet

Increasing the main jet size allows more fuel to flow which helps run the engine cooler. Keeps you from burning lean... At least that is my understanding.

So instead of risking screwing something of this caliber up. I took it to the local shop.
They pushed me into a whole new motor. They said it would be easier to just swap it out instead of rebuilding the top end to find something else wrong...
What do you think?
New Motor... $480 shipped. From Joel @ MRP Labor... $120
Shiny new motor that won't die and someone I can hold responsible when something does happen....
Priceless.

If it burnt the exhaust valve... is the exhaust valve and the missing part all I need to replace? What other damage can that cause?

I didn't take it off. It just wasn't there. The guys that put in the new engine about a year ago didn't do the best job. I guess it rattled off. I don't know.

As far as step by step... no.
On my 2T 50cc I just hooked up the compression tester and turned it over as many times as I could.

It is titled a Konced 150. Very much like the TNG LowBoy. I love the style of this scoot. It has a retro trash look that gets lots o' compliments.... So far she has two names. The "Blue Canoe" and the "Hardly Davidson" Because it's a chinese scoot and for various other reasons I am having lettering made for the side that says.... "Scooter Trash" I don't have the extra $25 to buy another compression tester at this moment. So I suppose I will have to wait. Riddle me this? If it has good compression. Then what? If it doesn't? Then what?

Opened her up to do the compression test. This is what I found. What is missing here?
After getting the spark plug out. I tried screwing in the compression tester and it wouldn't fit. Too large. The spark plug is a wee little thing.
Weird because it worked on my 2T 50cc....

Thank you for your replies....
I posted the same query on another forum and got 0 feedback. Much appreciated.
Will throw a compression tester on there today and let you know immediately.
When you say "nonfix" what exactly do you mean?

I got my scoot running consistent after replacing all the vacuum and Fuel lines. Noticed white smoke after changing the oil and didn't think much of it. I was so happy it was running dependable I just thought maybe I was burning a bit of oil.
The exhaust stud has been broken and unsealed for quite sometime. It makes it loud but is dangerous to the valve seat.
I was running down the road and it died. It lost compression and now it won't start.
Did I Kill it...? Should I do a top end rebuild?
I don't know what to do.
Please help.
