My wife has a Rocketa MC-17-150 scooter. Last summer, she laid it down at low speed. She was shaken up but mostly unhurt. She called me and I was able to start the scooter and get it home for her. It's been garaged ever since. A couple of weeks ago, I charged the battery and tried to start it. It turns over just fine but there seems to be absolutely no spark. My first inclination is to pull and clean the plug. After much searching and consternation, I finally found the spark plug boot. But, I was unable to access with a socket to remove the plug. So, here are my questions...
First, for those familiar with this scooter, do you think I'm on the right track? I've considered the possibility that after sitting for so long, there might be a fuel issue. But, I think if that were the case, it would at least TRY to fire.
Second, do I need to completely remove the cowling to pull the plug? If so, what a PITA (reminiscent of the early 80's Ford Mustang with a V8. You had to loosen the motor mounts and lift the engine to change the plugs).
Third, does anyone know of an online source to find a service/repair manual for this scooter? I've searched, but so far every potential source I've found wants me to download and install their document converter before even letting me see if they have the manual I need. I'm not that trusting... Any help you folks could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, in advance.
