Hi... Man, my scoot was running ok for a couple days; valves right, carb set good, all well... then no start. It chugs like it wants to start, good spark(saw it light), good gas(getting to chamber). Won't even start with starter fluid. Any ideas, O scoot wizards? Anything! :help:   Man, I think I'm on a Chinese TV show called "Matty Zany Scooter Funtimes NO!". Thanks. |

Check to see if all your ground wires are still connected. With a bad chassis ground these scooters do crazy things like no start. Check air filter fo being stopped up. Vacuum leak can also cause the problem

Recheck your valve gaps, they can and do move after adjusting.
If you have fuel, you have spark it almost has to be a lack of compression. Or timing.

When you check the wires, do it by feel, not just site, I've had wires pop out of the connectors on a touch...make sure your air hoses, anything air related, is snug and no cracks.

Last time I worked on a scooter that had a strong spark but won't start it turned out to be a bad coil. Don't ask me how that could be possible but it was. So if you have and extra coil kicking around just temporarily connect it in the circuit just for the hell of it. It only takes a minute to do.
