I have recently installed an 82cc bbk and head in my lance charmin 49cc scooter.
Everything was runnign pretty good and I was loving it.
Today I had to go pick up the taxes on the other side of town. This was by far the longest haul ive done on her.
I was moving pretty quick, wot most of the way there. doing about 38 -40 mph.
I picked up the taxes and took a different route home, because its uphill so I took a slower road back.
about 15 minutes into my return trip i noticed that my power was slightly low, I took a turn and then the power dropped a little more, then one more time a large drop and the scoot just died out completely on me.
I figured I had siezed it and I got off took alook at the block and didnt see anything out of the ordinary, it was hot but not smoking or anything (not that it has any oil on it).
So I figured what the heck and cranked it over, it cranked over about 5 times then started.
I killed it and took a look and sniff again and didnt see anything so then I started it back up and hopped on, it was running fine no loss of power, I was about 3 minutes from my house so I drove it home and let it cool off a bit, checked the oil and everythign seemed fine, got back on and drove it back into the office, about 3 miles.
everythign was fine power was there and everything.
Any suggestions as to what may have happened?
Im thinking that it iether overheated (what are the symptoms of this) or some of the ignition electronics overheated and caused a loss of spark.
Any ideas are welcomed, thanks.
Edit:
I just thought, there was a section of road that we being worked on and they had sprayed water on it, i was puddle jumping for a bit....
