my dad said tonight we're gonna start taking break his engine down piece by piece and put the parts on mine until it starts that has great potential to be a whoooole lot of wasted effort..because if compression is low it wont make any difference how many parts you throw at it. haul it down to ace, or o'riellies to do the compression test. . you dont have to take the bike there. you go rent the tool and bring the tool home....then take the tool back when you are done...they rent all kinds of tools out...to people with ID of course. take a breath man....chill till you can go rent the compression tester. anything else at this point is likely wasted effort. Imagine doing all kinds of operations on a person who ended up having heart failure and needing a transplant in the first place. |

dad was talking to a buddy, he said to ask you if they have a primer button or something like that on the carbs (i told him no because its a sealed carb but he told me to ask anyway)

they have a pump that shoots gas in when you twist the throttle yeah...if you havent been pumping the throttle when you spin it over try it....pump it about 10 times and hit the start button....then again....and again....might work might not...still needs a compression test no matter what though...to evaluate the health of the engine.
a low compression motor will need a great deal of priming (pumping the throttle) to get started...if its gonna start at all.
I had a 1976 Plymouth Fury back in the 90s.....you had to pump the gas pedal about 30 times in the morning to get it to start.....big ol iron head V8 lol.
New fuel injected cars the computer handles the gas...so you dont have to prime them like that....but back in the carburetor days you had to...but scoots are carbed like that big boat i had.

I'm not trying to be an a-hole here, but the intakes crack right beside, and parallel to, the clamp that holds the carburetor on, making a crack almost impossible to see unless you get bending the manifold around and looking in that area. Trouble is: if you get too rough with it you will crack it looking for the crack, so go easy with it.

reveeen, your not being an ahole at ALL trust me, ive been treated way worse here, and i thank you for your input. since i've checked it over and over and seen no cracks, and yet people still tell me thats what the problem is, i've decided to go ahead and replace the ($10) intake hose. we'll see how that goes, thanks so much for your input and i really hope this works. thanks again. peace.

I was told the fix on this was a torn carb diaphram.
