been a while since i have had a chance to get online here, but just an update scoot is running great been riding as often as i can and so far so good, getting around 45-48 mph tops. have not really been pushing it hard though that often. just happy at this point that it is comfortable and dependable.....now that i typed this i am waiting to see what goes wrong next....lol  thanks again to everyone who helped out greatly appreciated.

I dont  think i will ever stop posting i think now i am addicted to my scooter.......   okay full report now, the plug is looking good it is a bownish tanish color so i dont think i am running to lean. the bike runs great and starts quickly. Maybe since it has been so long that i rode it and have been riding another scooter i am confused but the acceleration seems way off, way slower than I remembered it to be. when i pulled the variator and belt all looked good and the rollers were fine without any flat spots and the belt is pretty new less than 500 miles on it. The top speed I would say has been improved by about 3-5 mph average. what would I need to do next to bump it up a little better? anyway to mod the stock exhaust easily? new carb and intake? I am not looking to spend a bunch as money is a tad tight right now, but just thinking for future upgrades and any that can be done easily with little $$$$$'s  thanks again for everyones input

yeah the gauge was reading like 148-49, maybe i was doing the test wrong.... held throttle wide open, hit the start button and let it run for about five seconds or so, looked at the gauge. reset the gauge and repeated a few times. and 148-149 was the highest reading, the lowest was around 120 but that is only if i bumped the started and the piston probably only moved up and down once....... so what is the best way to get rid of the carbon build up with out taking it apart? I had the what i assume is the head off of the piston sleeve and the bottom of that underside where the spark plug hole is was pretty clean, so i cleaned it some more just to make it new looking and new gasket etc and back on it went. the top of the piston was brown-ish but maybe that was a layer of brown carbon, dont know. anyhow best way to clean it up? thanks

no problem and THANK YOU for lending it to me, very very cool of you to do so. I would not have gotten this far at all without this forum and your direct help, its awesome and very appreciated for sure. Just waiting for my cdi to get here. hopefully it will fire up and be ready to ride again.....Its such a fun little scooter. I will post my progress once it arrives and probably a bunch of other questions if or when new problems pop up.

quick question.....was just reading some post on here and was wondering what is the best way to check the oil pump that it is working? should the line running into the carb from the "oil pump area" be full? in other words if i pull the hose off the carb that feeds the oil should it come pouring out? I have just noticed that during all of my trying to fix my scoot that my oil level has not gone down that much at all during prior use, have always made a habit of keeping the tank topped off though. but I just want to be sure I am getting proper oil flowing, thanks

zombie,   your tester should be to you soon, dont forget to look inside it, thanks again man!

lol...gotcha man, no problem. thanks
