OK I`m going to go ahead without any new parts because I don`t want to buy anything I don`t need. I pulled the motor this morning by myself. I`m going to watch a couple of videos maybe twice before i go any further. Wish me Luck!

I`m a little reluctant about taking it apart before i have the parts to fix it. Can you advise me on what to buy to start and where i can get them. Depending on the cost I may have to wait until I can get everything or not.

Yes I watched those videos before I did the valve adjustment. And yes i did it correct. I have doublechecked everything I have done. The videos available online are so good I feel confident I can do the replacement of the rings, but if something else is wrong once i get in there I don`t know what to look for. As I said before I have limited space so I will have to do it outside in my Yard. I live in an 8 by 20 Utility Trailor that I have fixed up to model a Man Cave that I saw Online. I have all the basics except running water and I am able to bring that in. I have been Living Small for 12 years now and wouldn`t have it any other way.

Been trying to get ahold of him but he never answers his phone. He is a dealer in Eugene Oregon for Affordable Motorsports. Is there a Distributer that deals with the different dealers? I paid him $786.00 in cash. I got the paperwork for the title and got a title ffrom the state and plates good for 4 years and now i can`t even go around the block. He never said anything about a warrenty and I never thought to ask. Oh the title transfer and plates cost me another $270.00 So I`m into it a little over $1000.00.

Was just checking on how to do above job and if i have to do all that i may as well get a big bore kit and upgrade. Couldn`t be any harder than just doing the rings!

Redid the test this morning and i do have more compression. So my Rings are shot. How can they be when it only has 250 miles on it? I guess i should be asking is there a quick fix or am i gonna have to put in new rings because i don`t know if i can do it? Gonna need a walkthrough.

No it does not push my finger off. I feel pressure but not enough to move my finger off. I guess I have to do some major work or junk the thing huh? The shop i took it to said he dribbled some oil down the clyender and got better pressure but I don`t know how to reenact that to check myself.

I`m back! OK Here`s what i can do. I bought a Laptop computer with a webcam built into it. Pretty good one too. I`m gonna set up some lights so you can see everything and take video of the scoot and the motor and hoses. Then if you want and you can tell me when you will be available i can carry the laptop out and show you live and in realtime. Or I can Post the video on here if i can figure it out. This is all new to me but i want that scooter for transportation. Let me know and i`ll get going on the video and see what i can come up with ok.

I gave up trying to fix my scoot. I just don`t have the place to work on it or the tools. I took it to a shop that sells mopeds similar to mine and they said they would look at it. They put a running new moped with the same motor as mine next to it and checked everything. Mine has low compression and they think thats why it won`t run. They didn`t charge me a dime but suggested i take it elsewhere. The compression was 90 and they said it should be well over 100. I looked on the internet and found that was not necessarily the case, since it is hard to get an accurate reading with so small of an engine. So now i`m stuck with a new scoot that won`t run. Only rode it 250 miles. Any offers?

rechecked everything and now i am getting no spark when checking on the manifold. i am sure i had spark before so i am confused as to why i don`t now. the ground wire is attached and doesnt appear damaged.
