Getting my Sugar_scoot painted! Ordered all the plastics I need, loading it up now to head to the paint shop. Now here's the question, should I paint her back pink with purple flames? Or should I paint her purple with pink flames? I think it might look better with the light pink flames over the darker purple bike. Let me know what you guys think!

LOL JR, don't know them personally YET. But I'll sure go make friends at the dealership now. ; We'll keep you posted if we find anything out about it.

larrball, the water pump's on the opposite side of the bike, not sure how that would be a weep hole for it. Besides, the hole is in the cylinder block part of the engine, it would have to weep uphill.

Curiouser and curiouser! LOL Same thing we found here. Only I can't find a single picture in the service manual that actually shows that spot without the plastics. I may just run by the dealer here tomorrow and show them the pic, see if they have any ideas.

That's my thinking too JR. LOL In the manual it says something about a hole with a plug for you to make sure the piston is at TDC when setting valve lash. Maybe plugs missing and this is it? I have no clue, Dwayne says probably not. Haven't "looked" for the plug and peep hole yet. We will for sure find a way to plug it. It doesn't have vacuum, got the bike to idle, but not enough fuel to rev yet, or water/oil shooting out while running, just trickling clear water from where they PUT OUT A FIRE!! LOL Used carb cleaner as starter fluid, got set on fire briefly, put it out with the water hose. This is turning out to be highly entertaining if nothing else! LOL.

I looked at every picture in that manual JR. LOL I don't think it's drilled though, it looks machined in, no signs of aftermarket drilling that we can see. Dwayne says it may be a hole that was used to hold it while machining. So far, no sure fire answers. :

Yep, this is going to be QUITE the project bike. We have water in the oil, water in the intake manifold, water EVERY WHERE!! This thing got flooded while it was sitting up. Oh well, one step at the time. Injectors firing finally. Still not cranking, but getting there.

Thanks for trying to help JR. We've come to realize that the part we need, the ckp, is not available without buying the stator. If you look at the picture on the last link, you see the first plastic box on the stator wire, by the number 6? That's the CPK, crankshaft positioning sensor. You can't buy one without the other. Thanks for that link though, it saves us about a hundred bucks. ; One positive so far, the fuel pump was bad from sitting with nasty gas for so long. Dwayne pulled it out, took the plastic case apart, tested the pump itself, it was bad. He started looking at it, guess what? It's the same pump Chevy uses for a shiitake load of trucks! Bought one off the shelf at advance, now we're pumping fuel. It had a lot of water in the oil, muddy cloudy oil. We're hoping it's from sitting 2-3 years, not because of mechanical failure. It was said to be running when the owner died, then the kids tried to ride it and it wouldn't crank. So far, drained all the fluids, replaced the fuel pump, removed the stator and cleaned all connections, replaced, now we have fire, fuel injectors are firing, fuel pump is pumping, and a new battery. Tomorrow we add the fluids and try to fire her up! If we can get her to run we'll do a proper PDI after we let the oil circulate a bit. See if it collects any more moisture. She's a project bike, but we have time and patience, hope it doesn't get too expensive or Dwayne'll be riding this thing til he's 70 to make it pay off! LOL
