scooter falls over and ., . .

OK for all the peeps that have seen my other posts things have been going great scooter has been running good until now.

So the other night I came out of work and noticed that my Scoot had been kicked over It was on the stand when I parked it.

Ok for the problem I noticed off the bat that my rear break lever was broke as well as some of my new paint job. no biggie easy stuff to replace. But here is the pickle I checked every thing else for damage as I let the scoot settle we all know a scoot laying on its side for a short time is never a good thing. I waited bout 45min or so and headed home 2.5 miles and she fired up just fine till later on in the week I noticed that my rmps now jump . I can be sitting at a light and all of my lights will go off for a min or my rmp gauge will go bonkers wile driving but no change in rev or speed wile it is having its boogie woogie fit. I am thinking I have a electrical short now some were.

I drove to charlotte the other night bout 30 miles And did not seem to have any problems other then my rpms looking a bit higher then normal and today they were a lot higher but once i touch my brake front onlys atm . they drop fast well the gauge anyway does. and as for my ride home she was doing the same thing but had a back fire bout 4 of them on my 2.5 mile ride slight power loss the spit spit.


I am waiting on my new fuel line and #88 main jet to get here and see if that fixes the problem once I re-tune . I will searching for shorts right after I make this post I have a break lever that may work.(i hope)

things changed over the past couple weeks ran great until...being knocked over
scrappy air filter
valves .004 and .005
1500rpm clutch spring
stock weight rollers shop failed at telling me the weight grrr


Any Ideas as to what could have went haywire I have my thoughts but I value my peers thoughts as well..

Just the scooter being laid over, I'd think about the oil running into places it does not belong (soaking the air filter, but since you put an after market filter in you probably do not have a vacuum line/crankcase vent hose going to an air cleaner box), perhaps the fuel gauge going wacko because the float can get messed up, battery electrolyte running out onto the ground or other places. It would be possible for the fuel to run into the cylinder and if a valve were open to the crank case. I have no idea why the electrical system would go hay wire, except it hitting hard enough to jog something loose or even breaking something.

Falling should not effect the fuel line, or the jets, or any of the other parts you changed, again unless it really hit hard then something might loosen up.

Took off the front of the scoot tonight looking for bad spots in the wires and such and everything (looks) ok. one thing I did notice today is after warming up and heading to work temp 45-50ish outside my rpms ran bout 6k @ 30mph and tonight on the way home at the same speed they ran bout 8k and above.

what has me puzzled is that even with the rpm reading saying that it is hight speed is steady and motor tone is unchanged from the lower 6k rpm. and when the rpm readings start to go nuts nothing changes ether but If i am driving and tap the break the rpm needle drops but the rpms its self do not.

I am thinking only time will tell what happens next I will figure it out one way or another I have not had a problem beat me yet
