I remember there being many options in scooters. Types for town driving and open roads.
We were convinced we needed race spec plugs to go faster. -
BP5E were in

Ok good to know

make sure you get points and rotor for yours should be a Delco dizzy D202 or suchlike
glad you did the tappets I should have realised that its often forgotten but Doug got in
Ive just phoned him and he reminded me of what i had forgotten Ha !
also when you pull the choke does the thing actualy operate the carb barrier ??
ignor Doug he likes gauges not dimmmmm bulbs
Pete
I'll check the choke.
Moss don't have any BP6HS. Is there another option?

Paula,
You've re-torqued the head? If you have it's likely the tappet gaps are now wrong. So resetting the tappets would be a good idea.
Doug
Yeah, i did them. They were very close. Only had to adjust 4 of them.

I don't have any extra plugs. I think i need a new rotor. The old one was in a terrible state. I've changed the cap but don't have a rotor annoyingly. I've cleaned it up but it doesn't look good.
I've got a spark though. There's fuel getting to the carbs but I thought it was blocked until i blew it through. There was a bit of a pop as it cleared???
The carbs needed oil too. They were a bit sticky. Everywhere i've looked i think i've found the problem.
I'm running accuspark "points".
I could pop over to Moss tomorrow morning and get a new rotor and plugs. I bet that'll do it. -
Still no go.
I've come in as it's starting to rain. It was running fine before i went for a drive and got stuck in traffic. It was still running ok when i got home though. Maybe a little overheated. Then the next day it wouldn't start.
It's almost like it would start with a push and then be fine after a few good revs, but that might be wishful thinking.
I'll charge up the batteries (i have a couple) and try again after he's had a night to think about it.
Such a shame, i want to see if the head is ok now. Maybe I warped it going for that drive.

Have you got any brake cleaner Paula, spray some into the carbs and then try.
Tony.
I do! Stand by!

Still no go.
This is unbelievably frustrating! I have a spark now at least
-
Yes. But the rotor and cap are in a bit of a state. Trying that now
-
It’s not starting. It nearly goes, then throws the starter out. Very frustrating

Bear in mind if the head comes off that leads to decoking, valve seat grinding, hardened valve seats, machining head face to increase comp ratio, gas flowing and pounds more😆
The torque it is!

Oooooooo decisions decisions😳

Or should I lift it?
-
I’ve re torqued now.
might as well re assemble.i might still have time to do the head if it fails later today. Weather permitting
-
Washers look like this
-
I've got my Haynes so i'm good with the order. They weren't very tight. I could easily undo them with a normal ratchet.
-
I've managed to loosen them all half a turn.
It's so tempting to carry on and get the head off, but I'll do the re-torque.I think i can work around that dowel if that's what it's called
-
I can’t get this little fella out
-
It’s the sort of area where a gazebo could mean a farmers market or a murder!

Ooooohhhh... that's not good! That's a lot of fluid loss. It looks like it's with the engine running, Pete, and that's being blown out rhythmically as the engine rotates. Head off!
(BTW what endoscope did you buy, Paula?)
Sorry Colin. Missed your question.
