Hey steve, as a fellow chappy owner(I also got the scoot not running, but had a nice fat spark) no, a dead battery would not stop it from startin, mine was dead 2, I would take off the side cover, (flywheel side) & chk out the points & make sure they're clean, specially if it has been...

Well Gang, finally got that engine jolt in hi gear all figured out & fixed. It turned out 2 be the shifter, it wasn't keepin the shifter rod fully engaged in hi gear, allowing the trans 2 slip in & outta gear @ hi speed, so I took it apart @ bent the detent plate & put a washer under it 2 keep...

Hi 67, there was no pitting on the points, but there was a small hole in the center of the contact area, I think its supposed 2 be there tho, I already put the cover back on, I don't think those readings on the coil would affect jus hi gear & not low gear when they both rev the same? I jus think...

Hi Gang, hey 67, I drained the oil, didn't find ne metal or gear chips ,hahaha, so I took off the flywheel cover & cleaned the points again, took off the clutch cover & inspected the clutch & gears, they all looked 2 be fine, no chipped teeth or ne visible signs of damage, I still think the...

Hi 67, I found the xploded view of the trans in the manual ya gave me, but now, I don't think its the trans as I don't see nething that could fail cept the spring that is keeping the shaft in the hi range position. I'm starting 2 think its a hi speed ignition miss? I already cleaned the points...

yeah, 67, ya did, but I'm not sure if I saw an xploded view of the trans, but I'll chk it out again, thanks-------twosmoke

Hi 67, maybe, but I think I saw a couple on treat's site that have the same dimensions & I don't have an xploded view of that gearbox tho IDK if the spring has gone soft, it didn't do that the 1st time I had it out either-------twosmoke

Hi 67, yeah,it does rev in 1st w/no bucking, it jus does it in 2nd gear, intermittently tho. it sounds more like it slips in & outta gear, bcuz it revs higher between the cutouts. could it be the gearshift rod moving outta engagement? I don't think the clutch is slippin, when it goes, it pulls...
