Nope, you have to atlease charge them for 6 hours.
As far as the big three are concerned (spark, fuel, compression), I know the engine runs 'cause I saw it running well after my friend wrecked his bike. I know the spark makes it to the plug but not sure if its getting to the post - ordering a new plug today. I'll get some exact numbers on compression, then I'm tearing apart the carb.
Fortunately for me, 2stroker may be able to help in person if we're able to meet.

I did a compression test the other day and got 100psi in the cylinder. I remember using oil to test for damaged rings in an old car of mine so I tried it in the scoot. For some reason I no longer got a reading, not sure if it was too loose in the socket or not, and when I was trying to crank it I saw/smelled smoke coming from either the head's radiator area or back out the carb, not sure cause I was on the other side.
My gf's dad tinkered with it and threw the idea out there of the CDI possibly being bad. Can you pop the top off and test it like an auto relay?

if you have spark more than likely it's not the cdi.If it was the cdi with spark than it would be timing on the part of the cdi. It would run like crap but would still run.starhunter wrote:I did a compression test the other day and got 100psi in the cylinder.
