So I've done what I can so far and Still cant get my spree running. This is my 2nd spree that ive got up and running from scratch but I just cant get this one to fire.
Heres what i've done.
- Cleaned carb, numerous times, carb is getting gas
- Checked reeed valve - fine
- Spark Plug - getting spark and have replaced with new plug
- Replaced rings and piston
- Spark plug is getting wet smells of gas
- wont start of starter fluid.
Any ideas?

yup, there's a neat article about re-surfacing the float-valve seat in the tech documents somewhere...involves Colgate. That might help ya. Definitely sounds like your float valve isn't working correctly. May need to replace it.

Most of my money is spent on scooterparts. The rest is just wasted.

So since I thought it was the carb I went and switched the bystarter and carb off my good running spree and put it on the scooter. Still wont start! Has spark. Has compression. Something I just rememebered however was that when I got the engine for this scooter the black piece/part (dont know name of it ) below the magneto/cdi was bent up so it was blocking the peice from turning around correctly. I bent it back down. Could I have bent it to far and changed the ignition timing. I have an extra one I just dont want to replace it if its nothing to worry about.

getting it started
I 've two areo that doesn't start. I have the same thing going on getting spark air and fuel. I havn't check the reed valves yet on both. the year before last the one that I was riding kind of got hard to start. And I knew that when I got it out of storage that it wasn't going to start. just don't know for sure what to do. the other one I bought for my wife and it wasn't running when I got it. So if you get yours going let me know so that I will check it on both of mine
