Howdy forum I'll leave my introduction here. I'm from, and living, in Rockingham, NC and I've got myself a 49cc Honda Ruckus. I built engines for two years as a part time after school job then went on to a Trade school where I learned the ins and outs of every part of a car. I'm certified in HVAC, hydraulics, diesel repair, heavy trucks, transmission repair, factory trained by Mercedes Benz to work on their vehicles bumper to bumper for a range of models spanning 30 years, I've worked on cars for 5 years and know them pretty damn well, I can do wood work, plumbing, painting, roofing, concrete, a little welding and torching, excavating and yard work, trouble shoot machinery I've never seen before in my life and operate all forms of equipment. I can probably do more but I can't remember what it is! If there is an opportunity to do something new I'm all for doing it.
I came to the forum to get an answer to a question I had about my brothers scooter and after browsing the questions on the forum I feel the knowledge I've collected in the past 15 years will benefit anyone with the patience to answer a few questions I may have and the ability to perform a few simple tasks.
I'll try and hang around regularly in-case I can learn a few things or even do some teaching.

Great to have you on the forum Overreved, but the name is not good for a motor(HAHA).
So what are your questions about your brothers scoot? If I can be of help I will certainly give you the right poop. I myself have worked on cars for decades and had many a hotrod and made lots of money on the streets. Still have one by the way Dynoed 462hp at the rear wheels 1/4 mile 11.73-11.78 like clockwork.

I know of no riding groups in my area, I tend to do a lot of solo riding anyway. I've had a chance to explore most of the local designated bike routs and boy do they go through some nice country areas.
As for that 450SLC keep that knuckle buster away from me! Why they put that wheel so close to the glass or shoehorned such a big engine under such a tiny hood I'll never understand.
Thanks Wile but I've already tracked down the issue with my brothers scooter. The stator coils grounded them selves out and caused a bit of a melt down and killed the spark. Nothing I can't take care of now that I've found it.
