This is going to be a long post but I want to give as much info as possible so bare with me. Scooter has been sitting for 3-4 years it's fully de-restricted and up until now had only CDI issues with it. The oil feed popped off the carb so I needed a head & piston. Seemed straightforward so I installed it w/o researching much. Tried to start it and it won't even pop. Beforehand I emptied old gas from tank put new gas in and ran it through the overflow valve in the carb. Pulled the carb apart looked clean and free moving, blew through all the holes. Looked at the reeds and looked ok, blew through them (not both ways, seem to seal). It's the only set of reeds I've ever dealt with so I have nothing to compare them to. I'm getting spark, not strong spark but getting spark. I have a spare CDI and even swapped those. Seems like it's not getting gas, plug is dry. I even manually choked with my hand, gas sprayed through my fingers. All I know for sure is gas is getting to the bowl. Muffler is off not sure if that matters (I'm guessing it doesn't matter). I don't have a compression tester but judging by the kickstart resistance it seems OK. I'm very mechanically inclined if a bit rusty. I would be greatful for any help you seasoned ZXers can give me.
