Checked my plug today the end was a little white but not to bad

When doing a plug chop you want to see how the insulator looks, you dont go by the colour of the metal the tip that bends over the
tip. you want the white insulator to turn a nice light brown/tan colour. You will want to look deep down into the hole to look at the bottom of the insulator and see if theres a brown ring around it. I thought it was the tip you went by too till Word squared me upon it.

If you cant see down far enough to the bottom of the insulator you need to chop off the threaded part with a hacksaw to get a good look, like this.......thats why its called plug chops i guess?

as long as I had the scoot I never played with the idle screw. I went to push the back brake by hand down by the back tire. and i got a elec shock what hell. I did take the elc. starter of the bike but should I ground the wire to smoething or can I just unplug it.

You Have to attach the green wire to the engine. It wont run without it. The red you just tie back to itself.

The reason it runs with the brake on is the light makes a circuit to ground when the light is on. The engine was using that ground to run. When you let off the brake no more ground/no more run

Blue pills in the morning... Red at night... Yellow when you want to "fix" the scooter.
