Weld, I would take that thread link if you have it handy. I adjusted the valves on this scooter about 4 months (maybe 25 miles) ago. I can check them again

Scooter won’t start after being left in rain

Accidentally left my scooter out in the rain and now won’t start. I’ve drained carb and gas tank and replaced the spark plug but still no luck. It just cranks and cranks. Where should I go next?

Slight fuel leak when stored

My Hawk appears to drip fuel slightly when it’s parked for a few days. I’ve already checked the drain screw on the carb. Any ideas?

I do vaguely remember that. That’s a pretty significant issue for the buyer and retailer since it’s obviously a manufacturer defect. Those counter balanced engines made all the difference.

Measures a tidy 1/2”. I guess my confusion is this: a 428 chain seems to “fit” better on a 520 sprocket?
