You seriously need to wear gloves when working with these kinds of chemicals. You should never mess with the vacuum side of the carb. Leave the diaphragm alone. Clean the fuel side of the carb, Yes absolutely, but don’t touch the diaphragm unless you know the slide is not moving. Its almost always a bad fuel damage and thats all in the float bowl. Pulling out the float pin shaft is done with a small drift. Jets should be cleaned on a parts cleaner and small wires or pins can be used to dislodge fully clogged jets. The mixing tube should be pulled and verified clean especially the pilot jet.

HOLY CRAP... No WAY... the FIRST valve shim I needed to do, there have been three since, I started to loosen those bolts you JUST said (minute 19:35) NOT to loosen, and then tightened them back up, BUT........................ I now have NO engine compression. 45psi when WOT tested. Until you said what you said here I assumed, because I had removed it prior to needing to do a valve shim and losing compression, it was the decompression tube removal (it was the ONLY variable I could pinpoint). NOW... after hearing you say what you said... could it have resulted (loss of engine compression) from me loosening a few of those bolts?

I believe it was the battery. My son uses it the most and his rides are typically short. Great explanation. I tested the battery and it was only registering about 12.4 V. I bought a replacement battery that is registering 12.7 and has been reconnected to the Ruckus. Still won’t turn over. It tried a little when I first connected the new battery but that seems to drain all the life. Now nothing. Thoughts?

I bought a ruckus but its mostly a toy for me and i never go over 10mph just ride it in circles around the house. Today it didnt wanna start and i had issues turning it on last weekend. Im gonna try recharging the battery sometime this week and see if that solves the problem. I noticed that everytime i pressed the on button the engine would turn over less and less as if the power was going down. I suspect its the battery. Its a bummer that the battery won't get charged if ur not going over 20mph.

I always thought that thing connected to the float was the float valve, like when the float moves down due to lower gas level it allows more gas to flow in but who knows, awesome vid totally learned a lot

Hallo get life, I’m planning to repair my spark plug hole with an threaded insert, so that means taking the cylinder head off. I have an 2009 model Honda zoomer (same as the ruckus I think, but I live in Europe so it’s called a zoomer) with an injection engine. Is this the same model, or is taking the head off your model here the same as mine? I hope your video is helpful for me. Grtz
