Give each rocker a name. Rocker #1 and Rocker #2. Spin engine. You should see a moving sequence of 1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2 not 1,1,2,1,1,2,2,1,2 or anything other than 2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1

Thats whats going on, as I turn the engine I will see: (Front Rocker Is 1, Rear is 2) 1,1,2,1,1,2 or 1,1,1,2,1,1,2,1,1

From what you describe, you may want to look further into the engine like lifters and the rollers on the lifters. You should not be seeing anything but 1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2

Good idea Hoop!

The Scoot is Fixed. The issue was actually the lifter, the bearing was shot, and had alot of play in it. Replaced the lifter, and seals, put on about 100 miles and all seems good.

Thanks to everyone for all your help.

Glad you found the problem before it turned into something even bigger.
