Scooter #3
Project SCOOT
150ccc "Modern Sportbike Style" in Red/Black/Silver
This was a project that I bought with a friend when we decided we needed something to tinker with. When we bought it, it was non-running, the tires were flat and the scoot was in pieces. The previous owner had a problem with it and tried to fix it, but never solved the problems. After getting frustrated, she just put it in the backyard under a tarp and let it sit for a year. When we got it, besides not running, the headlights didn't work, battery wouldn't charge, engine (once running) wouldn't go past 4000 RPM's (should go to 8000 RPM's).
At this point we have mostly fixed everything except for 2 little problems. The speedometer doesn't read correctly and the engine has a little jerk at around 1/2 throttle.
What we did:
Replaced Battery Replaced Stator and Magneto Replaced Regulator/Retifier Replaced Exhaust Gasket Replaced Muffler Replaced Fuel Filter Replaced Fuel Lines Replaced Vacuum Lines Flushed gas tank Cleaned Carburetor Changed Engine Oil Changed Gear Oil Adjusted Brakes
To Do: Replace Speedometer Cable Re-Jet carb
