Thanks for the complement Leo. Wasn't as fast, top end, as I had hoped. Although it was good enough. I didn't have the carburetor quit right and my gearing needs some attention. But it was as quick as my 150 up to about 30 mph. I'll have that sorted out by May 1 11.

I used 500 degree engine paint. You might have a problem with regular.

Don't ever become a pessimist. A pessimist is correct oftener than an optimist, but an optimist has more fun, and neither can stop the march of events.

Chuck,

You're most welcome! Old "Mousey Tongue" is enough to make me turn Chinese, and be a communist... Well, not quite... LOL! But a very slick ride for sure!

Thanks for the tip on the paint. I'm not sure just how hot the clutches get, but they probably would "push the envelope" on regular paint... Always best to check with someone who's already done it just to be sure! High-heat paint it will be!

Ride safe,

Leo

pumacyclessteve: the gy6 150 engine needs to have the oil changed more than most other scooters .the simple fact that the metalergy and the alloys are not the highest grade like the high end scooters .the errosoin and general wear down of the internal components.is slowe Mar 1, 2013 18:51:10 GMT -5

mukradio: Help! I am working on a 50 cc that I can't get it to idle properly. It's starts off way too high and when it warms up, it dies. It's driving me nuts and it's a short trip! Any ideas? I have disassembled the carb and cleaned it, drained and replaced gas. Mar 7, 2013 15:41:53 GMT -5

westonpersons: Adjust your valves to .006". There should be easy directions on youtube, otherwise just remove the valve cover and turn the flywheel so the engine is at top dead center, then adjust the 'taps' on the cam holder for the .006" gap. Mar 8, 2013 15:02:33 GMT -5
