Any of y'all had experience with a tgb r50x? I have a 2006 that has been a pain since I bought it in reliable transportation " condition. That was a lie, lol. I've bounced back and forth from spark to fuel problems, crank seals/bearing at times. Here's the story...
I bought it, used, pretty much stock as far as I have found, except the wretched blue "racing" cdi, different coil and plug wire. The owner had it at a motorcycle shop to get a new battery and to be checked out. The shop owner said it ran great, that he rode it around for over a half hour that day. I left with it, made it two miles, it died while idling at a light, and wouldn't start until I let it sit for a bit. That's pretty much as much as I've rode it since buying it, because that would happen unless I kept feathering the throttle. Then it was almost impossible to start.
I've read around that there's no real tested replacement cdi for it, that the stators are know to go bad and fail after heating up, and that the cranks are weak in the tgb.
What I've done- swapped the carb to a larger one that was under the seat, no luck. Checked the plug wire and coil on my other scooter, fine. Checked that it was getting fuel, absolutely. Once it dies and I try to restart it, it basically drenches the plug. So then I started messing with jetting and idle air fuel screw settings. No luck. Checked power from the stator and cdi, I'm getting it, but not sure on the readings. Check the spark the old fashioned way, it hits, but nowhere near as hard as my super nine and my taotao. That's where I go back to weak spark and stator.
I let it sit for many months while I was riding and tuning my super nine (my beast) then decided to check it out again. I've got it to the point of running, but acts as if I'm running rich when I get a load on it and try to get above 1/4 throttle. I started to mess with the jetting again, at the lowest jet I have for it, 50, it still does it.
Side note, the cdi harness from the bike is rectangular, six wires to it. The cdi has only five wires coming from the six possibly spots in it's harness. The one wire that isn't on the cdi harness that comes from the bike has power when the ignition is turned on. I am not very electrically smart on these things, but I want to assume that that wire seems useful.
So, if you've made it this far, anyone have any suggestions? I really don't want to dump any money into unnecessary parts. I'm thinking to find a stock cdi (might get the digital dash back in proper working order), or/and a stator.
Thanks in advance!
