I have set people straight on here who were clearly out of line. Like jumping on a guy who is already being critical of himself over drunk driving. Sometimes it's hard not to react to things that we find personally disgusting. It's not helpful to give someone bum information. I am from an older generation of people that practices accuracy and personal honesty. There is more boasting and lieing going on more so now than in prior generations. I can't explain it or tell you why it's going on. And it pisses me off when I see it because it's disgusting.

You say you're from an older generation that practices accuracy and personal honesty. How about RESPECT, kindness and a little decency? I'm 48 and that's what I was taught in my generation. I've just become a member (Because of how sincere, helpful and honest 9/10 members here seem) but I already know that spouting your politcal and society based observations and impressions laced with F bombs and derogatory remarks is not needed here. There is a time and place for it. Here's a no BS honest statement. I installed a complete BBK kit on my QMB139, while it was in the scooter in 2 hours and 45 minutes. The most "Specialized tool I used was a feeler guage and torque wrench (Yes a torqued every bolt to spec. That's how I was taught). And this was my VERY FIRST time opening up these wonderful little 4 stroke motors. It's not hard and doesnt require ANY specialized tools. It takes time and patience. I spent 2 weeks READING and watching everything I could about doing it before I ever picked up a wrench. Feel free to call me a liar if you choose. I am a member of more than a few boards and I can honestly say the people on here are some of the most helpful I have ever encountered, anywhere. And for what its worth, if you're doing this type of work by FLASHLIGHT, that may be part of your issues [/quote]

I wasn't directing my comments at one person. I can see your specialty is cheap shot. It was actually one of those lights you wear on top of your head. And I am doing this in the parking lot at work where it broke down. That's why I am already doing better then you. I don't attack people individually because that wouldn't be right. You start out talking respect and then you end your communication with a cheap shot. Speaks for itself.

Hiding behind generalizations isn't exactly noble. Hope you get your scooter fixed anyway.

Well, getting back to the rebuild. I ordered 72cc ring set from Monster scooter parts. I am going to back out of rebuilding this as 50cc and go for the 72cc. I was running the same displacement (72cc) that I was running on an xr50 road bike and was respectful of the extra power. Everytime I would get pulled over I would say to the officer "it's only one speed officer" and it was with a top speed of 53mph.

Society says subtract 10 minutes due to larger circlips.

I still have the circlips from the kit. I snapped one ring but have ordered a new set.

giving a hurried up answer of 30 minutes about might of got him, new, to hurry up and break things. and to give that out to people as a suggestion, makes them think they dont have to think about it, then break it. if you can get it together, getting it together and doign it right are 2 different things. and you dont even think putting it together so that was a bad response. i cant do my 2 stroke in 30 minutes is whats got me confused on this one. not even close. maybe maybe sort of near close. but if do all the steps anddo it right, and not take for granted this person has done this job, or the excuse of oh i can blame it on them for not doing this step. then i could do mine in 20 minutes. or less but i do mine in 40 minutes, doing good.45 maybe.

I've said it before, it's takes as long as it takes. There is no wrong answer. It's not a race. I had an issues in my last 2T build that cost me hours. It happens.

While you are commenting on the SSR Lazer 5, what about electric scooters say about 800-1000 watts. Anyone try that?.

It could live a very happy life being owned by me. Hahaha And if you do decide to sell it, let me know before it gets laid down and plastics get messed up.

I've said it before, it's takes as long as it takes. There is no wrong answer. It's not a race. I had an issues in my last 2T build that cost me hours. It happens. any answer's a right answer? no, i dont think so, there are wrong answers. 30 minutes sounds unrealistic to me, but it also sounds like the amount of time it would take a mechanic to finish a job on my car that doesnt work later. thats what kind of answer it is, not a, not wrong answer. reading back over the original person who started this, their 2 posts, it seems they think you need special tools. then thinks that this would take, 12 hours. to tell someoen saying that 30 minutse is a wrong answer and seems unrealistic unless you look at it compared to other jobs, that some other person done on your car or something before, not something, you'd do. if you think your wacked job is the right way please leave. thats the wrong answer to someone asking how to do a job, thinking special tools and that the job will take a long time would take. your answer is the answer to what youd never see, on the bill, or any where else. your answer isnt what you tell someone askign how long with special tools it takes to finish something. you guys where racing to see hwos right, now its not a race, and no wrong answer. and your yelling at him for voicing opinoins about stuff, which this is all i seen. your answers wrong to me and threw him off track. where not here to discuss how much money you can jack off of, people at yoru monkey wrench shop. this throws me off on rebuilding my 2-stroke is why im respnding here.

If you are rebuild your 2 stroke at night, with candle lights, with a pair of pliers and a flat screw driver, you have a very good chance of messing stuff up. Please tell me where anyone of us said it HAD TO BE DONE in 30 mins. 30 minutes its a very realistic time when doing it in good conditions (the engine pulled out and placed on a work bench). The OP was already aware of this since he had other posts where he was told about how long it takes and the relative easiness of changing a top end kit on a 4 stroke scooter. Only very late in the thread did he mention that he was doing this with a flashlight in a parking lot. If i would have known from the start, my one and only advice would have been: Get it home where you can work on it properly. Unless you're stranded on the road and very far from home, i see nothing that make sense in playing "jungle mecanics" a few miles away from a tool box and a proper work place.

Your unpunctuated incoherent rabble is difficult to read. I don't understand what your trying to convey. I don't have a shop, I help a lot of people fix things, cars, small engines, whatever, mostly for free because I enjoy it. I'm here to learn, and help others learn from my mistakes and experiences. Not to argue over anyone's opinion of me or my advise. If you don't like what I have to say, ignore it. Or drop by my place some time and we can have a beer and discuss it. I've been taking things apart and putting them back together for a long time. I'm not a pro, but I've been pretty successful keep my equipment and a lot of other people's equipment working.
