Got another flip for ya! I grabbed this 2013 Bintelli Sprint from a fellow on Craigslist for $250.  It's in nice shape cosmetically and it does run, but it won't idle without holding the throttle.  You can see Ellie had to check it out lol. The seller mentioned something about the rear shock being broken so the tire rubbed- broken rear shock my butt! It looks like a broken engine mount! I haven't even really taken a look under there but you can be sure I'll thoroughly dig into this baby soon! |

Is the rear end pushed was over? Yeah, wow, almost looks like the wheel is totally off the scoot in this shot. Enlarged the pic but can't tell what's goin on. |

Yes, the seller mentioned that he had to buy a new rear tire- paid a place $140!- They told him the reason the tire was rubbing was because of a broken rear shock. What baloney- the rear shock is just fine. It was a broken motor mount. Even a quick simple inspection would have shown this, I just really don't understand these scooter places and how they can be so absurdley incompetent.

Pulled the engine and spiffed it up, adjusted the valves, and changed the oil... The valves were quite tight and I set them to; intake: .003, ex: .004. Did some quick touch-ups and this baby is sparkling clean! Gotta love these newer scoot flips!   Here's the broken engine mount that the scooter place- I don't know which one- claimed was a broken rear shock causing the rear of the scoot to shift and ruin the tire...  Prepped...  ...and welded! I found more cracks at the base of the mount- this thing was about to rip completely off!   Cleaned up and repainted...  The engine is remounted and fired right up! Sounds great!  |

Looks like this is gone already! Niz took down the ad at least. He is really getting quick at turning these. I can see it going quick, looked like a real nice scooter.

Got the full asking price this time $550! Been scouring CL for the next deal... maybe that pink Venus that 2tdave and I were eyeballing months ago lol. At least I think it's the same one... tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/mcy/5050798359.html |
