Hello!

[Timberhill]

Hello everyone!
I'm 29-year old guy from Finland and three weeks ago I bought my first scooter ever, Jonway Warrior 50cc. Well actually I'm not quite sure if the model name is Warrior but when i google "Jonway Warrior", I find similar scoots. 

I have driven scooter twice before over 10 years ago, so there's my all experience with scooters.  
As a kid, I used to drive Suzuki PV '93 and actually I still have it on my garage. It just doesn't run at the moment.
I planned to restore it to original at winter when i have vacation. I might do a build log from it.

When the spring came to Finland, the two-wheeler fever hit me too hard and I just had to get something to drive with.
As I don't have licence to drive motorcycles, I started looking for scooters and old mopeds but couldn't quite find anything with good price.
Then there came young 17-year old boy to my workplace for summer job. My boss placed him to work with me.
Well we get to know each other and we started to speak about scooters for some reason. I told him that I'm looking for some cheap scooter to work with. When the day was over I brought him home and he said that he has scooter on his garage, wanna check it out? Well why not?

Visually it looked pretty good. It had ~3500km (~2200 miles) on the odometer. Then he started to list faults :

- It didn't have indicators
- It doesn't run well (max speed ~18mph)
- Lights doesn't work
- Kickstarter doesn't work well
- Rear brake doesn't work at all
- Tires were leaking air
- Upper bushing from rear shock absorber was broken
- Battery was dead
- Throttle cable was worn out badly
- Aftermarket air filter

Then we get to discuss about the price. After 15 minutes I agreed to buy it with 100€ (113$). I also got 1 liter Husqvarna 2-stroke oil (worth of 20€ or 22,6$), unrestricted CDI-box, spare intake manifold and original airbox.

So I got home with my first ever scooter. I stripped it down completely without even trying to run it.
Rear brake started to work with just cleaning and adjusting, lights started to work when i connected wires to places where they belong. Kickstart started to work when I just assembled it correctly. Next i ordered some parts :

- 75 main jet 3,49€ (4,45$)
- Fuel hose 1,99€ (2,25$)
- Fuel filter 2,00€ (2,26$)
- Battery 12V/4Ah 14,99€ (16,94$)
- 2x inner tire 120/130-12" 16,00€ (18,08$)
- Throttle wire 9,40€ (10,62$)
- NGK BR7HS 3,90€ (4,41$)
- Indicators 5,06€ (5,72$)

Total of 56,73€ (64,10$). So with scooter the grand total is 156,73€ (177,01$). 

Parts came (except indicators) and i started with disassembling and cleaning the carburetor. Also installed new 75 main jet.
Then I assembled the carburetor and installed it to intake manifold, put new fuel hoses, filter, stock airbox and spark plug.
It was time to fire it up.. Just a couple kicks and it started! Next i installed rest of the parts I ordered and the scoot was ready to go for a ride. Everything worked nicely. Just needed some work on adjusting the carb. According to scoots own speedometer it goes ~60km/h (37mp/h) on flat and 80km/h (49mp/h) to pretty steep downhill. I tried to measure speed with my smartphone but it just shows max speed of ~21km/h (13mp/h) no matter what app I use   

When i drove to uphill, speed dropped a lot. I realized need more power for uphills.
I don't need or want more top speed, but acceleration and torque. Aftermarket pipes are pretty much out of question because here where I live they draw way too much attention from police. So would 70cc bbk with ~90 main jet be the best choice?
Previous owner has removed spacer/restrictor from variator so the current setup is :

- Stock cylinder
- Stock carburetor with 75 main jet
- Stock exhaust
- Stock air filter
- Stock variator with spacer removed
- Stock clutch
- Unrestricted CDI-box

If someone can point me to right direction i'd be glad!

Suzuki in the picture is not actually mine, but pretty much same looking.

How much is a beer in Finland?it sounds like you need to upgrade your engine a little,a cast iron 70cc kit and a stealth exhaust is what your looking for,naraku cyl =NK100.31 and a technigas silent pro exhaust will get you up the hills without the screaming sound of a "sports" exhaust,there's no real need to quote prices it,s a global site and we all know what it cost,s where we live.welcome to the forum and keep on asking

Beer costs about 5 to 10 euros in restaurants.
I have bought bulk lager from Germany for 5 years now, it's quite a lot cheaper there.
Thanks for the advice! Would there be any sense spending more money for malossi 70cc cylinder kit with head included? I have some kind of obsession for malossi parts
Technigas pipe looks pretty good for me, sounds pretty much stock.

By the way, what's your opinion about these? :

Update :
I got a bit carried away after i took few beers. 

I ended up ordering :

- Malossi 70cc cylinder kit
- Technigas Silent Pro pipe
- Dell'Orto  19mm PHBG DS Racing
- "Racing" ignition coil
- Jet kit 75-98
- Oversize cooling fan for stator side
- Malossi exhaust stud bolts

Total of 321€.

Let's see where I rank after i receive the parts and get to break-in the cylinder kit.

Well the dice are thrown now,take your time fit one part and test and take notes,we have a list of combo,s thrown together that never work and are impossible to solve,it,s probably best to fit the exhaust to your scoot first it,s a task to then add other parts one by one but it gets the best result.up jet your o.e.carb to suit the 70 kit then try that 19mm,you will need a temp gauge and best to go premix before you cook the cyl,if £££ not a concern a polini variator and a set of clutch springs will be on your list.just my opinion but "racing" and "orange" are words used as click bait for newbies.

Welcome to the forum.
You will like the Malossi sport. It's a great kit.
Some of the racing carbs don't have a nipple to connect the oil pipe to.

Welcome to the forum.
Malossi sport Kit is very fun and reliable .
The tecnigas sport will give you good takeoff .
Geoff gives good advice go slow with one change at a time .

[Timberhill]

Actually I am already running on premix, just forgot to mention about it. So the possibly lack of oil line on carb doesn't matter, right? They didn't have all the parts in stock, some of them had 15 workdays to dispatch. It'll be a looong time to wait. What kind of temp gauge you mean?

For variator I have been looking for these two models :

• Polini Hi-Speed Evolution
• Malossi Multivar 2000

I think my scooter has 112mm clutch (I'll check this later, but I'm pretty sure) and i were just thinking that could i replace it with 107mm clutch? I mean is there some kind of physical limitations? This question came in my mind because i couldn't find any torque drives for 112mm clutch, all of them were for 105mm or 107mm clutches. Also 107mm size has more wider selection of clutches, bells etc.

[aeroxbud]

The Malossi variator is better than the Hi speed Polini one.
I'm sure people have changed clutch sizes before. But that is usually between the 105, and 107mm clutches. You have to swap the clutch and bell as a matching set.

[geoffh]

It,s a good idea to start a build thread,we can follow your progress and help ,all in one place,temp gauges are expensive but worth it,your biggest problem will be naming your scoot .

Geoff

Guess I'll go with Multivar then.  
I'll try to start build log when my parts arrive. Shame that i didn't take any pictures from those few fixes what I performed after buying the scoot.
I won't be ordering cvt-parts in a month or two, so I have plenty of time to investigate that 112mm to 107mm swap.
But if 107mm parts fit, I have been looking for following parts to order :

• Stage6 Torque Control MK II clutch
  
• Stage6 R/T 433g clutch bell
  
• Malossi Torque Drive
  
• Stage6 Pro Reinforced 788x17x8.9/28°

Any thoughts about these? Is there something to take into account? Would you change some part? 

Naming a scoot? I haven't even thought about that, it's gonna be a nightmare. 
I've had (my wife had) some thoughts about painting the scoot with black/gold combo, gold being the main color.
Perhaps name could be somehow related to that?   Well, time will tell.

[geoffh]

For the time being I think you have enough to do,but when the time comes replace your belt with one the exact same size as O.E for your scoot,many sites list "will fit" belts that don't,t fit properly,there are many variants of this engine type.
