New here, with a couple questions keeway

[loueber]

Hi everyone, new to the board.
i have a 2009
( i think) keeway fact 50 2 stroke. Red and white. ( cant find a picture on my computer, but i know i have one)
anyways, i got about 500 miles on it. ( sat for a long time before i bought it from the original owner.

This is my first scooter so im unfamiliar with most engine specs or repairs.

anyways, these are my 2 questions.


1- my throttle cable is having issues, and i want to purchase a new cable. But most sites do not have any specifics if a particular cable is for my scooter or not. too ambiguous. Can some one tell me what engine i have so i can try to trace it down? or at least tell me the length or something?

2- i know its 2 stroke, but the crank case DOES still have a separate motor oil, not to be confused with the 2 stroke oil that injects into the fuel right?
if this is true, where is the drain and refil for the crank case oil?


thanks everyone....

no 2 strokes do not have crankcase oil like a 4 stroke does. thats what the 2 stroke oil is for, to lubricate the engine...2 strokes just do it differently. If it does have a dipstick like a car on the crankcase then its a 4-stroke.

not sure about your cable but someone will post on that soon im sure.

I think that model should be the 1E40QMB / Jog / Minarelli type of 2T. There should be no dipstick or crankcase oil though if that's the case. More ID help...

the only oil in the case of a 2 stroke is about 110 cc in the trans/diff there wont be a dipstick but the filler and drain should be on the left side near the tire
that will use 10/30 gl or 85/140 gl

great! this is all good info... at least the oil issue is cleared up. Now i just need to deal with the throttle cable.
i ride it in the winter in Boston, and i dont want the cable snapping on me... its a cold walk home.

based on the above is it 2 stroke or 4? that info will help on the cable issue.

There's a couple of 2 stroke cables here:

They have a "Y" fitting. One side of the cable goes to the carb and one to the oil pump. Yours may be different. Got any pics of it?
