I could see all that dirt holding allot of heat, good move getting rid of it!
Some people (not you) dont realize dirt is like a big thick blanket to a small
A/C engine, or any engine for that matter. Cant dissopate with a layer of dirt and
grime.

there was a blanket in there. It was all fluff on this side of the engine. I just wish I didn't have to have a soft seize to realize it

my scoot was running like crap yesterday. The revs were so high and weren't coming down at the stopl;ight. Today I took off the fuel filter, gas spilled out of it, when I pulled the hose off. I don't know if that means it was clogged, but I shook it, then blew the last bit of gas out of it. Then blew through it as hard as I could. Then blew through it the other way. There was a nice stream of air coming out so I assume it's okay. Put it back on, started it up and the revs came down. I think the blanket of dirt and a clogged filter caused the initial problem.  I still don't know what the clunk was though. I went out for a ride but it's raining so I couldn't try to get top speed run. I didn't feel the hesitation and pulling that I felt yesterday though. |

This morning I went out to ride to work and I started the scoot. It didn't sound like it was going to hold idle. I opened up the throttle and it died. This sound similiar to duosports fuel system failure,
49ccscoot.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=2help&action=display&thread=781
Except my carb isn't leaking gas.
But now with the scoot not starting I don't know what is up!
Clogged fuelline, bad vacuum petcock, dirt from running without a filter.... I opened up the intake system again. The bowl and float looked good but I blew them iout anyway just to sure, reassembled the carb. I took off the reed block and sure enough they were stuck open from riding without a filter. :Lots of little grains! Oops! :stars: Thought for sure I had it solved so I reassembled and tried to start it. Again it did the same. Would only run wide open. I opened up the drain on the carb and as it was open I tried to start the scoot. Started right up and started screaming. So as long as I trail some gas behind me I can ride. I don't want to be the Korean BP so I opened it up again and checked the bowl. I don't see anything wrong, everything is solid, but there is no way to adjust it. I wonder if there is something I lost with that float pin. It just seats into a part of the carb body. Should there be a "part" that it seats into. Like a removable part or something. I got nothing. Is there any other part of the carb that could cause the bowl to flood :banghead: This was an overnight happening. I rode it one day, the next morning it won't start. |

Power dropping as the engine warms up can indicate a rich condition. One other thing that happens as CVT scooters get hot is that the contra and clutch springs will seem a little looser and performance can change.
Try putting your hand over the carb's inlet to choke it and see if it will start and check the spark plug and see if it looks flooded.

Hmm, this sounds alot like my problem with my Triton. I finally got it to start up the other day by changing the ignition coil. It sounded like it was running great, until I took it out for a ride. As soon as I pulled out of the driveway, it bogged down and died like it's been doing.

I went for a ride yesterday in the oppressive heat and my scoot was running like crap as well; take off was like it was in high gear, throttle response was lagging until 30mph. As long as I held the throttle wide open after 30 it was fine, running up to 40-42. I'm going to check the fuel filter and the variator; I think I'll go back to the original three(thingies) that go onto the variator as they may be binding. Sorry, don't know what the damn things are called.

Bushings, guides, sliders (not to be confused with sliding weights)? really, you mean the triangle shaped thingies right? It can be confusing with all those names for the same little thing :lol:

It can be confusing with all those names for the same little thing  HEHEHE You should come here and try remembering the name of all those little thingies and then pronounce them so that a korean can understand. The best thing is they don't make new names for them. They just translate to Hangeul, them pronounce them as they are spelled. So Ga-Seu-kae-teu is a gasket, Seu-la-i-da is a slider. :thumb: My favorite Boe-Eu-peu Kit, is a bore up kit or a BBK. :doh: |

Oh man, it's hard enough to learn this stuff with all the english names for the same parts.  |

I think "guides" would be recognised by most. So now that that is settled, ...How did that work out for you? :rofl:
