No I do not need to know how to change a spark plug, I figured that out a long time ago.
There is a forum that I seem to be a big topic on, seems some think I have no qualification for being a moderator on a scooter forum. I got a message about the thread so I went and looked at it. I returned the message with this and thought perhaps it would be useful to let all you know as well.
The concern is that I do not know anything about scooters, that I do not seem to know anything about motors.
I do own and ride a 150cc Longbo scooter (bought used so I did not have a problem with registration, had to fix to get it running, yes it was a simple fix just needed a CDI and a new coil.
I did the PDI on my 50cc scooter.
I began riding a Honda when I was 15, that was 45 years ago.
Over the years I have had several Honda 90cc motorcycles, a 160 scrambler, a CB 350, a CB 450 that was a left out in the field with the spark plugs out for years bike that I had to pull the motor out of and replace the cylinders and pistons, just to get it to run.
I have taken apart several Honda
/110 motors to fix because when I bought them they did not run. Yes they ran great when I put them back together.
Also, have rebuilt Chevy 350 V8's, several, four cylinder motors from Japanese trucks (Datsun and Izusu), a 6.2 liter GM Diesel. rebuilt the 2.8 liter V6 on my kids Camero, replaced the clutch on I don't know how many vehicles, my first car was a 1960 Falcon and I put a head gasket in it, replaced water pumps, generators, starters.
Oh and my lawn tractor, I have had the Kohler motor apart to fix it.
I know my way around motors.
I can fix it if it rolls down the road.
Do I post a lot of advise on the forum, no, I let those that are better at telling others what to do deal with it.
Now I don't get on the forum and issue complaints about what other people say on other forums, I do not complain about other forums on any forum. I have a life.
So if you would like to cut and paste this and post it for them to read, you have my permission.
Thanks for being you.
BTW this is not a complaint about what the other forum has posted. I just know that people here are also members there and want to ease your mind that I am able to speak from the standpoint of a person that is able to do things.
Perhaps this will do a little to make the person over there feel a little better as well.
