Ok. This sucks because my computer the bed and I have to type this with my iPhone 5. Anyway, scoot has 2k miles now, bought it with 1800 after reading scootdawg and other info sources about Chinese bikes. It seems decent and is cheaply made, but I am a car mechanic with a welder so as the southerners say, "I ain't skerrd."
I changed all the fluids to synthetic, and added dumdum and felt tape to body panels to quiet noise. Adjusted valves according to scootdawg instructions- took three tries to get her sweet. You definitely can tell tapping from normal noise...
Got drunk, attempted to rebuild carb. Did fine until I got a thumbtack stuck in the main jet (don't ask). Went to a bike shop the next day and got a 114, old main was a 108. Did not change the pilot.
Despite better wisdom, I gutted and reqeld end the stock muffler, which is now horribly annoying. It sounds like a ghetto Harley. It's ok, I have another muff and will put it back.
The bike misses under load, even after adjusting the carb to the method described on here. It is 3 3-4 turns out and I am afraid to richer anymore. Any suggestions?
