50cc needs more uphill pull  By  Z0M8I3 (Read 2,339 times)

Already got one of those on the way, Thank you though ;D

I was more curious about the clutch springs and torque springs. I over read about rollers and sliders and the like and was curious about those things as well and which ones would be better, I'm not sure as far as the rpm ratings on them. Is higher better or lower?

Thanks again

Does having stronger torque and clutch springs affect your top end?

Hello hank Thanks for all the info!

Now I've got a problem with my scoot. I took it for a trip to town (roughly 20 minute round trip) and now the little bugger won't run when I give it gas but idles fine for awhile then dies as well

Not sure what the problem would be because it ran fine the whole trip. It was hours after that it started this. As of now there are no mods and I purchased new two weeks ago.



EDIT: After letting it sit for the past 2 hours or so it seems to be running fine..Any ideas on what might have caused it to act up and then work fine? I would hate to take it out and get stuck because it got temperamental again.

[replyingto=z0m8i3]Z0M8I3[/replyingto]Seafoam FTW!

You may get lower speeds due to less combustion properties, but it's the best gasoline treatment/all purpose cleaner/lubricant I know of.

I use it like WD-40, or as a cleaner too. It's how I got my rear tire off, by just putting some of it on the bolt, then the tire came right off when before it wouldn't come off no matter how hard I tried. (I was out of WD-40 and used it as a last resort - and it worked!)

OK, I don't have the seafoam yet but I've been out tinkering and I thought I would try to start the scoot. It was a little rough at first being a cold start even though it's 74 out.

Once running the same problem persists, idles fine but giving it throttle kills it. Any ideashatnwould have caused it to act like this after my ride yesterday? Everything was fine yesterday till after trying to start it an hour after returning home.

The little fuel filter isn't clogged and everything seems in place. I'm confused about what got this acting up. Should I go ahead and try rebuilding the carb right off the bat?

Thanks again and please have patience, I've not had experience working with carbs yet.

I checked the valves and they were not set to what I've read is the typical .003/.004 so I set the respectively and there was a light ticking. I reset them both to .003 and still ticking. I went down to .0025 and stopped there so far but still ticking. Should I keep going lower until there is no ticking? I'm afraid of ruining it and am at a loss.

It would be worth noting that they were WAY lower than .003 because I couldn't even fit the .003 feeler in there in the beginning. I forgot to check the original settings and got ahead of myself..lesson learned.
