I watched a couple videos on splitting the crankcase. Man I sure ain't no rocket scientist and not much of a 2T mechanic, I'm not bad when it comes to a 4T, of course i've worked on 4T's for quite sometime. To me 2stroke is very hard to work on, in all the years of wrenching on scoots I've never had to split the engine,I think I might be up the creek without a paddle. It would be easier for me to buy a new engine. Man this is a brand new scoot. I just bought it April 5th this year.  That's one heck of a vacuum leak that wasn't there when it was new in April, To me it acts like a bad CDI. I'll take that back! JB WELD TO THE RESCUE!!!LOL!!!  |

53 outside this morning here in Indiana. Went out to start the ole girl up and she fired right up and the enricher worked this time. Yesterday checked my new plug an to my surprise it was a nice golden brown but still runs like heck and is using a ton of fuel. So a vacuum leak can cause all of this crazy stuff that's going on?? Getting about 38 miles to a tank of gas also. It had a 71 main jet in it and I put a Scrappy 75 main in, seems rich now. No way of knowing what size my jet is because Scrappy didn't mark it,not even on the bag it came in. What to do? |

Thanks for the help friends! All I need now is some hands on help and some cash so I can buy these extra tools I'll be needing. I'll probably have it done next spring. Wish me luck!  |

Guess not? Did you test your battery. Your local parts store can for free... You might try posting up some pics and we can help you figure this out on the air leak issue. Also have you had a look down the cylinder to check for issues there?

[replyingto=scootnwinn]scootnwinn[/replyingto]I've bought a new carb. and checked about 15 vacuum lines.When I had the intake off to reseal it I did notice what looked like some gasket material missing inside the intake,but I'm unsure. 2 scoots down it's hard to keep my mind on what I'm doing at times.Yes some pictures,can't figure out how to send them to this forum from my iphone yet. I've got to do something soon because winter comes soon here in Indiana.Also takes forever to order parts. Yes my battery isn't much good.

Well folks to be blunt about my new 2T, It runs like someone shot it with a .44 mag. It's ran like that since I took it out of the crate but has got much worse. Not much exaust pressure coming out of the pipe. Massive air leak somewhere.  P.S. Also using excessive amounts of gas. Should I just junk it for parts?? Or am I looking at something as simple as a fuel valve (petcock) ? |
