A month ago I picked up a scooter with blown bearings in the "trans".. Some may remember I could not find one of the bearings.. I ended up ordering it from a firm out of England (could not find it locally), and it finally showed up this week.. So after spending 4 hrs on it today, she is riding again.. With some issues..
First, will not go beyond about 20-25 ish.. Could this be due to the fact that my air box is not connected to the carb, I can't get the intake tube to slide over the throat of the carb for the life of me, and I tried everything !!
Second there seems to be a lot of resistance in the rear drive' could the bearings need to break in??? I drove it around 5 miles and I think it was getting better the more I drove it, but maybe it was all in my head.. I'm going to change out the oil and try again tomorrow.,
Glad I got it running again, I'm sure sorting out the odds and ends will be fine.
