imgur.com/a/qC2c8That link is to a scooter I'm dubbing Frank. Needed a new piston and a lack of spark issue sorted out. It's got a pile of miles on it and busted body plastics, so I'm going to strip it down and make some sort of radrod out of it.

I have seen people use the fog lamps from the auto parts store as headlights. They seem to mount pretty easy and you can use one or both.

The vast majority, maybe all of the plastics will be coming off, and I will be using some sort of KC style bolt-on lamp for the headlight. It looks like Frankenstein is an apt name for this scooter though, since once I started going through the wiring I've started finding some very sketchy repair work from previous owners. I've got a better spark after fixing a few bad splices, but I'm going to wait til I get a bit more time to work on it and be thorough before going much further. Also, though I've gotten spits and sputters of life and a good 30sec of running about an hour ago, I'm concerned I might still not have good compression as when I pulled the spark plug it's pretty clear that someone's cross-threaded it or overtorqued it before.  |
