Thanks Millsc, that is kinda true... I originally thought that 63cc was enough because it's just a little more than stock, but now I'm struggling with 40mph and figuring out roads I can take where I won't get squashed. a good and big bbk would finally mean the end to cars passing and honking at me...
Will running the stock carb restrict the power of the scoot? And if it restricts power does that mean it will last longer? Are there ways to extend the life of it all or keep it just under its pinnacle power to lessen the stress on the parts?
I think I have just enough technical know-how to install a bbk, but fixing anything that goes wrong afterwards is another story...
That sounds great compared to the stories I've read posted by miscelanious users on other forums saying they only got theirs to last 2k miles before something snapped. How much more life do you expect out of the scoot?

There is a ton of variables, all of which could be your culprit. Is this 63cc kit new? What other mods have you done besides the engine internals and air filter? What is the carb main jet jetted to? It could also be your clutch not disengaging properly, I have seen that before. An abrupt stop will cause the clutch to apply a sort of engine brake and cause it to stall. The engine is a "secret 60" which is most likely a 63cc, I only mentioned that because it may be significant. The carb main jet is  . No real "modifications" per say, just replaced the spark plug, did an oil change, did a gear oil change, etc. What should I check for appertaining to the clutch? The engine will stall whether or not brakes are applied, but I am not sure. Thank you for your response. |

I'm sure this question has been answered before, but I'm making this post anyway.  Lately I've gotten my scooter running great. Even though I've gained weight and now weigh 260lbs I can easily accelerate all the way up to 40mph. I've adjusted my idle and a/f for a nice responsive throttle and achieved the highest idle without my tire moving, and I adjusted my valves not too long ago. Now the only problem I have is that my scooter occasionally dies at idle, but only when going back into idle from accelerating a bit. It starts right back up, but what on earth could be causing this? I'll check on everything I must, as per your wise sage-like advice, but is it possible that this filter is the culprit? www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007Q46KG6/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Thanks in advance. |

I had been desperately searching for an affordable scooter for years until I came across my sweet Chinese Peace Sports 50. When I got the bike there were a number of things wrong with it, from a bad battery all the way to backwards mirrors, but with a lot of work and tlc no one is passing me on the road anymore as they were on my honda zook. The original asking price for my chinese scooter was $900, but I was able to trade a laptop and nabi2 tablet for it, it's still worth every penny. But as others have said; you must be willing to get your hands dirty. A proper PDI will bring multiple issues to your attention right off the bat and that's a given. Many things need to be replaced, from the fuse to the gas line, and the initial repair may never end; luckily the parts are cheap. I love Chinese scooters because they're the only kind of scooter within my price range. I had to trade up through craigslist to attain my beautiful busted up Chinese scooter, and essentially worked hard to earn it. In order to maintain the scooter properly you're going to have to cherish it as much as the typical minimum wage Chinese worker would when he or she scrounges and saves up for one. I later found out that I had what is known as a "Secret 60", a 63cc engine disguised as a 49cc, and that's a plus you can only find in the bizarre quality of Chinese scooters. Now if you want a total flaming of Chinese scooters you should go here: slowkidsscootergang.wordpress.com/2011/08/22/why-not-a-chinese-scooter-theyre-cheaper-well-this-is-why/ |
