I've ridden a couple of 2 stroke scooters with the big bore kits and felt they didn't have any more punch than my 50cc 2 stroke.
What I'm trying to get is quick acceleration up to a true 45 mph and be able to get up hills without losing to much speed.
I thought maybe I can obtain this easier with a 150cc 4 stroke or do you think it can be done with the wright big bore kit on my 2 stroke?

Does a 70cc 2 stroke have as much power as a 150cc 4 stroke?

I have that same hole on both of my scooters and they don't have any oil coming out .
I think its a vent hole.
Try replacing the gasket.

I fill a gas can and premix in the can and then just top off the scoot before I ride.

CVT belt

Messed with the variator a little bit and found that the washer that mounts against the kicker gear is flat on one side and has a taper on the other side.
When mounted with the flat side to the kicker gear it lets the variator open wide enough for the wider belt.

Installed new belt today.
Funny thing about belts is new belt of same size markings is a little bit wider and hurt the performance of the scoot.
Turns out new belt
Put new belt on today and now it's running good.
Funny thing, new belt and stock belt are marked as the same size but new belt is a little wider.

I've gotten just over 1600 miles on my stock drive belt with the red (2000) torque spring and am showing slight signs of fraying and a little chunking on the sides.
On average, how many miles do you drive on a belt before changing it and what torque spring do you use ?

I should have gone to John in the first place, but once in a while you have to test the waters.
They internets prices are very tempting.
I guess I got what I payed for (Garbage).

I ran 4.5 gram rollers for the last four years and the scooter ran like a crazed scoot on steroids. I mean it really ran hard.
After needing a tune-up (flat spots on rollers) I thought I would try the slider weights.
I only had a choice of 4 or 5 gram. and it was recommended to get the 4's.
It ran good with the sliders but seemed to be lacking the punch I had with the rollers in and mite have lost a little top end.
Should I have the same weight sliders as I had with the rollers to get the punch back in the scoot or just go back to rollers?

The belt was marked TONGBU VS BELT 792 16.6

This belt was a Generic no name belt and was the only belt in my size.
16.6-792 was on original belt and 792-16.6-30 was on the new belt.
The original belt looked more beefy.

Put a brand new cvt belt on and drove about a mile or two and all the cogs stripped off the belt.
I think it was just a really cheap belt.
I put my old belt on and drove several miles and no problem.
The place I bought the belt from told me that their was something wrong with the cvt and not the belt.
I told them that I put the old belt and drove for several miles and it was fine.
They told me that's because my old belt was stretched out and that's why it's not breaking.
What do you think, your opinion is appreciated.Thanks

Better off staying pre-mix.
oil pumps can fail and pre-mix can't.

And YES, If your not going to do your own wrenching you should find another shop.
They don't seem to know scooters.
