Had a stock 150 do 72 downhill and 65-66 flat 65 is quite fast for a stock 150 , was your speedo acurate ? I believe itd may be possible with a well tuned cvt and a 100 lbs rider other then that I expect an inaccurate speedo . I ran into a guy with a wildfire 150 today , wow that scoot was small . It had 10 inch wheels and was on a 50cc frame . He said his went about 70mph and after I told him that mine with all the mods went that fast he mentioned his speedo Is probably off . " which I'm sure it was . That was what my gps said. Speedometer pegged past 80 Rollers looked stock when I changed the belt I weigh around 165-172 |

Its fine until you have to make a sudden movement movement or hit the brakes hard, or go past 45. Then it feels like the back is sliding or wobbly.

Look at the way the old one was installed and do it that way. Yes the 8 will work

I've tested this "theory" and that's not true. I've jumped 3 bikes off running cars multiple times on each one. Even revved the engine to get the starter cranking faster. Nothing blown or damage done and nothing down the road.. It helps low and high compression bikes start, and gives me a better sound analysis of why the engine is not combusting.I had a bike with a bad battery and broken kick starter, and bad engine that frequently had to get jumped by random people. Have you thought maybe your battery was dead because of a blown regulator from the first jump off the running car ? Battery was used and old when I got it. It worked worked awhile then died, not it just was dead when I went to start,, I cranked for like 2 or 3 times for like 30 secs each before it got too weak. This was about a year and a half ago when I got my first Sh!ty old and used scooter scooter and didn't know how to adjust/jet the carb and adjust the valves. Once I figured it out I had no problem with the battery because the bike started decently. |

I understand the logistics of it and agree with you, but I've done it over 10 times in cars as old as 1990. Maybe the regulator in those cars were bad and that's why people had a hard time. Due of the mechanics of the situation I would not say its safe to jump start a car with the engine running. However it has saved my in several occasions when the bike wouldn't start with brand new cables and clean contacts and the vehicle off . Turned it on and revved it and the scooter ran, got me home so I could see the disaster in my combustion chamber. Regulators go as cheap as 8 bucks these days, I always have a spare regulator,and regulator just in case. Only had a regulator go once and that was on this extremely old. It went slowly. old bike I had that had and abused and never maintained when I got it. |

Ok didnt know that I might need to hold the brake to start it. Battery is fine, and I havent tried kickstarting it yet. Ill try the brake idea. I am wondering if it is a faulty kill switch or ignition switch. I have no idea if it could be the starter as well. Would the blown fuse prevent the scooter from being kickstarted? When you turn the key check to see if the brake light is working when you pull the lever. If its not you may have a problem with the brake light switch . "Not un-common" After you establish that the brake light works and your kill switch is on try this.... Look for this on your bike--->  That's your "Starter relay" or "Starter solenoid" Normally located under seat, and attached to the frame in the rubber holder shown. Will have a black rubber like cover over it. You see the two screw looking things? Well on your bike they will have wires on them that was just a pic on the part its self.. Simply get something metal and connect the two. You can use a screw driver. Your starter should activate without the brake or key being in the bike, as long as the battery is hooked up your starter should move. If the starter moves, simply replace the starter relay to get the starter moving with the button again. If not you need to test or just replace your starter..... 20 dollar parts where talking about. Yes the bike will start with the kick start and no battery and a blown fuse.. One the the bike is running it should power everything from the stator, unless the bike is dc powered. Spark when you kick means its ready to start. the carb may be junked up. Try starter fluid and see how it acts. |

What DOES torch a bike is jumping it while the jump vehicle is running! Poof.....new regulator. I've tested this "theory" and that's not true. I've jumped 3 bikes off running cars multiple times on each one. Even revved the engine to get the starter cranking faster. Nothing blown or damage done and nothing down the road..

Haven't had to use my gps in awhile and did last night. It topped out 51mph . 47-50 average.
I know it can go faster just have to take the time to fine tine the carb.

Try rerouting the cable or just buy a longer one.

Try nrunning with the gas cap off and see if it still does it. And 75 main is too lean. try an 80 and adjust the carb and jeedle jet.

I tried 3 diff regulators, brand new wire harness. New stator. Everything
This all started instantly after riding in bad weather.

It won't charge just drains. Lights are just visible at high rpm

Install an 11 pole stator and 7pin regulator . Hard wire it all . John That wouldn't fix my problem would it? I put in a new stator&flywheel and regulator. New wire harness too, cleaned grounds. Seems as if somethings shorting out or something, but everything works as normal, just only at a very high rpm. I've taken parts of one by one to see if it was the problem and still nothing. |
