I use it to remove the variator pretty often, including the first time. Never had any problems. When I put the variator on, I let it whack it three times, no problems coming loose or removing with two to three whacks later.

What year? Pre-08 it may have some restrictions, post-2010 it probably doesn't have anything restricted other than a non-adjustable carb (which you can remove the screws and caps to adjust anyway).

Good Job! Nothing better than riding on a motor you rebuilt yourself, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing it was done right. Enjoy the ride!

If I was replacing a 6-pole, I would definitely upgrade to an 8-pole. Don't worry about the full vs half wave, it won't make a difference on a scooter.

If you can get it on the posts, you're probably fine.

You should only need to turn the a/f screw when adjusting for temp changes, and not more than 1 1/2 turns.

You will need to put a manual petcock in place of the vacuum actuated one. Gravity will overcome the float bowl when not riding otherwise, and you'll come back to find your scooter sitting in a puddle of fuel. The most important thing is to remember to turn it on/off.

You know, the kind where you have an errand to run, and you open your garage and the warm sun hits you at the same moment a refreshing gentle breeze swirls around you. You hop on your scooter and head to the store for some item on your honey-do list. As you turn on to the main road and gun the engine, you notice the trees along the street starting to bloom. You pull into the Home Depot parking lot, and reluctantly get off your scooter to go inside. The entire time you are inside, the smell of the fresh spring air outside is still teasing your nose. As you stand in line, your hands are already zipping up your riding jacket, and as you walk outside your helmet is on before you realize it. You hop back on your scooter, pull up to the parking lot exit, and instead of turning towards home, you turn towards your favorite area to ride through town.
Every town has one of these areas, where the trees line the streets better than elsewhere, and today the blossoms are 0n full display. You know the road, the one that winds around and through neighborhoods, allowing you to lean into your turns with your visor fully up, the wind blowing in your face. You come to that one stretch of road where it is safe to open it up for a moment, and enjoy the thrill of rocketing to top speed, then settling back down for the next full lean curve.
Then it happens, you remember you are supposed to be out on an errand, and returning to finish a chore. You start to head home, slowly, enjoying every bit of the ride you can. You approach your neighborhood, the turn onto your street less than a block away. All of a sudden, that refreshing gentle breeze swirls around you again, whispering to you "Ride On!" You begin to squeeze the brake with your hand, but your fingers seem to slip off, and your wrist uncontrollably rolls back all of it's own accord, causing you to zoom right past your turn. You glance back in the mirror, then turn the throttle all the way, and enjoy the ride!

I would suggest a 118, close enough to the 115 to adjust the a/f for a good idle, and hopefully large enough to richen it up at WOT.
Your RPMs are ok for that speed, but I personally would try to bring them down to the 5.5-6.5k range when cruising.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. From what I'm reading, perhaps I'll start with replacing the battery cables, and see what that does. Even if it does not end up being the fix, it sounds like its probably not a bad idea in the long run, particularly if I do end up also replacing the batt, starter, and cdi. I may go ahead and get to work on that this afternoon. Will post back with results. Any recommendations on wire gauge? People will have differing opinions on gauge, but a cheap easy trick is to use the wires from some old jumper cables. |

I believe stock on most 50cc is a 78. Since yours was originally a secret 63, it may have had a larger stock jet.

I think it would be kind of cool if somebody would come up with an alarm gizmo that has self contained power so that trying to remove or disconnect the bike battery would not stop its operation. And part of it would have a smoke maker similar to one of those smoke makers like fire depts. use for training except on a much smaller scale. (mineral oil over a small heating element...just makes smoke... lots of it...no fire risk) Add some multi-color LEDs (bluewhite, orange, red & yellow) that kind of flicker from somewhere underneath that makes it look like maybe some wiring is burning. Wouldn't hurt if it made a gawdawful noise while doing that too. Betchya they'd haulass out of there. Noisy alarms, while irritating, are sometimes just ignored...... but something smoking like a 3 alarm is gonna get some serious attention in a big hurry. Thieves won't hang around for an attention getter like that. Of course like any alarm, it would automatically shut off & reset after a minute or 2. I'd buy an alarm system like that. I think it would be a quite effective deterrent. I remember growing up, being able to buy a firework that did that, I think it was called a WhizzBanger or something like that. Apparently they were banned for several years by the CPSC nazis. Google found me this that is pretty much the same thing for $1.45, just doesn't have the final BANG that the original had. I'm sure it could be hooked into any alarm system to be set off, it is a one time thing, but they are cheap! www.fakecrap.com/auto-fooler-p/1002.htm |

Start at the beginning, does the caliper itself have free play? Is the plunger the caliper compresses clean and moving freely with the bleeder valve open? If these parts work fine, then it is most likely a problem with the piston.
