Very nice work, hopefully it will give you more comfort when riding as well!

A motorcyclist is crediting the motorcycle jacket he purchased just one hour before this accident with saving him from significant injury. More proof that ATGATT saves you!
Note- I'll move this to the safety subforum after people get a chance to see this here (more traffic in this subforum). BTW- ATGATT = All The Gear All The Time!

wow you plan to ride with a loose plug till winter you will surly be lucky if that happens if plug is as lose as you indicate. He said he just ordered a new head, and is going to do a BBK in the winter. |

Don't forget to check your fuel level! I ran out of gas today on the freeway, had to push my scooter 3/4 mile to the next exit, with temps in the 90s at 6:30am. Just love arriving at work soaked in sweat!

Here's a little tip for riding in extreme heat: put your helmet in the freezer for 20-30 minutes before going on your ride.
Not only will it keep your head cooler for short rides, freezing will help kill the bacteria that makes your helmet smelly!

Good job, jetting is a process of trial and error. Glad to hear you got yours running well, now enjoy that ride!

Glad to hear you got her adjusted. IIRC, I used an  main on that size BBK, so your  may be a bit rich. |

Now that's how you install an exhaust, with the scooter upside down, genius!

Nice, and according to most, those Adlys will run forever!

You probably have some pieces of the shredded belt stuck inside the clutch assembly. There is a groove on the shaft that pins run in, a piece of belt in there could cause symptoms like you describe.

Was rummaging thru the garage, found an old volt meter, needle type. I could do an arch with O2 readout markings, and bend the needle for a perpendicular mount, mounting wouldn't be too difficult provided there's enough space under there. It's an old method to get a horizontal readout using a needle type gauge. Lots of fuel gauges used to use this mounting style, as well as older hi-fi equipment (that's high-fidelity for you youngsters).

If it's stumbling off the start, it could be the needle or the accelerator pump (if you have one).
First, try taking some bend out of the accelerator pump lever, that will make it deliver less fuel when you first twist the throttle.
If you can't fix it adjusting the accelerator pump, then you may need to lower your needle (if it's adjustable). Adjustable needles have a clip and notches, you move the clip up/down a notch at a time to adjust it. To make it leaner, move the clip up a notch, which lowers the needle allowing less fuel out of the pilot jet until fully raised.

Just throw it on YouTube, simple and anyone can view easily. Tinypic requires flash, which most phones don't have.
I don't have much space on my dash, and my fairing layout makes handle bar mounting look less than clean, so I'm thinking about cannibalizing a cheap volt meter with a display I can hack out of its case and fit in my instrument panel. If I can find one with a bar display, I can mark it in mixture values using a second meter, and not have to decipher the voltages or bar length.

I'm definitely going to look into an O2 sensor. I have an EGR that has never been connected, the tube that connects it to the exhaust is too small for a bung, but I think it's still a good place to put the bung by cutting that tube off.
I tried the 105 main jet today, lost top speed, but otherwise ok. This tells me that at only 1 1/2 turns out, the pilot is a little rich, but should be ok. The 108 seems to be the right main. One good thing from all this jet testing, I have plenty of larger jets for if/when I go to a free-flow intake and/or exhaust system!
