If I was going to buy an air compressor and impact wrench, what would the recommended psi and everything I should buy? Or should I buy an electric one? Someone please guide me before purchasing one so I don't buy one that can't even take the clutch/variator bolts off..

the fuel gauge you will have to take out the sending unit and check if the arm with the float is stuck in the down position or the float does not exist anymore, or the arm is to tight in which case you just have to loosen it up by moving the push on washer out a little. Sorry to sound stupid but I couldn't figure out how to get to the arm inside the tank. :/ What does it look like? Thank you |

Well got all the gears in place via the pictures you posted, and added some grease and applied some WD40 and the kickstart is working like new again!
I will get to the clutch when I can afford the tools to take the two nuts off for the flywheel and clutch/clutch bell. :/
Still on my to-do list: adjust A/F screw with my idle screw, adjust my valves, Gas gauge and connecting the killswitch! Not in too much of a rush I'm still waiting on the throttle handle to come in the mail along with a new sparkplug. I still need to switch out the oil too because I doubt it was ever done... What else should I check before I get this thing running in the spring?
Also what is the average speed (top speed flat ground) for a 150cc chinese scooter? No BBK, performance exhaust, sliders, etc..

I posted a video if that does better justice than the pictures. dang I HATE pulling those two off but I'll get to it tomorrow! Thanks again everyone for your help and input! I also posted a video of my scooter running so if you see anything wrong or any input/opinions please let me know! I do not have a throttle handle yet because my old one broke when I took it apart.. Wire throttle cable stripped the plastic tube you loop the end of the cable through, and the clamp that holds the handle in place broke (one end you screw in, the other is a hook.. the hook part broke). Here is the new throttle handle I ordered: r.ebay.com/kKSbQ6 Then I can just put my old handle grip over it. |

The Enricher by DEFAULT is RETRACTED WHEN COLD. IN the Retracted position it feeds extra fuel for cold starts. Once the motor starts it then FEEDS voltage to the ENRICHER and melts the GEL inside and pushs the CYLINDER out to shut off the EXTRA fuel. It fully EXTENDS out to shut off the extra fuel within 3-5 minutes and it stays EXTENDED as long as the motor is running. Once you shut the motor off no more voltage is being sent to the enricher and it starts to RETRACT back as it COOLS OFF ready for the next cold start. Question: Right now is the IDLE SPEED SCREW backed out? Turn the IDLE SPEED SCREW counter clockwise and see if the IDLE goes down. Take a Video on the THROTTLE SIDE of the CARB and Video by the THROTTLE CABLE on the CARB when you just twist the throttle a little . Want to see how the Throttle Control wheel and cable are working. Alleyoop  ooohhh the enricher... I can see if it's working or not I can find out tomorrow. I never thought about it being that. And the idle screw is not touching the medal accelerate pad (it's turned counter clockwise). I will take all the plastics off and get a good video of the carb tomorrow! |

when you turn the key switch does the fuel gauge move at all ? I would open the cvt it sounds like its gunked up . I wonder if you got the needle back in correct ? John No it does not move at all. I do not know how to access the gauge inside the gas take I just spent an hour tearing plastics off and still can't find it.. and the CVT isn't gunked up I just had it opened 2 days ago. No rust either. and the needle inside the carb? like the jets? I can take it back apart again tomorrow and double check.. Thank you |

I got lost after this. Could you please explain on how to do this? High RPM: Check also the automatic enricher servo. If it's stuck in the 'on' position, and you have a vacuum leak in the manifold, it's plausible that such conditions could result in the high 'idle'. It's also 'possible' the vacuum actuated petcock is faulty allowing some fuel to enter the manifold via the vacuum hose. However this too would pretty much require an accompanying vacuum leak in the manifold to supply a viable air/fuel mixture to cause the high RPM condition, otherwise the fuel would most likely flood out the engine causing a stall. |

Thank you everyone for your input! Sorry I forgot to mention I already checked the throttle cable, infact my throttle handle is completely off and disconnected as you can see in the 3rd picture. Just to double check, I went next to the carb and pulled a little on the cable between the carb and the arm that pulls the cable, and there is the correct amount of slack with no tension. So it's not the cable unfortunately  I have recorded a video! Maybe my carb isn't properly connected back together? I installed new blue hoses to get rid of the stock hoses (well, most of them. Haven't done the gas hoses yet). Also as I said before, the kickstart doesnt want to work. I also made a video. I can open the crankcase and take pictures/videos, just some input before I unscrew all the bolts. By the way there is no rust on this scoooter, it was garage kept! AND PLEASE, if you need anymore pictures/videos of anything to help you help me, please let me know!! I will be more than happy to! -on a side note, I will check out the fuel and 3 switch later |

Hello! I use to use the old forms until they shut down! I use to own a 50cc and now I finally moved up to a 150cc .
Anyways Ive came for multiple things today.
1. My 150 scooter (Chinese GY6) was bought on Craigslist for $350. Cleaned the carb and started right up! Everything is bone stock from the spark plug, the hoses valves haven't been adjusted, etc. I'm not sure what maintenance the previous owners have done prior. I do know it sat for 3-4 months. Also the kickstart does NOT work at all.. It rotates, but sticks once it's been kicked and doesn't sound too good..
Anyways, It starts right up but the idle is very high (4k RPM) even after letting it run for 10 minutes. The idle screw is all the way out, and the A/F screw is screwed all the way in. Maybe too much air from somewhere (air leak?)? The wheel is rotating ofcourse. It could be the clutch? I don't notice the clutch sticking when I roll the scooter backwards and the RPMs dont lower when the wheel touches the ground.. I'm beat, so any ideas would greatly help!
2. Gas gauge doesn't work, says empty tank. What should I look for or how can I troubleshoot this?
3. There is a switch on the right-side over by the electric start that switches left to right, or right to left. Has 3 options... What is this switch for? Its not turn signal.. again, on the right-side.. I would ASSUME it's a killswitch, but it does nothing with the engine on. Maybe it is a killswitch but it is not grounded properly? But has 3 options instead of 2.. imageshack.us/a/img855/4047/txcw.jpg
Thank you for your help in advance!!
