Brake fluid would not cause squeaking, does your scooter have disc brakes front and rear or drum in the rear? For the disk brakes can sometimes buy anti-squeal from auto parts store goes on the back of the pads, may help may not. If disk in rear same thing, if drum may have some brake dust in between the shoes and the drum. Shouldn't hurt anything but does get annoying, on my scooter if I quickly and lightly grab and let go sometimes will stop the squeal.

If thats the case just fire it up with the belt how it is worse case is the belt breaks but will tell you if the motor is good or not, then tear down to how you want to store it and store it till needed just remember to get a new belt before you instal onto another scooter

If all you are trying to do is run it for a couple minutes, and maybe test ride, can always try the oil that you would use to break in a baseball glove to soften the leather. However I do not know if that would then make the belt slippery and not want to catch when you went for a ride.

I haven't run out of gas but, shortly after buying my scooter new, had about 300 miles on it the float stuck open and flooded the carb, to the point gas was coming out the overflow tube and scoot wouldn't stay running. This was while driving down a main road luckily wasn't during rush hour.

I will admit I am a recovering addict from meth, been sober almost 13 years. Not trying to condone it but I was not that bad, I did not use all the time, I never pawned or stole anything to get my fix. I enjoyed the feeling I got while on it, but hated the fall when it was over usually 2-3 days later. So I would be awake for those 2-3 days. I knew others that were so bad into it they would go weeks without sleep, steal, pawn do whatever they could to get it. After that amount of time they would start to have hallucinations, be extremely aggressive, and in the next minute crying. Someone on meth can be very unpredictable, I hope you never see this guy again, but if you do call 911 immediately, try to get inside and just do what you can to be safe and keep your family safe.

I too use "alternate" jargon when working on things, specially when a small bolt or nut decides to fall from my fingers and get into the most inaccessible gap  , lol , I forgot to drain the oil from the scoot before removing the side cover 2day. What a mess. I was in a hurry and just forgot. I had royal purple everywhere. You should have seen the bonfire I made on my pourch , lol. I poured gas over the oil spot " after wiping the oil off" it was a pretty big spot. I lit the gas on fire and let it burn !! I did it a couple time to get rid of the oil. Fun times. use kitty litter, put on the oil spot rub in with your foot then sweep up, that's what my dad uses at his house and seems to work like a charm. Don't know how well if the oil had been sitting and started to really stain the concrete. |

And as for resetting the cpu I don't know if it would be as simple as leaving the battery disconnected for a certain amount of time.

In theory yes it should adjust itself when you put the bbk on, due to the O2 sensor telling the cpu what the afr is and adjusting accordingly. However I do not have first hand experience with efi on scoots, may have to "reset" the cpu before first start with the bbk but again not saying from experience.

I personally would change the oil again now, you said did go for a 10 mile ride, and then I would change again after 50 ~ 100 miles.

I did the diesel engine flush on a junkyard 4 cylinder once, only I did with 100% diesel no oil, poured about a gallon into the motor, then would turn it over with the coil disconnected. Once oil came up to the head, drained the diesel filled with oil ran 100 miles changed oil, ran another 500 miles changed oil again and then just normal oil changes, had no problems for almost a year until I over revved and blew the timing chain apart. But as for on a scooter I would be worried the diesel would eat the paper gaskets and then cause oil leaks.

with what your doing reminds me of what a buddy of mine did in the late 80's early  's, we took a honda spree 125 and a honda elite 250, cut the frame at the back of the foot rest on both scoots, welded the front of the 125, to the rear of the 250, damn thing would do 80 up a steep hill with two people on it lol. Worked great untill another buddy of ours had it going almost 100 up a hill and at the top of the hill he got air and the frame bent where it had been welded at. Man I miss those day putting big motors on little things, 400 polaris motor on a gocart, 125cc cement cutter onto a mini mountain bike, 351 windsor into a 4cyl hatchback mustang. Man we did some stupid stuff growing up  |

Should be the same no matter where the piston is, if there is any slack it probably means the chain has stretched or tensioner is bad

Yea the crank case is basically open, however with the added compression leaking into the crank case it will cause it to pressurize, which will cause the oil to foam up and then be pushed out the breather tube on the valve cover due to too much pressure in the engine case. Would be similar to the cooling system on your car when cold there is no pressure but after it has run and starts to heat up it pressurizes the system which allows the over flow to go into the reservoir with out the reservoir to catch it would just blow out the vent tube or blow out a hose if no vent was available. I know it is not an exact match between how the two would work but closest I can think of to compare to. Yeah if the compression is high, he def needs to get that checked. Not necessarily high compression, just compression getting into somewhere there should not be, and not designed for. |

Only if oil was getting into the combustion chamber, but if the blow by is back into the motor there would be no smoking, it would in turn just be letting the compression leak past the rings and basically prime the crank case, which in turn would cause it to spit oil. Have seen this happen on a car motor don't know if that could happen on one of the scooter motors, but heck anything is possible. TBA , I would not see much harm since there is already oil flying around in the crank case . I'm sure the crank case oil is reaching the lower cylinder wall anyway . isn't the crank case pretty much open around the inner crank ?
