Capt. cvt and bogging are two different things . This is the order in which I would tackle your stated symptoms . I would replace the exhaust gasket and hardware , then check the valves and adjust if needed . Go for a ride see if the bogging goes away . I would wonder if the exhaust valve seat got damaged , compression test it . If you did not ride it with the exhaust leak the valve is most likely ok . If your compression is low I would pull the head and lap the valves . I have had a bogging problem come on all of a sudden , however it was not at the same time as an exhaust leak . My turned out to be from the carb . At that time I decided to replace my carb for a Keihin and Manifold all the vac and fuel lines . This way I know everything is was taken care of and complete . Provided that cleared up the bogging problem for you I would move onto the cvt . That too would get a complete overhaul , belt rollers fresh greasing with a full break down of the clutch and variator . John |

What is the hybrid stuff, John? if I'm not mistaken I think they can either be plugged in or ran off a rechargeable battery. yes battery or plug in . John |

I was going to fix it let it ride now . But that is the style hat I use . I keep it under the seat . If the temp drops in the spring I can always put it on .

I use snow boarding pants , a few upper layers , full face the hat that only exposes your eyes and tucks under your collar .
I have the gerbings jacket liner , gloves and insoles . If I could do it over I would have gotten the hybrid stuff not the straight 12v plug in .
In general dress for the temp of the day , then cover with wind breakers/rain gear . Keep your torso warm and yo can make it . Someone told me if your torso is cool or cold it slows the circulation to your arms and legs .
I have danced around the cold quite a bit . On the coldest days I have a one piece snow suite , a pair of sweat paints sweatshirt , heated jacket liner , heated gloves and insoles . I go outside start up the chinese 150 plug in only turn on the gloves let them get hot , then 1/4 power on the jacket liner . I have a 9 mile ride takes min 25 minutes without any congestion , 2 hwy's one bridge over the east river . I have done this 0 degrees . I use the chinese because I do not trust the vespa's charging system . Its a lot cheaper to repair the chinese then the vespa .

Here's a little demo you can do at home to get an idea of what is happening. Take two soda cans of differing dimensions, one larger in diameter than the other, but both the same length. Cut the top and bottom out of each can, and punch a hole just large enough for a coffee stirrer straw in the side. Put the straw in the hole you punched, and place the other end in a cup of water. Now put your mouth to one end of the can while holding a paper towel in front of the other end, and blow as hard as you can. See which makes the paper towel more wet, the larger can or the smaller one. Air flowing through a smaller orifice will create a larger vacuum over the same size straw (jet). It sounds counter-intuitive, until you think of it in reverse. Vacuum is pulling from all sides, and if there is more open space, the vacuum effect is spread over a greater area, making it's effect on a small point such as a jet opening less drastic. Condense that vacuum to a smaller area, and it's effect on a small area (the jet opening) is greater. There are other considerations to take, a carb is a balanced system, but hopefully this helps explain the vacuum issue a bit. very well said !!!!!!!!!!!!!! How are you doing Jerry ? John |

When I was testing jets on my 150cc, I just kept putting in bigger jets and trying them out at top speed. At 115, I felt the throttle had the most power, and I could easily hit 60 on the Chinometer with no trouble. When I went up one more step to a 120, it took longer to get to 60mph. I believe that means I should use the 115 for maximum power. What kind of air filter and exhaust system ? John |

this is what I had in mind . use the white to trigger the relay work the auto enrchener and running lights . This way you have all power from the battery for start up . Being the white wire only puts out 12vdc when the engine is running . youe that to control the relay . If you wanted to use a switch to keep the relay out after you start up or before you shut down for a little extra for the battery . How many watts is your HID ? John

John, I just used a wire tap to get 12v off of the black wire to operate my relay for the HID's...then I wired in the light switch to control the HID's. And also disconnected the existing wire plug that went into the dash light switch....(with white, black, dark green and blue wires) so this got me thinking...when I originally wired in the HID (about a year ago) and used the light switch to just switch on the HID I probably had to short a couple of wires out to get the running lights to operate. So at this point I believe I shorted out a couple of the wires in the light switch plug to get the running lights to come on with the ignition...and perhaps that wonderful piece of work I did came out and therefore...no running lights. I would agree , you seem to be on your toes with the wiring . I think we together could make some changes to you wiring and replace your regulator to a more standard and common regulator . John |
