Myself, I use three strong ropes and suspend it roughly 2 feet in the air. One rope on each handlebar grip and one on the rear frame if you take the seat pan out.
That is how I tore 2 150cc's and a 50cc down to the frame for parts/scrap.

I just figured the RPM gauge was a typical china quality one and wasn't going to bother replacing it. It shows 1K RPM at idle, but only goes up to 2K at 65MPH and I know that can't be right, if you give it a good wack it jumps up to around 5-7K briefly.
I cleaned the rollers pretty well, will order 13g ones, I always get confused when looking for what weight to put in one.
For the electric choke, the one listed is the correct one, but I'm just going to buy a replacement carb that comes with it. as the choke costs more then half of a new carb.
I would like to check the valves as was mentioned earlier, do you have to remove the engine to do so?

Well, I figured it out, the scoot can easily spin out on gravel now and the top speed went from 65 to 70. Now times to wait for the windshield to show up and put all the bodywork back on.
One of the rollers in the variator was jammed sideways, causing the variator to become stuck. The RPM gauge doesn't work, but I thought the engine wasn't revving up like it should.
As for the champion spark plug, I just bought the cheapest they had to get it running and ordered a NGK Iridium the same day.
Does anyone know where I could get the electronic choke for the top of the carb? The one on there looks like the wires are melted a bit and it is hard to start in the mornings.

Thanks for the help guys, I just took it for another ride and after cleaning the carb it no longer wants to die once it get warmed up, but the power only unproved slightly. I doubt a mouse could get in the muffler as the output pipe on the end is only 1/2". I really want to drill it out like I did on my 150cc, it sure helped that one out.
It takes roughly 40 seconds to go from 0 to 45-50 and then another 30 seconds to get up to 65. My 150cc only take 20 or so seconds to get up to 55.
So far after buying a new windshield for $45, battery for $25, I only have $170 into it.
I'm curious how much this scoot is actually worth, I've seen this same model listed on craigslist for around $1800 with many more miles and broken body parts.

Yesterday I bought a 2007 Roketa 250cc water cooler scooter, because it was one of those deals that was so cheap it was either a scam or a steal. The owner broke the spark plug off below the nut, I struggled 3 hours, but got it out and replaced it with a champion (NGK Iridium one on the way), Then put the missing fuel line on and put fuel in it. Started and runs good, but is very lacking on power, for a 250cc, I expected a lot more. To compare, it has about half the power if my air cooled 150cc GY6 scooter. It also like to die at stop signs and is hard to restart after wards.
The scooter has sat in a shed for a year, only has 950 miles and because of the missing fuel line, was empty on fuel while sitting.
I think the carb is dirty and needs replaced, but not sure.
