Yes a very common issue which usually presents itself with symptoms of a lean condition while riding until they fail completely. It usually starts as a small crack in the plastic and then progresses to a total failure with or without a meltdown. Yours looks like it sustained some physical damage from debris being thrown about inside the flywheel. Any missing nuts/screws or excessive play in the crank shaft? That's the weird part. It can't be a result from running lean. With the warmer weather settling in, I have been running rich for the past few weeks since I upped my main jet and adjusted my needle. And no bolts were missing, and no debris was found in the inside. The crank shaft has no play, solid as a rock, and the housing nut was torqued down. |

So it has been a while since I posted. I have been lurking and reading, just found myself busy with home and garage projects. My big adventure right now is restoring a 1986 Honda Shadow.  Anyways, what made me take the time to post was a recent issue I had with my scooter. I found myself in the dreaded "no spark zone". I was going through and checking the electrical, and everything seemed fine. I just couldn't figure out the problem. I tried my spare electrical parts, and still no spark. Instead of giving up, I decided to go back to the basics. I went through the troubleshooting guides here, and on YouTube. After a couple days I found a stator guide from 90GTVert with revealed my problem. My exciter coil in my stator starting disintegrating. I don't know how or why, but a new one has already been ordered from NYCscooterparts tvnacman. I posted the video below in case someone else runs into a similar problem. I really liked the video because it was short, but very detailed and easy to follow along with.  |

gy6er, if you order it, let us know how it performs. I've been thinking about a BBK for my scoot too.

I agree with JerryScript, a 150cc sounds fine for your commute. I have a 150cc also, and it's perfect for city driving. The takeoff is very good if you keep the carb and CVT properly tuned. And speed will not be a concern. My ride to work has a top speed of 45MPH, so I constantly have to watch my speedo to make sure I'm not speeding. I don't want to be "that guy" that gets pulled for speeding on a scooter. So go with a 150cc, but look for a model with 14"-16" tires. That the one thing I wished I would have done. Mine are 12", and I hate the bumpy ride they provide. Anything higher then 50MPH, the stability gets sketchy. |

John, How old is the router? Sometimes they go out over time.
And have you aquired any new wireless toys over the Christmas season. The N-band can either be 2.4 or 5 GHz. Maybe yours or a neighbors new toy is causing interference.
The first step you can try to fix the problem is changing the frequency in the setup page. If it is currently set on a low channel move it to a higher, or vise-Versa. Some router even have an "auto select" option.

If the larger bolt stopped the leak, you should be fine. But keep a very close eye on it, and check for oil spots everyday for a while.

I agree, scrappy dogs, stock is the best. I did a lot of testing with upgrading carbs, and without A LOT of engine upgrades, the larger carb will be a waste.
The stock carbs from scrappy dogs are very good quality, and highly tunable. A/F screw, idle, needle, and jets are tunable. You will be very happy.

I see a video that is going to be added to the video library! Thanks Joey!  JR I don't know if it's worthy for the tech library. During filming, my buddy and I had a couple too many beers. I completely forgot to even mention a jet compensation chart I found. But we did have fun, which I guess counts for the most.  |

Thanks you guys. I figured cold weather adjustments was pretty much common knowledge here. But maybe others didn't know. It's a very good tip, and something I learned here from you guys.
