For engine oil I use Rotella 15W-40. For gear oil I use Mobil 1 synthetic 75W-  . Both are pretty cheap at my local Walmart.   |

Almost forgot, I also changed the vacuum and fuel lines. The factory lines become brittle very quickly which will lead to vacuum leak and other problems.

As for websites it depends what you are looking for, scrappydogscooters.com, partsforscooters.com, eBay, and Amazon all have parts. 157QMJ is the engine model. This is a good one for hard to find OEM parts. www.powersportsmax.com/index_parts.php/tID/3/vID/1006I am currently at about 1200 km on the odometer. And I have done oil changes at 100, 300, and 1000 kms. Gear oil is another one. First change was at 100, my next days off I'll be doing it again. As for mods, removing the emission devices, 12 gram rollers, after-market carb for jet and Air-fuel adjustment, rejet to 108, pod filter, 11-pole stator upgrade, and O2 sensor. The 11-pole stator was necessary for the amount of current the O2 sensor needed. Before the stator upgrade the 8 pole was not enough and my battery was not charging. |

I think he was referring to the blackening of the treads similar to my plug.  |

I agree with lain. The plug looks very good. It does look slightly on the rich side, but for air cooled engines we want to run richer instead of lean. With it running richer the engine is getting cooled, instead of running too hot from being lean. |

They also have very quick USPS shipping for their orders. I have ordered from them on multiple occasions and never had a problem. Their terminal crimping tools are a little overpriced. I found a very good one on Amazon for $20. It worked like a charm. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007YXBUO6 |

I think a complete new harness is pretty cheap also if you run into more problems.. The complete harnesses are pretty cheap. But these pins are always useful to have. They are a necessity for a stator upgrade, but also useful when doing electrical work. |
