I agree with scooter, your problem sounds like a fuel problem. If possible you should try running a gravity feed fuel line from the tank to carburetor. That way the reliance on vacuum pressure and petcock are eliminated. If your fuel tank is mounted on the floor, you'll have to replace the petcock and vacuum lines. |

I'm looking for another exhaust also. But I'm finding it very difficult to find a "performance" exhaust that's not fully chromed, rainbow colored, or both.
Why do they all have to be so flashy?

That's awesome you removed all that crap. Your scooter would thank you if it could. Trying to reduce pollution is one thing. But restricting an engine with poorly designed and manufactured parts is another.

Valves set to .004-.005mm Try the 115 main jet. You're definitely getting there! I thought it was .004inch - .005inch. |

Not sure about yours, but I have that exact same scoot and my odometer is in kilometers not miles I had the same problem with the exhaust, it broke off of its brackets, and one of the bolts actually broke off inside the threads so that was a pain, but with how hard i ride it it's doing very well. Same problem here with the 2014 model. The only way I have been able to keep the stock exhuast on the road is a buddy with a welder. I see an after market exhuast in my near future. The stock air box is also become brittle on my ride. I think a black inconspicuous uni filter is the next item being installed. My desire for a stock appearance is slowing falling apart with the cheap Chinese parts currently installed. |

All joking aside, I was going to wait until you the electrical guru gave a review on the product. It's an interesting concept of vastly increasing the power output. But how much is too much?
Besides, while waiting for your review I can plan on which HID bulbs I want and where to put the numerous strips of neon lights. I already know where the stereo, subwoofer, and amp are going to be installed.

Maybe that was his plan from the beginning.....  ? |

scooterThat's why I'm hesitating on adding extra electrical equipment. The technical info for my wideband O2 kit I installed a couple weeks ago states a 3 amp-12v draw is necessary or the gauge will display an error. So far I have not had an issue with starting. But I have already decided to install an LED voltmeter to monitor the battery. I'm hoping it will fit in the factory instrument cluster.

I was thinking a rocker switch would be more useful than a vacuum switch. Then I could wire it to a circuit that's activated with the key to prevent it pump when the scoot is off.  But with installing an electric pump, I'll worry about drawing to much current from the battery. Next a voltmeter to monitor the battery.  |

scooter Thank you for the video. Very interesting results and great example of what is happening in the vacuum system. jerseyboy I was thinking the same thing. The reason I haven't switched to a gravity feed system yet is the task of remembering to turn on the fuel before every ride. But with an electric pump I could also install a toggle switch. But once you start down the road of gauges and switch, how far is too far?

Yeah, seems like an aweful lot of work that can easy be fixed with either earbuds or a Bluetooth helmet.
I would rather have a finely tuned machine than worry about appearances.

Have you tried connecting the batteries is a parallel circuit? That way both batteries would be working together and charging when the scooter is running.

I agree, testing all the connections that travel into the CDI will isolate the failure or conclude that the CDI is the failure point.
Or using a spare CDI could test for its failure.

Mega dittos from me also. This is a really good thread.
Any updated numbers?

My vote is that you should keep it. Now you can conduct tests to determine if it helps you go faster.
