You can't repair the CVT / kickstart case. It is too weak to repair. I've had that problem a few times, tried JB weld but would break again anyways. Get a new case, I've found them on ebay for around $30 before. Yeah, i overlooked that it was the case itself, unlike mine where its a bushing at least. |

I figure I may have a chance because the leverage will push on the cover then hopefully push on the bad hole upwards and to the side where it isnt cracked...it cracked on the left side, and bottom only. The inner sleeve cracked a bit too so I filled the cracks and glued the sleeve in as well since the kick start lever part slides freely in the sleeve. Tonight will be the moment of truth....I may just have to accept my kickstart is kaput and save up for one of those sweet open covers No reason you can't repair it, that's the minimum work that needs being done on the project scoot (though i'm going to do a lot more). |

I want to get a scoot, 50cc is the limit here in Michigan for cheap riding. But I want something I can hmmmm tweak a bit with a bore kit to take it up to 45MPH or so. I see Bintelli uses a BN139QMB. Is this a plain generic engine that any normal kit will work on? I'm not sure what Lance uses. Bintelli and Lance are the only two models sold by my local decent dealer. www.grandrapidsscooter.us I'm not sure I want to order onlilne unless I can get support for it locally. Well, parts yes, entire bike no. Can you point me in the right direction? I've been reading a LOT, but only enough to get confused. I'm old, and have a lot of tools, but I don't know much about engines. - Joe Yep, Bintelli is basically running the standard motor. Lance on the other hand is a bit different animal, though how different i couldn't tell you. They're bikes are now re-branded Sym, i'm guessing the older style carburated ones while Sym brand is on the newer fuel injected stuff. As for Genuine, there's some nice bikes there, they're PGO made, and i'm not sure what the availability of parts is, but from what i understand, they do have a 2 stroke which will be faster than a 4T by a little bit out of the box. Speaking of 2T, check to see if your local Bintelli dealer is also carrying the Adly 2 strokes, as Bintelli is the importer of those. |

Received my rack from Taobao and it worked. So now for a top case. Did you figure out the problem? Could be a few problems. First is that you took it in for it's service. I really do not trust places to work on my vehicles. I got some good stories on that. Well I would say if the engine revs then second would be clutch. If it does not rev then I would suspect carburetor linkage or vacuum. Good luck. Cool, glad to hear that the rack worked out. You should post some pics (get your own thread though  ). While the problem persists, I came to the same conclusion. I actually started a thread in the repair area about it, figured it could use separating. |

Chuckles, "We need more info from that, what kind of squeak? Ok, sorry, had to do that, but in all seriousness, when does it occur, over bumps, anytime the engine runs, while moving, while revving, over a certain speed, from the front, or from the back? With how many moving parts there are, squeaks can come from almost anywhere, heck, even the springs are capable of squeaking, so we need some help narrowing it down to start."

Snickers, "Someone's trying to rip you off, and not doing a very good job of it." DDG's your scooter, "Ok, fairly generic sport style bike, not sure what the aftermarket, but there's a fair number of sources here in America, and if you can figure out how, you should be able to find a fair amount in China ifn that's closer."
"Now, lets get to work. For the most part an exhaust is an exhaust is an exhaust. If there were serious emissions laws here or there, then there might be something to that claim, but otherwise, its basically a pipe and a muffler, no reason why one from here won't work there, shipping is the only issue. Dunno what a fender eliminator is, so i can't answer anything on that, ditto for the backrest; outside of scooters like Joker clones that include one, i've never seen one on a scooter. On that body style you have, the flyscreen should be easy to get, at least over here."

It's a parking lite,,,European thing ,,,,some cars have it too,,,,only the driver side running lite and rear lite is on when you hit park,,,, Hmmm, i think i'll use it to power an angel ring or whatever those are called then. |

Looks like you may have an oil seal leaking. Check the seals behind the variator and clutch. Points, "Room mate thinks main seal on the engine output shaft which should be an easy change when i pull the variator. I figure i'll change it as a matter of course since this is a nearly 8 year old scoot. That said, i'm wondering if some or all of it is coming from that hose fitting i shot on top the engine since its neither capped nor hooked up." Ok, picture post time. Shouldn't these connect? No. The little gear will jump out onto the other gear, engage the other gear, when you crank the engine. Ah, Ok. There is some wear on the front... bushing? should i worry about that? |

Horace found your answer in the link he attached (post #6 above), and his explanation in post #7. Go to the linked thread......drop down to reply #3....take a good look at the second picture that Alleyoop added.....that is what your scoot has This has nothing to do with your gas tank or it's contents.....but is part of your crankcase ventilation system I did miss that one from Alleyoop, thanks. Interesting, i wonder why it exists? Function wise it reminds me of a Ford PCV system (PCV valve in the cap with a hose going back to a filter in the air cleaner and its own little filter), wonder why they needed something this complex, and why its not mounted to anything, but just hanging out in there. |

Ok, picture post time.  Boy its oily in here  Shouldn't these connect?  Is this where the oil's coming from, or is it from the main seal like my roomie thinks (can't hurt to change it on an 08 with an unknown maintenance history)?  Spotted this at the bottom front of the engine, one of two loose connectors in the engine compartment, but this one looks more important So, a little forward progress, mostly in diagnosing the size of the job in front of me. As mentioned, there's another loose connector, a small three pin connector fitted with only to pins. It doesn't look important, but i can grab a picture if anyone thinks it might be. There's no charcoal canister on this motor, though you can see the capped off fresh air intake for it. Engine looks to be in good shape, or at least as good as you'd expect for an area that gets an awful lot of rain, nothing that looks wrong, and the oil mess is limited to the left side. Kick starter will definitely need work, as well as that bushing piece, there's a large diameter washer between the spring and the kick starter gear that's just floating around, so clearly i need to do some work, or replace the whole kick starter. While we're in there we're definitely replacing the weights and the belt, but what about the glide keys, clutch and clutch spring? Anyone perhaps an ex-Fly dealer that might have a shop manual laying around, or know some of the specs? Also looking for key blanks if anyone has some. |

JR I suppose my confusion comes from this diagram  since there's no tank connection. ((Sorry was busy when i last looked at this thread and forgot to reply until now))

Oh look a double meaning subject  This has been covered on my bike specific thread over in General, but i figured i'd move it over here and streamline it in hopes of solving it. Problem 1: Bike has died on me twice. Basically it bogs down and dies at about quarter throttle. Interesting part is that i noticed that the back wheel isn't turning when that happens. First time it ran fine by the time the shop got to it, nothing was done since it couldn't be reproduced. Second time they cleaned out the transmission. So far that seems to have fixed it, or the bell i added is successfully repelling gremlins. Problem 2: This is more of a collection of similar issues, the most notable of all happening last night: - Hard to start, requires some throttle to start
- Hard to start initially, requires some throttle to start, stalls when the throttle is released, but starts and runs fine the second time
- Starts easy, runs fine, but if i stop after a short while, one of the previous two problems occurs on restart
- Poor initial acceleration, when i first roll out i've got little go or last night no go. Last night i cranked the throttle working my way up to WOT, and the bike continued to idle as if i hadn't touched the throttle for a good few seconds, then it slowly began to rev up.
Notable is that a few weeks back i had the 1K service done, and throttle cable is fine and properly adjusted. So, anyone got any ideas what could be wrong? Is there any one thing that would cause this problem (even if it points to a system, like a multiple issues with the carb), or is it more like multiple issues? |

His error will be your new ride Indeed, though him laying it down will make some extra work for me. Still, should come out even at worst, and likely ahead. The one issue i see is that this thing is oily, in the transmission and out, need to figure out how to clean that, and prolly should change the belt and the weights while i'm in there, the hills around here are not friendly to my scoot, i doubt this one'll be different. |

Ok, just got home from work, and figured lets crack open the trans and see what broke on the kickstarter... and this fell out: Gee, i think we dun did find the problem... Maybe somebody using the kick starter a little too much  Well, the guy i bought it from hit some gravel and dropped the scoot a while ago, breaking the electric start, so... |

Well, well, well, we might have a bit of a clue about the dying problem. For those coming in late, the Scooter of War has left me on the side of the road a couple times, dying when i tried to accelerate. So, last night i went to leave for work, turned the throttle, and... nothing. It was running, i'd idled it while i got geared up, then walked it down to the parking lot. Held the throttle open, and slowly it began to accelerate, essentially it was a delayed reaction to me twisting the throttle.
Hmmm, i'm guessing its related, but i got nothing, what could cause that? It just had its 1K service, so the throttle cable has been checked, so that's not it.
