Well I''m back --- Installed a new spark plug today (still don't know why this plug is different from the spec plug ,anyway it is installed .I also switch the gas and return lines as they were in backwards . Put gas in and tried to start but nothing ! I will check the plug for spark tomorrow .Carburetor seems OK from the outside .It is clean and there are no leaks in the gas lines or around the carb. I put a little oil through the plug hole and let it sit overnight without the plug in it pulls OK , but once I put the plug back it is a hard pull. I watch on You Tube and they all seem to pull real easy .There is compression .If no spark what do I check next? These don't have a magneto do they ? I don't see anything on the specs lay out. I cleans up the air filter and filter and lightly oiled it .the red switch is tight and works OK.I used the rubber button and it is OK also and has no cracks and is easy to push on ,not stiff. There is a screen missing from in the air filter area that I am going to replace tomorrow ,but that shouldn't have anything to do with not starting. I looks like a simple motor so what ever the problem is it should be easy to figure out except I haven't been able to that yet. Do you have any more ideas . I have your information on the carburetor and I will adjust it but I was going to wait until I got it started but if you think I should do it now ,that's Ok . Would you suggest that it start from scratch on it ,like a new carb as if I can't get it running I really can't do a tune up to it . Let me know OK ?? alleyoop started a post earlier but hadn't finished when I hit the wrong button so disregard it! alleyoop

Hey Guys I haven't been on for a while but now I need some advice . I recently got a Goped Sport 29cc on E Bay and here is what I found
According to the seller the scooter was in good shape .Had upgraded the exhaust,handle bars and installed a new carburetor .
On inspection I found No filter on gas line ,Starter rope housing had one piece broken off, the welded tube that the kick stand was connected to was damaged .some part on the exhaust is missing ,and there is a part of the filter screen behind the carb that is missing .The first problem I found was when I ordered some parts to fix up the motor I find that the new plug that came is too large for the plug hole and on contacting the dealer they don't have a answer as yet. One thing I noticed was that there is what seems to be a size reducer ring in the plug hole that fits the existing plug but is too small for the plug that is listed should be there. I have tried to start the motor but there is nothing and the pull seems harder then it should be.
The overall appearance of the scoot seems pretty good but I would doubt if it has been ridden in a long time .One clue was the gas tank was BONE dry which would indicate to me that it was not used for some time before it was sent to me .
I don't have any history that came with the machine so I am kind of in the dark and could use some advice.
This Goped is listed as using a Zenoah G430 RC or (G43LS ) motor 41.5 cc motor 29cc 2 cycle with compression of 7.5 and 2.5 HP .Walbro carburetor . I am using 30:1 ratio gas and oil according to the seller and spark plug is NGK CMR 7A 9specs call for a ( NKG BPM7A)
he plug end is black and carb seems to get gas OK .Bulb fills up and return is working OK Bought parts from Goped .com for first time as I figured they would be more familiar with this model.
Any one out there have got one of these Gopeds ? I could use some advice Thanks Crawdad 27

I have 2013 Q6 Trike and the only thing I have found wrong was the rear brake assembly was attached a little off causing the left turn to be a little short .I readjusted the brake handle assembly and fixed the problem . I checked the trike over carefully with the PDI and everything seemed to be done in a professional way .Welds were good ,no rust and nothing loose. The only negative thing is that it takes time to remove all the bolts holding the under seat container so it can be removed . I am very satisfied with the assembly .

Hey Leo -Looks like you did a good job! I have a question for you -My muffler is pretty loud on my 1P 39 QMB 50cc trike without going through a lot of work is there any muffler or any way I could cut down on the noise . The one on it now is factory equipped.

My 50cc trike has shown up with very excessive noise by the throttle arm .It rattles constantly when running unless I hold on to it.
I have adjusted for side play and that seems OK but the end play (back and forth )is constant. Any suggestions on a fix ,doesn't seem to be a problem but is irritating to have loud rattling when in idle .
