So I just discovered that my GY6 150cc rear wheel significantly "rubs" against about 33% of the rear drum when I turn it. Obviously, this is bad both for fuel economy as well as the health of the drum itself and the brake shoes. Given that the drum is integral to the wheel on these scooters does this mean I need a new wheel? (I'm highly doubtful that anyone would be willing to machine the drum true and besides, it likely would cost more that a replacement). Thoughts/experience? Michael il tell you from my own experience. i had same problem like you, what i do is i remove the wheel and grind the pads with hard sand papper as i have some nasty build up of dirt also some rust and then with a fine one and after i have 0% friction problem solved, no need to buy a new wheel unless it's not round The Drum is Out of Round thats the whole problem. like a nasty warped Rotor |

If your guy is experienced with Four Stroke Cranks he Should need No Instruction.

pistonguy I checked more things and I believe the fuel is flowing better now. I was able to ride it without it cutting off. Also, while I know it won't cause my initial problem - would it have more air flow on a pod filter versus the foam filter? It would be very close. The difference could be as minimill as One Filter With Filter Oil and the other Filter Not. very little difference. |

You can also check local Pawn shops for Dial Indicators, bases etc. sometime you can find a killer deal's on very high end measurement equipment.

Make sure that the output shaft on your bike is not just ever so slightly tweaked as well. Matt Good advice. Other than using a straightedge and eyeballing, is there a better way to validate the output shaft is not tweaked? M Ya you could do the Dial Indicator Set-Up to check for Runout. |

My Sunny Hunter style Scoot came brand new with a nasty out of round rear drum, I had to back the brake off so much that the Rear Brake became next to useless. I discovered it right away with the Scoot on the stand.
I purchased another set of OE style Wheels, Color matched and they are only Slightly Better, still darn near a Worthless rear brake.
Ive been riding forever so It not a biggie to use almost all front brake.
I upgraded my Front brake line to Braided Stainless and it made a difference, One or Two Finger only for my front brakes.

The Fuel Filter Maybe (most likely is) Directional, It should have a Arrow on the Fuel Filter Pointing to Direction of Flow. The plastic color sometimes makes it hard to see the Arrow. Going from the Foam filter you had to the pod Wont make that much difference or to cause the problem you have. Good Luck I was wondering about the air filter. I do have the fuel filter on the right way. It is directional and I installed it with the arrow pointing in the direction of the flow of the fuel. Just a quick question about the air filters, would the pod perhaps need a slightly different jet to reach peak performance - all things working properly? The Slight Difference in Air Filters will Not Cause the problem you have. Also check the Fuel cap is Venting Correctly . just loosen the cap and try running it that way. |

I had a similar issue with my vinto it turned out I had a block fule filter in the gas tank also I would go to a smaller in line fule filter because the one you have the fule pump can't keep up with it so you might be getting more air then fule. Oh wow dude I see your from Middlefield, Im originally from Chardon. I gotta get back in town for the "Great Geauga County Fair" Ohio's oldest county fair. |
