2008 Roketa 257cc been covered outdoors 4 months. Outside of charging the battery should I do anything else before I hit the start switch? Taildrag let keep this Super Simple. Its just fine you have limited knowledge, Experience and Skills so lets Keep this Super Simple is the BEST Policy. Try Starting the Darn thing before Tearing Into Anything.Tearing into all this Take your carb apart stuff is Most Likely in Vein. Have a can of Ether ( Starting Fluid) or Carb Cleaner and Gun that stuff into the intake and make it Run First Before Creating a Problem you Don't Have. Most Likely you have to do Nothing but Start and run it a Few Minutes to get Fresher Fuel into the Float Bowl(Carb). Theres Nothing Wrong with you engine Oil that it has Degraded in any way shape or form, this is Gross in misinformation. On the other hand I am Anal on keeping Good Fresh Oil in Everything I own just so you know were Im coming from. One Easy step at a time, Try to start it first and then we go from there . Keep It Simple, If ya Don't have to Take the Carb off Don't.! |

Hey everyone! I have a 2002 Vino 50 2T which had a Malossi 70cc kit installed. Ran great with #70 main jet and stock exhaust although acceleration was almost the same as stock until 30-35mph, when the powerband hit and the scooter took off through ~44mph. I installed an MHR replica pipe and checked all nuts and bolts to ensure no air leaks. Acceleratoin got worse under ~30-35mph but when the powerband hits, the bike screams as it should and shoots up to 50. Tried a #75 jet and got even worse acceleration and couldn't get above 28mph. Got the best results with the stock #64 jet but acceleration is still slower than stock. Ideas? Too small a jet? Variator work needed? Thank you guys! The Pipe Raised the Power-band in the RPM Range even More. Thats not that big of a deal. Your CVT/Clutch is most likely Engaging and Shifting Into a Higher Ratio Way Too Soon. So then She Wont Get Out of her Own Way. If you had a Gear bike you would just keep it in a lower gear longer to compensate for this. 2-T pipes are a whole different animal the what is available for the GY-6 4-T's, They will Require Jetting. Of Both/all the Pilot Jet and Main Jet, Jet needle Position.. I saw No Mention of you changing Pilot "low speed" Jets? Bro you especially with this Pipe and 70cc kit you will have to Jet the Low end. The Main Jet Mainly Provided Fuel in the Top End/ Wide Open. Pay attention to your Tach, if not Get One, you'll be able to see What I call "Just off the Pipe" this would be the RPM just under Were the Engine Hits. "The Pipe" or "On the Pipe" means your you in the Meat of the Power-Band. Your gunna hav to get close on the Jetting so as you can tune the CVT. On the Two Smoker pull and read the Plug, Take a Picture on you Plug and post it, and What kind of 2-T oil do you use? |

lain When I installed it it wasn't protruding from the sides, since the dealer replaced it it sticks out. I ordered a new gasket and piston rings, they should arrive next week, I hope that fixes the problem.  Another very important area to check are the Crank Shaft Seals on Any Two Stroke. The 50cc is Really Sensitive to Air Leaks and her Crank Seals are a Major Overlooked Source of that. If there is even a question or they weren't replaced, Replace them. Any endless jetting/mixture issue's were almost always Crank Seals. Be very careful, there small, if your unsure have someone Competent install them for you. |

I broke broke the ring because I didn't knew about pins at that time and the rings were not aligned with pins, this made sure the rings broke when I forced them into the cylinder. I don't have the space at home to open up the engine but whilst looking at the underside I noticed the head gasket was sticking out for 2-3mm. Is this normal or could it contribute to the power loss I face daily? Yes, if you aren't replacing your gaskets when they get worn they could be blown out from pressure and causing vacuum leaks which also cause serious overheating and possibly soft-seizing of the engine. I replace mine every single time I open my engines up, no chancing it for me, but you may be able to get by and be fine with 2strokes as long as you don't scratch it or bend it and as long as you install it exactly as it was before, but it sounds like you reinstalled it and now it's protruding from the engine underneath? I was really hoping you would back off and let me help this guy as not to confuse and miss direct. Just gets plane silly, You replace Your Gaskets Every Time. No Chancing it for You? Huh? since when?. when I came on this board your posting threads of oil pumping outa base gaskets, stated you reuse them all the time and Advocated it to others, and Your doing it again to this guy, Do you even understand "Gasket Crush"? Then with your Vast experience had to be school that you torque the Cylinder Studs So many times they will No Longer Stretch and your Drawing up metal from the Top of the Block. Ya had to Get some good Taida Studs. Beginner stuff. Room #101 Cylinder head torque, again you actually admitted to Never Owning or Using a Torque Wrench but you have a Very Good "Feel" for Torque. Really? Vast experience again huh? Your Calibrated Elbow couldn't show me the difference between 22"lb and 32"lb's Then your throwing a new set of rings in (all new to you) and learn Ideally you Should make a few passes with a Good Cylinder Hone to break any glaze and Seat in the new rings. You stated Don't own one never used one, and don't own a drill. oh ok, then you actually admitted to using something by Hand, Seriously? Stated what a beautiful job it was but you have No Pictures of the job (thats a norm). How could you know if it was a good job since you Never have used one and did not have something to compare your work too. You can't, just plane silly Half a week or so for you to figure out what Metric Allen Head removes the Top Cap nut off your Fork tubes. you called them shocks. The big tear down was to remove the nut and wash out with Seafoam , are you familiar with the packing materials in the fork that the Strong Aromatic Petroleum Distillates contained in Seafoam may Not Agree with? Materials in there are Not the Same as in carb's that Seafoam is safe in. How bout your rear shock fiasco? Vast experience have 0 understanding of "Spring Rate" were completely puzzled by not being able to make it work. Now Your on here Stating a shop brings you in as expert consultation and your Critiquing other so called Technicians. You advertise you create custom sig's but Never have Any Pictures of Anything You do or of Your Scooter. Back to this 50cc two stroke. These 50cc two strokes are so sensitive to air Leaks if he puked or sucked a base gasket she Wont even run. A "Soft Seize" is a generality, is Nothing Specific and the Verbiage is Not used in the Industry. You have "0" experience with two smokers and Any type of Seizure in Any Engine for that matter. You couldn't tell one type of seizure from another.   |

Some gasket can hang out some but the inner and outer most of the time matches. We really need to look at those Ring Retaining pins, That you were able to Break Rings upon installation tells me the Pins, Ring Grooves and Piston may be Buggered up. Take and post allot of pictures, I can do allot more with pictures. Just for example this is a Two Stroke Cylinder upside down so that is were the Base Gasket goes.  |

Was rummaging thru the garage, found an old volt meter, needle type. I could do an arch with O2 readout markings, and bend the needle for a perpendicular mount, mounting wouldn't be too difficult provided there's enough space under there. It's an old method to get a horizontal readout using a needle type gauge. Lots of fuel gauges used to use this mounting style, as well as older hi-fi equipment (that's high-fidelity for you youngsters). Would that be Amplitude or Frequency Modulation?  on that there hi-fi |

Something else.
Those Ring Retaining Pins in the Piston are almost always on the Intake Side of the Piston.
The Big exhaust port is on the other side so never pined there.
There should be a Arrow on the Dome of the Piston pointing towards Exhaust, if you put it in backwards the rings open up in the exhaust port and you will break them every time. looks like your opened right up in a port.
You may have that piston in there backwards.

pistonguy i'm very sure it's a two stroke however this is in the service manual:   Also, my rings aren't flexible at all, I broke this pair while trying to reinsert the piston in the cylinder.  Note: my picture of the ring shows the Same Notch at its ends. Your Rings have The Same Ground In Notch to Go Around the Ring Retaining Pins. Check to make sure the Pins ar in the Piston, The Ring on the Left looks Like the End Notched for the Pin is In Bad shape/almost gone/unusable even if you got them in the bore. I'd really like to see the piston, I think you got a pin problem and those rings are hanging (opening up) a port. They Do Show a Expander Ring Under the Second Ring, That is Really Rare. Missing Will not cause you to be snagging rings upon installation |

I would like to know more on How you think or what did you find with Your Broken Rings. Do you still have the broken rings to post a picture? Most of the time its Hard to Break one outhouse rings unless it some old school Ductile Iron.   This is what I can do with My Rings. |

Duuuuudes, Its a TWO STROKE! It has only Two Rings that are Located by Pins in the Piston (ring locating pins). These Locating Pins Stop the Ring From Rotating and Opening Up the Gap in a Port i.e. Snag or Hang a Ring. It is Possible to Install the Ring Over the Pin and with Force the Cylinder Down, This Pushes the Locating Pin Into the Piston and the Ring Hangs on a Port and You go Over the Bars. Here is a KX250 Cylinder showing the Ports that you Don't want the Ring opening Up Into. I should also mention that these Devil Pins can come out for several reason's and you Snag a Ring. When and if they come out the Pin itself either jams itself between the piston and cylinder or goes put top the piston and beats around there for awhile. Its a pretty sight    |

Would have really liked to look at the Piston and Cylinder Bore.
Especially since you mention you broke the rings.
Was that the Top Rod Bearing or the Bottom End Crank Pin Bearing? this is important
With the Bering taking dump, pieces parts like to go up thru the transfer ports and make a mess.
That Piston and Bore Condition is the life boo of the Two Smoker.
Picture say a thousand words,

Look no one said tear into a engine just saying a 10-1 compression is not a finger test and believe it or not a compression test is a very easy way to see health of the motor now that said, I quit must be over some heads. Crawford, were on the same page. Im all about the test. I showed you my gauge, We just need to be carful throwing some general numbers out there. Don't quit, you got skills and knowledge |

Hers my issue, This guy may have 119 psi and people with Very limited Experience will have him convinced he has a Top End Problem, Then he tears into the engine, makes a problem Worse and the Top End Was Not the Problem to begin with, and they Never get the thong running again. I read it over and over each riding season.
