A 50 can be fun so long as there's no hills involved.

OK, sorta got my order yesterday. If you call 60+ days and substitute item an order. At least they didn't just steal my $$ and walk 'now they get one star'. Unfortunately they list some things I cannot find elsewhere, I will try and forget about those things.

Is it possible to forward some supplies to the campsite by van? Then you could ride light.

floridagull Craigslist... Such a great idea ruined by the few, it's almost worthless now.

ghcoe When I had a manual I'd turn it to off as I approached home then let it idle till all gas was gone. That's how I was taught to keep your 2T carb clean. But now I ride daily, sometimes 2x, I think I could get by during the busy season.

horace Funny the guy's more worried about a go-pro than getting legal.

JoeyBee I suppose since I ride almost everyday leaving it on wouldn't be an issue. Then I could block that vacuum port!

There's Mordeth 13, if he's still vlogging, and CycleCrusa, who talks a lot while he's riding, and on of the guys on here that vlogs under the name of Captain Crunk. Those are the only ones I know by name. I've seen a few cyclecrusa vids. He keeps me watching for awhile, but the 'double r' gets tiring.

I've noticed this on my 250 also, I always just assumed my jetting was a little off so it ran better at 7/8th throttle rather than 100% open. sometimes on long hill pulls I'll back off a hair and get a push. Do you have a vacuum petcock or manual? Mine is a vacuum operated petcock. I've heard at WOT the petcock may experience vacuum starvation. I've been meaning to switch to a manual setup, but haven't found the time and I avoid working in my garage during the summer. Everything is bigger in Texas, even the temperature during the summer. Yes I do......That makes sense, I've felt that sometimes it starves for fuel. And like you I've heard the benefits of a manual P-C. just not done it . But that's one of the things I used to hate, get half way down the street, then remember to turn fuel on.

I got a bee in my fullface, pulled over and yanked it off before he got me. Seems like everytime I flip up the visor I get something in there. While I was on the curb fixing my issue a friendly cyclist rode by me so close I felt the wind, this after being constantly harped on about giving cyclists 3' girth, I was upset about the prickness displayed.

And this boys and girls explains why a good dealer is important, mine explained exactly what it was and how it works. I use it to secure my scooter of course, when i park for anything other than a couple minutes, i use this, turn off the kill switch, put on a disc brake lock, chain the bike down using the rear wheel, and put a cover over it. I believe in the power of cover! Less temptation to steal an unknown object.

I've waited two plus weeks for parts........ That's why you need a back up ride so you don't have to go thru this stuff. After reading this thread it seems to wait a few more days is the best answer, unless you're -bent on making this work. Then I wish you luck, that's how we learn things.

Parts are sold by engine model #, without that we have no idea what type of motor is in your scooter. Here's how to find out what you have.... Chinese bikes and ATV's can really be confusing, that is why scrappy dogs was started. There are two identifications to remember by using this site for help, not only to know what you have, but to get what you need. The first is the engine type. While this site uses a simplified directory at the left, you really need to know the engine number to get your parts right. This engine number is typically in two parts on the same stamp location. Most of the time the numbers are stamped on the left side of the engine, under the belt cover, near the front close to the engine mount to the frame. The bottom number is the reg. number, the top number is the one to pay attention to, this is the engine identification number. It tells you what you have. Below is a picture of a number plate for a 50cc 4stroke, also known as a 139QMB. The engine number is very significant, and reveals alot. Take for example a popular engine, like the Honda Monkey (chinese copy) The number stamped on it is a 1P39FMB. The first number is the number of cylinders, the second, a P, is code for a horizontal engine. The next 2 numbers, 39, is the bore diameter in mm, 39mm bore. The next letter, F, indicates that it is natural (not forced) air-cooled style. The next letter designates that it is a motorcycle engine "M". The next letter reveals the full engine displacement. B is code for a 50. C for a 60, D for a 70, F for a , G for a 100, H for a 110, I for a 125, J for a 150, and so forth. Notice that the size graduation increase is indicated by an increment in the alphabetical letter? It's no coincidence. It's amazing to me the cooperation in standards of China. There is also prefix letters on many, designating the manufacturer, like Quinjiang (we have them all on file), which stamps there acronym, QJ, as the first two letters in there code. It's also very revealing, as the QJ139qmb is quite different then the other 139qmb's. It uses the 1E40qmb (2T) transmission components, and the engine case is a little different. There are also suffix numbers at the end, which designate iteration levels, like -3 in the photo below, which denotes that it is the third design, or improvment. Call or email us if you have any questions. We love to help. Here is the Chinese engine code chart with the example of the JOG 2stroke engine number 1PE40QMB-4 Some engines have the number plate on the upper rear side of the belt cover. GY6 engines are on the fron, bottom, left had side near the centerstand pivot. 2stroke JOG's are near the rear wheel like Honda Spree elite and DIO. They are often on a sticker on the belt case. Sometime the airbox needs to be removed and alot of grime washed off on the 2strokes. By federal law they are stamped on the engine case and are there, even if you don't see it at first inspection. Either way it will help you significantly to know this. As far as the chassis body parts go, you can reference your body appearance to the listing shown in the Chassis directory given at the left, or simply click here- www.scrappydogscooters.com/CHASSIS_PARTS.htmlThis list is growing weekly, so if you don't see your bike here, check later, or better yet use the Parts Finder form on the home page. Scrappy dogs are committed to making the Chinese vehicle market easy and fun for everyone, and affordable too! Thanks for the question, hope your not so lost anymore.

You'll find many scooters with different names have mostly the same running gear with different plastics. 2000 miles is perfect, everything's been broke in and the bad parts identified. Make sure you take out for a thorough test ride including top speed and hill climbing. There's one out there for you, make sure it's the right one. Prices vary from town to town, 1500 is a 'good' price here but may be a bit high in other area's, depends on saturation. If you're in Florida offer him 1100, see what he say's.
