First I want to apologize for not responding sooner(getting ready for our trip and all.)
I did some checking found the scoop both on amazon and ebay, but neither had the mesh inside like yours does, where did you get/make yours? other than that I think I have a handle of the scoop, and the sock is pretty straight forward.
That is a pretty sweet looking ride. Do you still have the bike?
Thank you everyone for all the info, it is going to be really helpful.

First thats a pretty nice looking scoot you have there. Just took a quick look at my wife's scoot, looks like it would only taker a few minutes to put the scoop on. how much was it? and it looks like it would keep the stater and all cooler. am I correct on that or not? and does it really help? thank you for all the info.

Thanks for the tip. I was thinking of putting on one of those cone filters, but it doesn't sound like that would work either.

While I have a dialog going here. my wife's scooter, (Dongfang 150cc) get it around 20mph is when it starts bogging down, it slowly gets worse until you hit about 40mph, and no matter what I do it just will not go any faster. I have thoroughly cleaned the carb, adjusted the a/f mixture, new spark plug. finally in frustration, I took off the air hose from the intake on the carb. It ran just fine, checked the air filter, it was clean, so I left the top off the air box and left the air filter out, hooked the hose back up, I was thinking it should run just as well as if the air hose was still disconnected. it didn't it went right back to no more than 40 mph and bogging down. Any help of this would be greatly appreciated.

I really would like to do it and even thought of it, but with my scoot in the truck there just wouldn't be much room for anything else and my wife wants to use as much of my pickup as possible, BUT if there is anyway I can fit it in there I am going too.  |

Me and the wife talked about it last night, and decided that it would probably be best to leave my scoot at home, take my pickup and park it in the overflow. I'll still post picks though if you want. I know what wot is but not wfo.

I am getting ready to go on a week long camping trip on the Oregon coast. It is about 78 miles from home to the camp ground. there are a few hills to go over. None real steep, but all are around 1-2 miles long. Question: I have a 150cc scooter, is this going to be an ok trip to make on it? Periodically stopping to let it cool off. If this would be an ok trip what hints and tips are there? or what should I look out for?
Thanks,
Dan
