Its not critical like on a 2t, there is no way to derestrict the stock one,if yours is designed similar, I can't post a picture until I get home later

Make sure your muffler isn't clogged they hide a converter in these now, mine was clogging and getting super hot I will post a picture of the convulted mess that was inside

you have a Yiben, thats the YB in the model number, that company that makes it actually has a pretty good reputation, and is one one of the older scooter and small motorcycle manufacturers in China, mine i a YB-50 QT3 , mine is imported as a JM star, but the VIN and the Yiben owners manual tell me what it is. If it had been in Europe or most Asian Countries mine would have been a Yiben Scout YB50-QT3 , JM star is only an importer, on top of that the dealership that sold it, put the name of their dealership across the back on both sides, but mostly sell Kymco scooters

it's not that simple to get rid of it, this was my dads, he brought it down, I can't afford to buy another one anyway, i need to put brakes and tires on the truck , besides i like riding in the winter, if it would ever run right again, he rode full size touring bikes most of his life, and this was his last effort to ride, he's 75 now and on blood thinners so no more riding, I can't get on a full size bike, I tried again recently, I was hit head on by a car while on a bike and broke my back, and messed up my hip. I just can't swing my leg over a regular seat, so it has to be scooters

it's too depressing, we have about 20 people with scoots around here now, I was the first one, now I can't go ride around with anyone, and my 100 mile trip is now off

I'm familiar with this engine too, I could dismantle the entire engine and transmission and put it back together if needed, plus the wiring or anything else needed, it should be running, but for some illogical reason it refuses to run right, everything is right, timing, ignition, compression, valves, fuel, carb is set right but the won't run,I've been working on small engines since I was in kindergarten, and big engines, if any one could figure this out, it's me, I'm not paying someone to scratch his head and not be able to figure it out either. besides if it's a scooter you are on your own around here

I'm out of the two wheel game for now, I have done everything possible to get this scooter to run again, and it simply won't run, I spent 45 minutes in the yard kick starting it, before collapsing due to heat exhaustion, I bruised the out of my foot and it simply won't run, I have been through the ignition, the carb at least ten times, timing, compression, and it simply refuses to run, so screw it. It was a stupid idea for me to think I could get out on two wheels again, I'm too old for this , back to a boring useless life again
