the idea in the video is good, but it's the wrong material and they will still come loose, they need to be safety wired to each other, then to a fixed point on the engine, this prevents them from moving at all, safety wire and a basic set of safety wire pliers isn't that much, plus there are many other things that need to be safety wired on a bike, there are good videos on youtube on the proper technique , bikes have the same issues as airplane engines, everything wants to vibrate loose.

Not that the starter switch can't go bad But it's very likely that the starter relay has started to stick They get rusty inside and the OEM relay is soooo cheap You can get a replacement relay at any auto parts store Even the generic no name stuff is ten times better Every China scooter I have ever had or worked on has that part go bad sooner than later the plastic in the starter switch binds, I just took mine apart, lubed it with some silicone dielectric grease, and it's fine, the safety system only allows power to the start switch when the brake is pulled, I think that's universal on most Chinese stuff, so every time I pulled the brake the starter would engage |

The original carb was running dry. The intake/exhaust combo flushed all fuel from the carb whenever it rode. When I went to take it apart, the screws at the bottom were grinded off; unservicable. What I am reading now, perhaps, an aftermarket OEM spec carb that I can at least rejet might be in order. I got the balance right finally, but had to turn the a/f flow pretty wide, so Im guessing it IS too much air going in and will never find enough fuel to feed it. they can be serviced look up how to repair a sealed carb on youtube lots of videos, you can get the screws out, you are better to get a stock or close to stock size carb, in a name brand,such as Keihin, then you can get a jet kit and swap jets around to see how they work, it's really easy to do, lots of videos out there. if you are going close to stock you need to probably only mess with the main jet. Get rid of the pod filter, use the stock airbox, it's really hard to get these carbs right with those type of filters. you said te stock carb was 'dry' do you mean the main jets were too small? or it wasn't getting enough fuel from the tank? the tank should have been able to flow enough fuel to flood out the carb with too big of a jet, did you check your fuel petcock to make sure fuel was flowing? or your fuel filter was clean? do you have a pair system on yours? emissions. they frequently develop vacuum leaks so there isn't enough vacuum at the manifold to operate the petcock, find the pair system small hose going to the manifold and cap off the manifold port, to see how it does. mine had a massive vacuum leak at only 400 miles. have you checked your intake to spacer gaskets? they develop leaks and are a pain in the to get to seal right , a leak here will drive you crazy trying to find the problem |

I recently replaced the stock fuel filter the shady mechanic installed in place of the (older) high-flow fuel filter I got from SD. It was browned out and soaked in fuel, so they installed the stock one. I swapped it back with a new larger one I bought from Advanced Auto to the same dimension. You're saying its TOO much fuel for the carb, increased pressure on the fuel pump? (isn't the petcock just a manual vaccuum?) I have a 32mm CVK carb on my GY6 150cc, with a custom intake situation to handle the air flow. that filter has nothing to do with it, its a gravity fed tank, if fuel is flowing through the filter its fine |

part of mine was broken under the headlight panel before I got it, but the only thing broken by me, is when some waste of oxygen hid a brick at the entrance of my driveway and the scooter landed on top of me , the mounting tabs are still attached,so I have to try the glue trick

I like the smart phones because I can download some backroads route off of google, download it, then listen to the GPS tell me my turns, with the phone in my pocket, I don't care for texts, but I can use samsung S voice to dial my phone, and do a lot of other stuff if needed, without ever touching a button or taking my hands off the bars, when i get on some open road i can tell it to play a preloaded playlist, turn the volume up or down, or off , skip tracks etc all hands free, looking for a new bluetooth headset now
