The only time I ever had a belt break on me was because of a clutch problem. With the clutch still on the scooter I tried to squeeze it open and it was very difficult to do that was my first clue that i had a clutch problem besides the belt breaking. if it is a clutch gone bad and you put a new belt on there it wont last long. also what kind of belt are you using and what is with the discoloration on the broken belt it looks black/white

Is the object of the thread to prove that you just took the picture, or that you had taken a ride and got the picture. Here are the rules that were posted in the original thread; " The Rules:
* To start, someone posts a photo of their scooter with a landmark, the person posting the pic would state what will constitute a correct "tag" e.g. scooter in front of a lake.
* Other participants ride to a similar place in their area and take a photo with THEIR scooter in a similar spot.
* The first person to "tag" the photo by posting their photo with their bike gets to post the next photo for people to find.

Well the problem started happening again so the only thing left I think could be bad is the wiring. I think the main power wire where it connects to the battery was slightly corroded not allowing enough power flow so I cut a bit off the end of the wire and then reattached it and once again it seems to be starting normally now

I checked the valve gaps and they were open much further than they shouldve been

Im not so sure the petcock was my problem im thinking i might need a valve adjustment. what does the vacuum line from the intake manifold to the carb do though? is it really needed or could i just plug it?

No its not a loud buzzing noise it definitely sounds like metal grinding sometimes and yeah I just got a new battery fully charged hardly ever even really used it much yet and yeah its the 150cc scoot in my signature. And how easy are they to swap I thought I remembered something about it was difficult to replace a starter.

A lot of times when I go to start my scooter it wont start right away and I think my starter is going bad. Sometimes it gives symptoms of a weak or dead battery but I know the battery is good. It also makes some weird noises possibly grinding which I think might be worn gears. I have a spare starter on another engine I could swap if its not too difficult but Ive never done it before so could anybody tell me how hard it would be to do a starter swap.

Ive been having fuel starvation problems The reason I know is because I checked the fuel filter and it was empty Im thinking it might be a problem with the petcock. Do I really need to use it or could I eliminate it and just use gravity since the gas tank is above the carb? also what would I do with the vacuum lines?

The Lincoln Highway was the first transcontinental highway for automobiles across the United States of America The Lincoln Highway was America's first national memorial to President Abraham Lincoln, predating the 1922 dedication of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. by nine years. As the first automobile road across America, the Lincoln Highway brought great prosperity to the hundreds of cities, towns and villages along the way. The Lincoln Highway became affectionately known as "The Main Street Across America." On June 8, 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1938, which called for a BPR report on the feasibility of a system of transcontinental toll roads. The "Toll Roads and Free Roads" report was the first official step toward creation of the Interstate Highway System in the United States. The 25th Anniversary of the Lincoln Highway was noted a month later in a July 3, 1938, nationwide radio broadcast on NBC. The program featured interviews with a number of LHA officials, and a message from Carl Fisher read by an announcer in Detroit. Fisher's statement included: The Lincoln Highway Association has accomplished its primary purpose, that of providing an object lesson to show the possibility in highway transportation and the importance of a unified, safe, and economical system of roads. ... Now I believe the country is at the beginning of another new era in highway building (that will) create a system of roads far beyond the dreams of the Lincoln Highway founders. I hope this anniversary observance makes millions of people realize how vital roads are to our national welfare, to economic programs, and to our national defense... Several stretches of the Lincoln Highway are listed on the National Register of Historic Places www.lincolnhighwayassoc.org/  While the Lincoln Highway Association did not have sufficient funds to sponsor large sections of the road, starting in 1914 it did sponsor "Seedling Mile" projects. According to the 1924 LHA Guide the Seedling Miles were intended "to demonstrate the desirability of this permanent type of road construction" to rally public support for government-backed construction. The LHA convinced industry of their self-interest and was able to arrange donations of materials from the Portland Cement Association. The first Seedling Mile was built in 1914 west of Malta, Illinois, but after years of experience the LHA began a design effort for a road section that could handle traffic 20 years into the future. Seventeen highway experts met between December 1920 and February 1921, and specified: a right-of-way 110 feet (34 m) in width a concrete road bed 40 feet (12 m) wide and 10 inches (254 mm) thick to support loads of 8,000 pounds (3,600 kg) per wheel curves with a minimum radius of 1,000 feet (300 m), banked for 35 mph (56 km/h), with guard rails at embankments no grade crossings or advertising signs a footpath for pedestrians The most famous Seedling Mile built to these specifications was the 1.3-mile (2.1 km) "Ideal Section" between Dyer and Schererville in Lake County, Indiana. With federal, state, and county funds, and a US$130,000 contribution by United States Rubber Company president and LHA founder C.B. Seger, the Ideal Section was built during 1922 and 1923. Magazines and newspapers called the Ideal Section a vision of the future, and highway officials from across the country visited and wrote technical papers that circulated both in the United States and overseas. The Ideal Section is still in use to this day, and has worn so well that a driver would not notice it unless the marker near the road brought it to their attention   And for the next tag how about a border of some kind it could be a town or city border, county line or bonus points for a state line  |

Has anybody else had trouble with any aftermarket horns? I upgraded to the Fiamm freeway blaster a long time ago but it doesnt always work for me its like it has to be positioned perfectly or something. The way it works for me is that I cant really crank the mounting bracket down real tight or let the horn touch anything like the frame or whatever and even then it doesnt work all the time but while im testing it I could usually get it in to a position where it will work if i give it a light tap with a screwdriver or wrench or something. Then it will work most of the time while im riding. I thought it was a fluke maybe a defective horn or something until I had to replace a car horn so I got a Blazer highway blaster basically the same design and tried that on the scooter and had the same problem. not sure what the deal is with them maybe somebody else knows Im stumped. shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/fiamm-freeway-blaster-high-note-horn-7210223/6200014-P |
