Also to get your fuel gauge 'In the Ball Park' calibrate it. Remove sending unit from tank...look in tank to see if it is right around 1/2 full. If it reads empty or just above that when 1/2 full or 3/4 etc... bend the sending unit wire down about 10mm... reinstall in tank and check to see what the gauge reads now. Adjust from there. If you get no change..the sending unit is faulty.  But as they said above.. a poor idle is often a sign it needs valve adjustment..especially if it is worse with the engine warm..  Attachments:

Looks like your transportation is better...you have 3 Horse Power...she has only 1 Horse Power.  My sister raises and trains Horses..has since she about 5-6. When we got kicked off the Bus for whatever reason..we road them to school. Well her anyway...I would always sneak out with the John Deere 2010...3520 or the 1943 Model D "2 Banger" as they were called....being twin cylinder. I made it to school so no notes home..and folks didn't find out... ;D |

My Adly has something very similar..side lights not connected. Odd part is that they painted the lenses black..so they would not work unless I buy new lenses... Huh? Wonder why they did this..  |

[replyingto=jdmsoldier]jdmsoldier[/replyingto]What I did is...get one of these from Wal Mart or any auto parts store. Plastic ones are about 1 dollar...metal ones are a few dollars. See the part that hooks over the window? Cut that off so the back strap is just a straight piece. Then drill and bolt it to the plastic housing on your steering panel. Ta da!...looks and works great.. Attachments:

Not sure what mph they are saying. I run 15.00 @ 41mph and #250 at that track. See..now that is respectable and what speed I would expect. But when the videos show top Contenders finish up and win with a speed of 32-36 mph..  Guess I got spoiled in the military as over seas in Italy..Japan as well as most of the European and Asian countries they Road Race Scooters. To see them pull a wheelie coming out of a turn was just too much to believe.. wow.  |

Ok...I just watched several Twist 'n Gone videos from Jeremy Hall of Enviromoto... In the 2T classes 72-100cc I see the winners have an ET speed of 33-36mph... and the 150 4T's have the same. My Adly Thunderbike has only a BBK..2k clutch springs...1.5k torque spring and a Tecnigas Next R pipe.... along with a few tweaks here and there.. Rest is stock..even the airbox. It is my daily driver and very streetable. It will hit an honest(gps) 35mph in a lil over 50 feet..quickly climb to 56mph @ 8.5k...then drop down to 7.5k yet hold the same speed. ryan on here has ridden it and will tell ya..35mph is a matter of only a few short seconds..(not 11-13 seconds it takes them)and it zooms up from there. Granted I only weigh 145lbs. But are they running Twist 'n Gone at 660feet (1/8) mile? Using a range finder I marked off 660 feet and did 5 runs...each time I was at 45-47mph. So are they announcing the speeds wrong in the videos??.. Or am I just lucky with mine...and it is an oddity?.. |

Then it may be your Stator is not putting out the proper voltage.. |

DX DC voltage looks like this ------------- AC voltage looks like this ~~~~~~~ The R/R is a bridge configured series of diodes.. Diodes only allow current to pass through them on one direction...therefore any voltage that falls below that imaginary line on AC voltage...is dumped to ground. Hence the name 1/2 wave rectifier. Many of the large Scoots with lots of lighting and accessories use a more complex and costly Full Wave rectifier. It is actually 2 rectifiers in one..able to use voltage above and below the invisible datum line....because each one has a different polarity. If they made a more powerful R/R it would not help anything because the stator only puts out about .5 Amps or less. You can make one with a higher voltage output...but anything over 15v going into a 12v battery will cook that battery. As for different 4 pin R/R..it refers to the pinout and how the wires go into the R/R. They all do exactly them same thing...it is just that some Scoots are wired differently. Bear with me and get others to clarify if needed...I am not an electronics Engineer...that was my father. I am merely a retired USMC Combat medic..retired with 21 years service. Now a Cardiac Tech with a Nursing degree. Reason I went that route with my career.... Well like this...I got tired of the Old Man forcing Ohms law and other stuff on me hoping I would follow his footsteps. Did he not realize when Teens... we do the OPPOSITE of what you force..and preach?...lol... |

oh! then he was doing 61-1/2 knots Has to be.. ;D I have the same exact Scoot..56mph is 10,000 rpm with stock gear ratio. Online calculator from another site shows it would have to spin 12,000+ rpm to hit 71mph. Also did research when buying my pipe...top of the line ones made 8.5hp with a 70 BBK..calculator shows you would have to make over 10hp to hit and maintain 71mph. |

Thanks for the help--the piston was nasty and showed definite signs of blow-by and seizing. Running lean can cause this too. I own one of the very same Scoots. As you know they come with top of the line Mikuni brand carbs..well except mine was a headache. Tough Carb to tune. #  Jet was too lean....#87.5 was too rich. Just for fun I installed an Ebay 'cheapie' 2T Mikuni clone Carb. Problem solved!! The Mikuni caused me to soft seize 2 BBK's ..why?...no clue. All I know is that it screams now with the TK Carb. |
