'dad, if the seller lives in a different state, you can contact the (I believe) FBI. And if they said they would USPost it, contact them. That's interstate fraud and is frowned on. ***** I got a limited edition Breyer horse (a high-quality plastic model horse) from an eBay seller who had something like 99.99% positive. Ad said both horse and box were in perfect shape. I got it, there was a scratch in the paint on the horse's cheek. But worse the box was moldy! If I had allergies I'd have been in the hospital. I immediately called the seller and left a message--"I need you to call me, there's a big problem with the Breyer!" Said to call collect if needed. Whatever. Emailed the next day. Nothing from seller. Called again that eve. Called or emailed every day for a week. Then it was I think Easter so waited a week. Called again. Emailed again. Never said what was wrong, just kept saying there's a big problem we need to discuss. No contact. I finally contacted eBay. They couldn't help, but they sent me to the USPost's site to report fraud. The Post took my story and also had me contact the police (which is what I think was the Feds) 'cause it was interstate fraud. Next day I got a frantic email from seller--"What's going on? I show the package arrived months ago? What's wrong?" etc. I replied--"Cops knocking at your door? Too late to act concerned now after ignoring me all this time." I doubt anything more happened 'cause I was never contacted again. But at least that seller got a good scare that maybe straightened his/her act. All rather silly over an plastic horse costing well less than $100. But I kept pointing out if this person was doing this for such a relatively-minor item, what else was he doing it over? Keep pursuing it, 'dad. Also, call your bank that issued your Paypal-ed credit card. Report the fraud to them and contest the charge. They can cancel it. Good luck, hon'! >'Kat Oh I know Breyer Horses are. My sister breaks Horses for folks and trains them as well. She Bare Back breaks them for folks that ride as my people do....Bare Back..cause Saddles are for sissies and Cowboys..lol. She does break them for Jumping..Barrel Racing and Dressage as well for the rich folk...cause money is money. Anyway she also collects the Breyer Horse Figurines. Some are not cheap. If you are as old as I..remember the 1/4 Horse that came with Barbie Dolls in the 70's..and the Paint Pony that came with Skipper. Try to buy one now...BIG MONEY!!  So you could have been out lots! But even so yours was 'only' 100 bucks...BUT that is still your money..just as this tiny 60 bucks is mine. I believe stealing is stealing...no matter what the price. As you say..if a person will steal 60 to 100 bucks..what else will they cheat people out of? JR..my problem was not with the shipper. Item was never shipped. Ebay and Pay Pal know when the item ships and is received...that is how they know when to send you a message asking for feedback. My Buddy knew I was looking for a gear set with that ratio. Being the IT Geek he is for a company...he found another INDENTICAL ad..on another site. Selling the same gears from the same IP in Westminster, Orange County California...marked as 'Sold'. The post was dated 2 weeks before I 'bought' mine. So...note to potential crooks out there..do not use your Home PC ...and normal home or work email address if you plan to rip a person off. |

I left a negative feedback on a seller once, and it was removed, because he won the case. Because someone signed off the package, that whatever drop shipper shipped to the wrong address, they saw that as a proof that my package did arrive (which it did, but not at my home). This was never event sent...so it was not delivered wrong. Did have that happen once. They did nothing...BUT the Postmaster did  My zip is 49450 and it went to 49405 about 40 miles away. The folks denied having it. UNTIL the hubby went to work..and the spouse took it to the Post Office. They did not even know what the stuff was but(Scooter parts) was she afraid of legal action..and she even said..'Over things they did not know what they were..but he insisted if it was sent to him he was keeping it..not his fault it showed up there' Until they explained the law dating from the 1700's..."Tampering with U.S. Mail' and what the sentence could be. Man I sure got that stuff back fast!... ;D But still..jerks anyway. |

One of the reasons I don't buy with ebay anymore! I ordered 2 items, never arrived, and paypal and ebay did not refund my money. Someone signed for the package, but no way to know who did. So F them! Their loss! Bro..nobody signed for mine though..cause it was NEVER sent. Now..as you know..Ebay has all the info as to when items get shipped and when they arrive. So they already have all the proof they need right?..  I don't blame you for avoiding them..nope..no Sir.. @ Doug...not yet...will be hard to do with a whole string of this > &^%$)($#@ so...I need to cool down first... |

Ebay and Pay Pal DO NOT have your back. I was taken by a guy for $60.00. Items never sent...everyday he said..tomorrow...tomorrow....tomorrow. Tomorrow never came and he stopped replying my and their email. They both tell me there is nothing they can do.  So be warned. |

CARASDAD you dirty rotten pickle ;D You made me spend a whole 20.00 bucks  And nobody is kicking you in the butt, what you brought up made a lot of sense but that little bit more for a heavy scoot hurts the take off. My trike weighs in at 350lbs plus my butt 180lbs that belt has to be low in the variator to get the weight moving. Maybe that is why it works with the 50s not to much weight to get moving off the line. Alleyoop Just kidding brow HEY how are we supposed to find out stuff if we do not try. It worked for the 50s but For the 150s with the 107 or 115 mm variator it works but not what with good results. Like I said I was the science project on this one and was hoping it would work. Getting little more out of the CVT if always a good thing if you can. Alleyoop Agreed...even Nikola Tesla...had to touch the first Tesla coil to see if it worked. ;D I am not offended..just making sure folks know that not EVERYTHING that works for one will work for another. For as we know there are speculations here that get passed off as 100% factual. So Sir...I have to admire your trying...while it may work for lil 50cc riders and not the bigger 150's etc...you guys can still outrun us..  Glenn |

If it is 12v 6amp and fits in the box...you can use it. When I sold Scoots some came with a 3 amp....4 amp...5 amp and some with 7 amp. I guess whatever they had on hand at the time?.... |

Not every upgrade or modification works for everyone or every Scoot. Just wanted to clarify that...cause I feel like I am being kicked in the @ss for bringing up the roller modification.  Just got to say it did work for me. makayla and ryan52 on here are locals to me and they saw the improvement. But that is why when I mention an upgrade or modification..I add a disclaimer.  |

So stock is 15/51... 13-1 ratio... stupid low... I'm not looking for 80mph but at least faster than stock... I'm running a bbk 100cc with 26mm carb n a UNI filter... it has good power n tops off too fast... im doing 51mph says my gps... can't trust the chinometer... so I want some suggestions on gears... three choices... 17-41, 16-42, or 18-46??? So is that 15/51 your primary or secondary gears? Btw..I know what you mean..my 2 stroke came with 13.5:1 Nice I suppose if I want to drag race...cause the rpm's get up there fast. The 18/46 would give that set of gears a 2.55:1 ratio...so for over all ration you would need to know what your other gears are...then do some math. But if alleyoop suggests 18/46...he is a very wise man on the GY6 Scoots and has done gear swaps. |

I'm don't know the jet size. I bought an entire kit. It came with the jet, and said to put it in. So I did. I think it said it was a 80. All of the above. Also recheck your valve settings..when they heat up they expand and will be partially open if not set correctly. Hence one reason that it will start when the engine cools down. I have seen many BBK's come with #78 and #80 jets...which is just asking to run hot. As alleyoop said #  or #  is best. That is what I put in all BBK's.(the 80cc ones..use a bigger one for the 100cc kits) Some manufacturers must have no clue about proper jet size.  I bought a higher end Big Bore for my 2 stroke Minarelli. It came with a #78 jet.. It needs a #87.5 or #  or it will run lean and soft seize on me.. |

Right on folks could you link me up with some memebers with parts stores?? I like eBay for the cheap prices but you will suffer with the cheap parts. Plus it is always better to be able to speak with your parts dealer Click the banners above. They are parts dealers and forum members on here.. |

Sorry it didn't work out for ya. Worked well for my scoot...but these 2T's really rev up...and I have 1.5K clutch and Contra Springs. Along with my 13.5:1 gear ratio..which is why I am upgearing it to 11.5:1 Otherwise it really revs at cruising speed....which sucks the gas tank down quickly..wow..  |
