[replyingto=jr]JR[/replyingto]Yes, you are following me exactly. For the betaitistheride site, do I have to set up a new account if I want to login and/or link the beta forum to my PB global site? My existing login info for thisistheride does not seem to be working.

[replyingto=alleyoop]alleyoop[/replyingto]Okay, let me see if I understand what you are saying here. I should crank the kickstarter 5 times and check if there is any fuel in the combustion chamber. If there is not, then there is probably a fuel delivery problem, which I might be compensating for by cranking the kickstarter more than normal. If the combustion chamber is wet, that would suggest a weak spark plug (I know the spark plug is working at least somewhat since the scooter runs). I think I follow you up until you say “THEN take your thumb and cover the HOLE AND hold your thumb on it and TRY to start it. That should feed it plenty of fuel for it to fire.” What hole are you referring to here?

[replyingto=alleyoop]alleyoop[/replyingto]I have read that page before, but I am still confused about how "itistheride" seems to be separate from proboards. For example, when I login to my proboards account and then find the "itistheride" forum through the site, I am not logged into the thisistheride website. It seems like the pro boards website is nothing more than a way to create a forum or find a forum you are interested in. I hope I am wrong here, because I would love to have notifications on the posts I create.

[replyingto=ramblinman]ramblinman[/replyingto]Thanks a lot. That is so much better than browsing my posts for new responses.

Hoping to get a recommendation for a small engine repair manual, or something like that. I don't understand the function of the individual engine parts and it would be nice to have it spelled out for me in a book. I drive a 50cc Yamaha which is a 2-stroke, although I don't know if this would be drastically different from a 4-stroke or whatever else.

Hi, I recently joined this forum and I am confused about a few things. First of all, how does this forum relate to proboards. I have a proboards account but it seems to be separate from my "itistheride" account. I realized this when I clicked the help tab and was redirected to proboards. I was looking for help regarding e-mail notifications. How do I receive e-mail notifications when I receive a response to one of my posts?

[replyingto=prodigit]prodigit[/replyingto]By the way, is is possible to change my notification settings so that I receive an e-mail when someone replies to my posts? Kind of confused about how this forum relates to proboards. It seems that it is a proboards forum and yet changes i make to my proboard account to do not seem to be reflected in this forum.

[replyingto=prodigit]prodigit[/replyingto]Are there different weights for two-stroke oil? It's been a while since I purchased oil for the scooter.

I have a 50cc Yamaha Vino that is very dependent on the temperature as far as how long it takes to start.
I have to kickstart the scooter when I start it in the morning and the electric starter only works after the scooter has been ridden and has warmed up a bit.
I have noticed that when it is cold outside neither the electric starter nor the kickstarter will work right away, in which case the only way that I've found to start the engine is to set the killswitch to "off" and crank the kickstarter a few dozen times before setting the killswitch to run and kickstarting as normal. The colder it is, the more I have to crank the kickstarter (which is probably putting unnecessary wear on the scooter).
I don't know what would be causing this issue; any help would be greatly appreciated.
