I did that, have the same diagrams here. It is wired properly theoretically, I am just getting constant spark.

I wired it from the switched DC hot off the key switch (Black). I did try it direct from a separate battery, only afterwards in case I was catching DC with an AC bias off the motor circuit.

It is 18 pole stator 6 wire reg. But the ignition/spark is all on the DC battery side, like a cn250 (chinese version) would be.
Even tried wiring the CDI feed off of a separate battery, same result.

Alright folks, I'm stuck. Thought I could do anything, well something ain't jiving. Got a customer who brought his bike in a CF-Moto E-charm 150 with a Dead ECU unit. These Units are in the $600 range just for the part and if it is the Regulator which fried it, can be looking at $800 just parts. Customer did not want to spend that dough on this bike so, I said lets dump the ECU and fuel injection and go to a carb/cdi set-up. Thought it would be a slam dunk, wrong---- Got everything hooked up, went with a DC cdi right off the battery, tied into the pulse trigger and I got spark, constant spark, not timed spark. So it sparks if the flywheel is moving at all, like the whole time during the intake stroke. Can't get more than a sputter or 2 out of it. Tried GY6 DC cdi, CN250 DC CDI, with stock coil, GY6 coil, CN250 coil, all combinations. Tried wiring identical to the SYM HD-200, which is the same bike just no ECU. What am I missing?  Is the pulse trigger is different for a ECU system, or is the Sym CDI got some kind of limiter in it? Don't know, going nuts. Just hate tearing into the motor to replace that trigger to find-out it is something else. Anyone deal with an constant spark situation? Ready to give the bike back to the customer unfinished, but I really want this thing to work. |

Sta-Bil is garbage, I get a fair amount of service work in the spring from folks that use sta-bil. I used to recommend it until I saw the spring carbs that used it during a hard winter. I'm with Jim and Lar-ball, Sea-foam is where it is at. Farmers have been using it for years. A cap full in a scooter tank does wonders for the fuel system any time of year. I have not had gas go bad in the can over the winter, but in small quantities in tight spaces mixed with aeration like what is present in the carb, it can gum up in weeks without an additive. Another thing some of the motorcycle shops do is drain the gas and winterize it with racing fuel, that stuff doesn't break down like blended gasolines do. Get some awesome horsepower for that first Spring ride too  |

I know it is rear disc, but what size is the drum that is on the wheel. There are 2 different sizes of wheel drums (actually 3 but one is really rare) even on disc brake wheels. The one with smaller brake drum ~ 106mm wheel is only carried by a couple of vendors in the long case. The larger drum ~126mm is much more common.
You can just cut off the lower brake shoe pin, and if the drive shaft is the shorter one, just replace it with the longer drive shaft.

[replyingto=lykos23]lykos23[/replyingto]NP, no credit cards and paypal process the same. I don't remember the details of the order, only what we have records of.
We go up by you almost every monday when we are closed. We stop in Kief's reef for lunch, and if we go by boat we usually go all the way up to Stratton dam and waive before going back south.

Thanks for the Kudos DJ.
And Lykos, I'm sorry if you had a bad experience with us. I don't show that you ordered brake calipers, but I see an order for a clutch spring and a couple items that took 6 days to get to you and that 6 days did span over a weekend.
Yes we have a no return policy, and the simple reason is we do not have the staff to handle it, as we are not a high volume outfit. Many people order online and order the wrong item or order something that does not fix the problem and want our parts bins to be their diagnostic tools or to see if something is the right fit. Hard to honestly sell something as new when it has been sold once already.
We strive to offer the highest customer service and thank you both for buying from us. ;D

They appear to be a drop shipper with this site as well
madhouseparts.com
There are tons of these sites popping up and they are just drop shipping from a home computer with virtual phone lines forwarded to a cell phone.
If they do not have a physical address listed you should be leary of ordering from them.

Tank has not made scooters since 2009, so the warranty is non-existant. May have some dealers that have old stock laying around. It was always one of my favorite entry level brands.
And Yes, John at Valley Scooters is who you need to talk to. You need to call or email to find out what models they currently have, their website does not always reflect current inventory.
The majority of what they carry is Znen built which tend to have a better fit and finish, better fasteners and better internal parts quality.

pair system

Post by Abscooters on Apr 18, 2013 16:13:30 GMT -5
It is not a rubber hose, it is a steel tube that connects the exhaust port to the pair valve. Usually all steel (S shaped) to the pair valve on the valve cover but sometimes it is remote mounted pair valve and there is a heat resistant hose connected to the steel tube attached to the exhaust port.
millsc, you are talking about the vent hose at the top of the valve cover, and yes that must not be blocked or kinked.
And yes block off all vacuum lines that go to that emissions crap when removing it.

It comes with sadness to report this, as the owners were friends and colleagues.
Early this Month, Flat Squirrel Scooters in Lake in the Hills, IL closed it's doors. I wish Bruce and Kristy the best in whatever life holds for them next.
If anyone in the Chicagoland area needs their scooter serviced that they bought from Flat Squirrel, we would be glad to service your scooter.

Could look for a cover w/o the pair system.... For Ex: goo.gl/D5BgcThat does not plug the hole on the head. You can just take that S-tube and cut, crimp and bend it over. That will get you by until you can make or buy a plate for it. |

Just drill a hole big enough right in the center of the bolt to make the bolt head pop off. Once you take the cover off you will be able to remove it with your fingers (usually). It is usually the bind between the bolt head (over torqued) and the threads that has it stuck, not the threads itself.
