Re: PCX Grows to 150cc (Apres Le SA, Mais Quoi?)

GTS 300 Super. If you like the nostalgic look, this one`s got the same displacement, GTV 300. Bring your wallet........ :surprise: 385x385-09388b7946ddf19b2463d9b8ad031139.jpg I've worked on one of these before. Really nice scooter. Not cheap. No one can make a suspension like vespa. I would take i...

coolant in the cylinder

Why would this happen? What is the solution - other than throwing it out the window?

The scoot is a Malaguti F15 Firefox... no affiliation with the browser...

Stuck in China town.

I thought the title was particularly clever. A customer brought in a bike that had been sitting for a while. 600ish kilometers on it. Practically nothing. Cleaned the carb, got it running, but has been weird ever since. Wont idle and cold starting is difficult. PLugs are reading really rich - like r...

Re: Chinese trouble

But why would an air leak cause a jet black carbon fouled spark plug?

New vac/fuel lines valve clearance set new plug again tested with another coil I thought i had it sussed - ran up and down the road well, but then the symptoms appeared again - i think the plug is getting fouled with carbon. Spark is there but seems more w...

working on a jetski vs scooter

aside from the obvious differences, how much different is it working on pwc's as opposed to the single cylinder scooters? Anyone made the transition? I may have the opportunity to start working on jetskis - we'll see.

Re: Surviving on the road--how do you do it?

You know it's funny - I find it easier to ride during rush hour in the traffic than mid day when folks are in a hurry and driving too fast. The scooter seems equipped perfectly for the stop and go and other drivers are a little more cautious during heavy traffic. My sentiment echos what has been sai...
