Who is telling you to use 3g rollers? Do they even make those?!? Dont use those. Think of roller weight as a TOTAL weight, not individual. So if you use six 6g weights your total is 36g. I would not go less than 30g total weight or else your “Sharpie Test” will never reach the top. The lighter you g...

What RPM’s are you topping out at? If your sharpie lines indicate the belt not reaching high enough, it could be a few reasons. Like…wrong width or worn belt, wrong size variator boss, rollers too light, RPM’s too low, incorrect or too heavy contra spring, etc….it also could be the Motoforce clutch ...

You’ve confirmed you have fuel flow when you kick it while the fuel line is disconnected but when the fuel line is connected to the carb and you kick it a bunch…the bowl is still empty?

Try to start it while shooting a couple blasts of starting fluid into the carb at the airbox connection. If it fires but immediately dies..that narrows it down. Ive never seen a float needle stuck in the seat unless the bike has been sitting for 10yrs but its possible. It could also be a plugged idl...

If you plan on keeping the stock bore, keep the stock carb. The bystarter is a neat feature and Keihin is good quality. Youd be hard pressed to find anything that fits as good and matches up with the stock bore as well. Mess with main jets or needles if you need to but keep it. Clean the shít out of...

Try to tighten the rear brake cable adjustment screw a few clicks. Just dont over-tighten and create drag. Inspect brake shoes and replace if needed. Shoes are cheap compared to buying a new wheel.

Remove the bell and use a flathead screwdriver to “slightly” pry up on each clutch shoe. Just enough to break it free from stuck and not over stretch the spring. Good idea to replace the springs if they look rusted together.

Cheaper the better. The ones off ebay for less than $20 last me 3-4yrs with no issues. Would probably last longer if put em on a tender during winter months but I dont.

Gear oil should be changed but its not your problem. The issue likely lies under the kickstart covers. Im thinking belt or clutch.

The cost and time invested makes it hard to justify. Theres plenty of e-scoots on the market to choose from. Likely cheaper than a conversion would cost. Save yourself the headache and buy a turnkey”ready to ride” scoot. Fyi: I just upgraded the battery on my e-bike to a 52v 30ah and it was $799. Wi...

The “P” was the restricted version. The non-P had a different exhaust, taller trans gears, and a different ramp plate. The carbs were the same except for a slightly bigger main jet. The speedo also showed up to 45 but could never quite get there in stock form without a big hill or gale force backwin...

It restricts belt movement to lower top speeds, you will want to remove it. Thanks♥️ Yes, it restricts top speed and should be removed. It also keeps the grease inside from escaping and getting slung all over the place. Be sure to clean all the grease out with brakleen or something before running i...

No drain plug. Just need to disconnect the oil line to drain. Theres a small screen filter inside the rubber boot at the tank connection that should be cleaned while you're in there.

Pay attention to “how” it dies. Does it sound like its sputtering and bogging before it quits? Like getting flogged with excess fuel?…or does it just suddenly die like you just hit the kill button? Next ride, go with the body panels off and bring a tool to remove the spark plug and gloves (hot motor...
