Greetings:

So much time (and Love!) went into that I'm certain. Show more?

Greetings:

Never mind. I forgot about my Repair Thread, here

Greetings: As promised, here's the installation. F9OldNew.jpg If there's a color difference, I can't tell even side by side. The new one had sort of a water-mark in a bubble-wrap pattern that came off with a light rubbing compound treatment. Full-frontal nudity: F9Naked.jpg Sharp eyes will note my a...

Greetings:

Stand by for weekend installation and pics.

Greetings:

For reasons known only to Honda-san, the tank nipple size changed in 1987 across the line-up, including Sprees, Aeros and Elites.

Greetings:

I recommend you check compression before and after a few CCs of oil in the top end.

Greetings:

Almost forgot to thank Mitch for the awesome front cover removal video.His stuff is always clear, succinct and to the point. Sadly, I lack the skills to produce anything like this.

Greetings: I had a chance to perform a more thorough inspection. The vendor is located on Montreal's south shore. F9ScooTunLogo.jpg That looks like one angry bunny. The price was reasonable. F9ScooTunPrice.jpg converted to U.S. Dollars. The Taiwan origin is confirmed. F9ScooTunOrigin3.jpg The look i...

Greetings; It's been months, but ScooterTuning finally emailed me that the SA50 covers are back in stock. :geekdance: The red one I got says Taiwan, the plastic seems of comparable quality to stock, and best of all, it's not repaired by a person without talent. (Me,,,) I'll post more once I get a Ga...

Greetings: Slop in the kicker develops eventually. The hole through the aluminum cover wears more quickly than the steel kickstarter shaft. Sloppy kicking - failing to engage the mechanism before kicking DOWN - WithOUT letting the lever come up a little - postpones wear. If you can find the replacem...

Greetings: I can't see vinegar harming plastic. Tap-tapping with a hand-held impact screwdriver might get the gauge off? https://www.amazon.com/Powerbuilt-Extractor-Slotted-Phillips-Screwdriver/dp/B004QO9FK2/ref=asc_df_B004QO9FK2/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312003160272&hvpos=&...

Greetings: My Polini worked best with a #90 main. I'd advise AGAINST drilling the pilot. As long as you have Noisy's filter well-oiled, the small-ish pilot isn't an issue with the sport cylinders. Do get a temp gauge and confirm this holds true with Malossi Iron as well. I recommend 9.1:1 gears. Tak...

Greetings:

Stuck or blocked float valve?

Greetings: Unless you are willing to change the intake manifold and run a pod filter, there isn't much that fits in the stock carburetor's snug surroundings. It was about 15 years ago when I found an Amal/Arreche 17.5mm carb that did fit the stock intake and box. You could try searching that with Ho...

Greetings: Yes it's probably normal. What you're witnessing is the fuel's phase change from liquid to vapor. It is an endothermic process akin to why the paint can you're holding gets colder when you spray a long time. Add humidity and you can see the condensation on the carb and intake. It's a prob...
