Bros:

I noticed some oil on my garage floor right under my scoot. Upon further inspection it appears to be leaking out of the final reduction gear box. Anyone think this could be related to previously described problem?

Many continued thanks

Sorry about the 300 posts in a row.

Am I to replace the jet, or the jet needle??

Grazie!

Also, I have a few questions about acquiring a new jet. The Honda shops in my area don't carry many OEM parts for my scooter any longer. For some OEM replacement parts I have ordered from Babbits, but in general find them to be a mega rip off (e.g. the stock jet for the 01 SA50P is $24).

So does ...

Yo Wheelman:
The one thing that could make your issue a heat-related problem is if the previous owner de-restricted the pipe and/or airbox and didn't change the "P" jet, which is very small, like a 68? In that case, the mixture's too lean to stand WOT for long. Should it be so, you will need to ...

Thanks, all, for your replies.

Also sound like your overheating. Might want to look to see if the fan/shrouding is damaged or missing in any way. Also, what plug are you running?
I've got an NGK BPR6HSA with very few miles on it. The shrounding looks to be fully intact, and it feels as though the ...

Howdy!

As mentioned in the subject, I'm running a 2001 SA50P. Here's the problem I'm having: she starts up fine and runs as expected to a point. I'll be riding WOT for several minutes when the engine starts sounding labored, and then it cuts out altogether. I can restart, but the engine runs poorly ...

Wow, 1896??! Is it steam powered??

Is your plug properly gapped? My scoot cuts out at high RPMs unless I have a very tiny gap.. like 0.7mm or less.

There's more where this came from! I went all discovery channel and took a bunch of pics and videos while I was working. I was planning on putting up a Tech Docs thread, but I wanted to post a few pics here, too.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!1 I would pay money to see that thing in action.

That baby looks like a Wile E. Coyote invention. Kinda reminds me of Uncle Rico buying that time machine online in Napoleon Dynamite.

pic please
The scoot in my sig had a restricted exhaust. There is a thick washer (probably 0.25" thick) welded just inside the head pipe. This washer effectively makes the entire exhaust 'narrower' by limiting the gas flow. As such, it increases back pressure, limiting overall engine performance ...

I think the stock weights are 8g. I could be wrong though. FWIW I bought an OKO vari from VT and I measured the included weights at 9g.

Ok fellas
I just got done changing my transmission gears. It is 1:45 in the morning. I ordered my gears and high-speed pulley from VT cycles in HI. It was $111 shipped ($50 for gears $50 for pulley and $11 for shipping to Indiana.) I installed the pulley Monday night it took 20 min and gained me 5 ...

I'm gonna replace my front wheel with a ski, and the back wheel will drive a track.. The Snomoped!
