Nice picture alley. Might I trouble you for a zoomed out picture of that if you can? Just so I can locate it quicker when I have a look tonight. I'm an electronics guy, not so much a mechanic. But trying to learn about all this stuff

[terrilee]

heres another thought

your airfilter box, came un done
where it goes into intake manifold

chrissy did that a few times and the ROAR
scared me till i figured out what it was

[gowron78]

Just so I can get the award for the biggest newb on here, do you have a picture of where that might be?

[damin69]

I will try and get you a picture of that tonight also... Oh crap I have modified mine but you should get the Idea from the picture.

[terrilee]

now this is my 150
but im pretty sure urs will be sorta the same

and nooob snoob

as long as u try
ill try to help

have u done a PDI ?
great thing about doing a PDI
even if it was done by a shop
is u learn where everything is hidden
behind the plastic

anyhoooos here my intake / air box
if u look my airfilter box is silver and maybe you can see
where it goes into the intake manifold

[gowron78]

Thanks! When I get this figured out you can give my man card back

naw ifna u dont know u dont know
i knew very little about scoots 2 1/2 yrs ago
i could find the plug, lol
one thing tho, my plastics ( tuperware) comes off pretty quick
i can now take it all off in 5 mins and i have extra wires running into the trunk, for the extra brake lights & turn signals

so i was always taking the tuperware off and looking and watching etc etc

as i understand , on some scoots its PITA
so..

yea so look and see if that clamp slipped or disappeared
and maybe that the prob

Heck once you take the plastic off the first 10 or so times it will become second nature. Heck the first year I had my Jonway I think I had the Plastic off the scooter more than it was on it. Now I can pretty much strip all the plastic off it in less than half an hour.

Terri You are probably right about that.

[damin69]

So as far as the air box goes this tube goes between the carb and air box.


I modified mine and put a flex able tube in because it would not ever stay connected the ruber piece that goes in the plastic tube would keep coming out. My mod works very well.
Connection at carb.


Connection at air box. (bit hard to see)

I buy all my scooters silver it matches duct tape , I learned how to break the plastics before proper removal . So all the very important spots under the plastic are easy to get to just pull the duct tape off and remove the broken pannel . When done put pannel back on and secure it with duct tape . The pannels rattle less too .

I don't know how Vespa does it but the pannels do not rattle .

Alley's picture belongs to a GY6. Here's a picture from my YY250T:



Leaks generally occur below the spot that actually bolts to the head. Here's a parts break out of the muffler and attaching hardware from a CN250.

The muffler is slightly different from ours, but the connecting hardware between the engine and muffler are the same. Part #8 can also cause an exhaust leak if it's defective.

Clamp looks rusted. And feels sticky. Muffler looks in pretty bad shape so I ordered a new one. Hoping it doesn't damage anything to drive it for two more days

So I'm starting to feel loss of power and on the freeway it's getting on the hotter side. I can't seem to find anywhere that's loose so I just ordered a whole new muffler system. Luckily I got to it yesterday for $80. Today I looked again and the people raised it to $380! Huh?? So I'm hoping that fixes the problem
