Good lord that looks like a project and a half. Heh. Might just cut my losses and sell this thing for what I paid for it and keep my lithium iron battery.

Yes I have a good amount of pictures I will dig some up.

Here is a link to the pictures to my motor as I tore it apart.

Does this by chance sound like your scooter this is what mine was sounding like before it went

that's exactly what it sounds like..........

[alleyoop]

Sounds like it is leaking by where your header pipe connects to the motor. Check that first before you go tearing the thing apart.

Apologies but that's still a bit Greek to me No idea what the header pipe looks like. I'm gonna go all 4 year old on you again and ask.... Have any pictures by chance?

Or maybe just point it out on here?

Here is a GY6 connection yours has a lot more clamps and pieces that then attach to the motor.

This is the exhaust manifold you are looking for on our scooter.

Damin,
couple of more pictures would help picture from there to the head and below that.

Heard from a couple people this could simply be the valves tapping. Now if only I had any clue how to adjust those lol ..... Someone pass me the greenhorn Viking helmet

This is way Easier than doing the Valve Adjustment on the Linhai style. Watch the Video in link below and do exactly as it says. It is easier than doing the electrical work on the bike.

Yeah the manifold is one of the things I replaced with the new muffler system. After listening to the noise more closely, it sounds like it's originating more on the left side of the engine towards the top. Is that where the valves are?

[damin69]

Valves are at the top. Definitely try doing the valve adjustment and anything else that could be the issue.

[gowron78]

Going to try a valve adjustment tonight. Is there any rule of thumb when moving these things or just... move it till is stops tapping?
