Went out for a 20 mile ride today scooter starting to loosen up not as stiff and it runs very good. The motor will fire right up it will even kick start on the first try..
I found a very good article on how to use industrial Velcro to fix the loose floor Matt and I had to trim a few of the plastics to make fit right but all is good I am well pleased..
I hope to have bike broke in good I will be bringing it with me to Hot Springs AR for vacation to ride around on and site seeing..
I have not had to adjust the carburetor and I hope I dont have to since I dont have a tach to see what rpm is

Get one of these they work great and all you do is wrap the red part of the wire around the coil wire. I just put one on mine just for the hell of it even though I have a tach built in(HAHA).

Update on the scooter. I had to replace the throttle control it fell apart after 2 days. I ordered from scrappy dogs for 5 bucks it was all metal instead of plastic and fit perfect.
Thanks everyone on the pdi info because they were right make sure to tighten every bolt because I found some that were just hand started, fuel filter was installed backward, some of the fuel lines missing clips, a vacuum line unhooked, some of the plastic I had to trim with razor to fit. Even the solenoid the nuts holding the wires were barely on.

The scooter is still running great but I still do not have my paper work for the scooter to get registered. Jim is waiting on icebear to send him the paper work. Which sucks because I was hoping to have this done for the holiday I was going to ride.

Ok I will update on the scooter. The scooter started riding very rough I was driving and hit a small bump and the scooter felt like I jumped grand canyon. The scooter died right their and I found that the plug wire fell off and the metal piece stayed on the plug. I had some needle nose pliers and was able to shove the piece back in the boot just to get home. Later after investigating I found were oil was coming out of both front forks and the scooter just bottoms out.
I called Jim- who was very helpful.. He called icebear and they are sending me new forks.
Next issue my scooter got to were when I would go to wot the thing would bog down. And then I started hearing a tapping sound By the time I got home it was very loud. I pulled off the valve cover and the top valve tappet nut was gone.... I thought it had fell down in the motor but luckily it was sitting behind the cam shaft.Whew
I ordered from scrappy dogs a new rocker assembly.
I also ordered from ebay
orange cdi and coil 20 bucks
new carburetor for 28 bucks the ice bear had plate over the adjuster screw. I installed new 28 dollar carburetor and didn't have to even adjust it work like a charm.
Waiting on my front forks should be in today
With all the new parts everything sounds fine I hope with the tappet backing all the way out it didn't mess anything up because it was sure tapping loud

Oh and one more note I was missing a bolt on the valve cover. but later I was going to install the new coil and on the fan cover there was a bolt that was sticking out that would not screw in anymore and it was about half inch not all the way in yet.. well it was the bolt for the valve cover
and the ground wire going to the motor was attached to the plastic shroud of the cover. Like plastic will ground anything lol
Its been a learning experience to say the most. you just about have to go over every wire and bolt on these things..

I am surprised it kept running that is the INTAKE valve and the stud had backed out almost flat with the rocker.

Ok I got my replacement forks in and installed and now it rides a lot smoother on bumps. but now I have a new problem with shaking at high speeds. it shakes so bad the two screws on the choke came off. It rides ok till i hit 38 to 40 mh and the whole bike just vibrates and shakes bout to rattle my teeth out. It does not feel like a tire wobble I thinks its coming maybe from engine mount I can raise scoot on stand and even when idling the back end bounces up and down. not sure if this is normal there was so much on this bike not installed right I wonder if the mount is wrong or missing something. I need pics of how the mount should look installed... I am bout ready to trash this scooter all I am doing is replacing parts every time I get on it to ride I have to take apart and fix something and the plastic is so cheap if you touch anything it just cracks or breaks. I was just unscrewing some of the body panels and a few of the plastic pieces just snapped off while unscrewing. The plastic is very cheap and brittle ..
I think i am going to save up and buy the honda pcx 150

new carburetor
cdi coil and spark plug
fuel lines
front forks
throttle control
new rocker arms and valve cover gasket
