Right on JR,

Good point about just putting a shot of carb cleaner in a vacuum port, I like to use WD-40 as a starting fluid as well.

Great advice..

Amen...........Praise the Lord.......!

Excellent!

Thank you for sharing, mcalli

Peace, Shan

I know this isn't a forum for anything other than scooters but the engines on my bikes do "scoot" them along, so since you ask I will post a pic of one of them this once, I dont want to unknowingly break any forum rules and if this does I appoligize to JR and everyone else in advance....

My bike are just usable ridable inexpensive bikes, nothing fancy at all, but I have done many things that have made them very dependable, the one here in this pic is a Huffy Karaoke that I bought off amazon.com last year, it has high quality Kenda tires on it now, extra heavy duty tubes in tires, all wheel bearing have a very high grade grease in them, the engine has some custom made clutch pucks that I made from an industrial grade friction material, the intake is a custom Port Matched CNC machined Billet intake, NGK B6HS spark plug, high grade copper crae plug wire, main jet in carb. has been soldered and redrilled to tune engines for the 100:1 Opti2 oil mix I use, Head has had 0.015 milled off of it to increase compression and the exhaust is a pocket bike expansion chamber that really adds good overall power and torque to this little 66cc 2 smoker, there are a few other things that have been done to the engine and bike I have left out here but these are some of the things done, this bike has 700+ miles on it now and one other one I have has 1200+ on it, I have several other things that I plan to do to this engine and the others when I get the time, I have better needle bearing and seals that will be installed and plan some extra port work on 2 of them, this one has seen 41MPH under perfect conditions but I cruise it at 30-32MPH very comfortable at that speed with the 36T rear sprocket.
Not nearly as comfortable as my scoot but lots of fun just the same and when I ride it into town I get lots of smiles, interests and questions by many people at times if I stop long enough in one place, even the police officers give me big smiles and thumbs up when they see me cruising by..... it gets around 110-120MPG if I dont run WOT all the time so that makes it good cheap fun as well.

Anyway, here's one of them for ya...

Your very welcome JR, I got that info. off buggydepot.com, they have a lot of very good information on that sight, I'll bet there are many articles on there that would be very helpful to many of us, I haven't had time yet to really go through there stuff but I will be as I have the time, and anything that looks like it would be useful to us here I will copy, paste and post, never can have to much useful info.

Peace

At around 8:30PM this evening I was coming back from a short late evening ride after the temp got below 100 F. and decided to video the last 2 miles on the way back home, video is not good quality because I shot it with my phone but what the heck, you can see the rough dusty roads my scoot spends much of it's now 2100+ miles on, about 3-3.5 miles each way before I find pavement.

In the future I will get a couple of good quality vids made with a better camera up here.....

Peace

Thanks sprocket, you just learned me something new....LOL!

I found this info. which doesn't ecplain engine brand in the code but has other helpful info.

Now I will have to go and look at mine to see what mine says on it.

Peace

So you found a code on your buggy or scooter and you're wondering what it means. The code can actually tell you a lot about a specific engine.

You can find your engine code below the CVT cover, beside the oil drain plug.

We'll take a look at the most common engine code: 157QMJ.
The first thing to note is that the actual code always starts with the first number, and continues for a total of 6 digits. Anything extra is a manufacturer-specific information that won't be covered here at this time.

Lets disect the code starting with the first digit:
(Digit #1) Corrasponds to the number of cylinders. All GY6 engines are single cylinder, so this number will always be 1.

(Digit #2 and #3) This is the bore size in metric millimeters, in the case of the 157QMJ, our bore is 57mm. Note that 57.4mm bore engines fall under the "57" designation.

(Digit #4) relates to the style of engine. All GY6 engines are designated "Q".

(Digit #5 and #6) The actual size of the engine. The second letter ascends consecutively for each 10cc. MB = 50cc, MC = 60cc, MD for a 70, MH = 110cc, MI = 125cc, MJ = 150cc

That is pretty much it for the standard codes stamped on most GY6 and other Chinese engines. We will add more information about manufacturer-specific codes as we find it out.

Your welcome, I talked to the fella at kingstarscooters and he was amazed that the kit didn't just bolt right up on my scoot, he said that he had only been carrying this exhaust kit for about 6 months and so far they had been working out real good for people he had sold them to, but who know if he is being honest with me or not on that part of it..Shrug.

But I do know that I looked at some example on youtube where the 150cc scoots they where on did have bolt on and go installations looked like because there scoots had a different factory exhaust set up than mine does, maybe I just have an odd ball......??

Anyway, I told him my gasket was broke when I got mine and the rubber strip for the clamp was missing, he said he would get those shipped right out to me, the box looked like USPS had thrown it off a freaking cliff when I went to pick it up so I know the damage and loss was due to their handling of the package and not the sellers fault but he is sending me replaacements anyway he said.

Very nice sounding pipe.......I really like mine for sure.

Peace
