JR , it's almost 2yrs later, and since I just saw or resaw the post asking me for the spreadsheet.... I have just sent it to your email as posted in the forum. Took me a few min to dig it up in email. So if I previously sent it to you- my apologies... if I had not... well, I'm sorry for taking so long... hadn't been in the forum in a long time. James

JR, alleyoop, I have a 2008 Linhai Aeolus 300 aka linhai 300T I believe as far as parts go and maybe a few other names. I found myself in need of some parts recently and went ahead and contacted the importer- Sunright . I had looked up part numbers for the #1(P/N 41005 $9.19) and #2 Throttle (P/N 41006 $7.54) cable on a yahoo cart somewhere... but went ahead and called Sunright, and they quoted me a price right up. The price turned out to be about 1/2 to 1/3 what I had bought another cable for- but wasn't too sure about as it seemed to be basically a generic X inches throttle cable for 250 and up scooters. The ends weren't exactly like mine, so I nixed installing them. Called the importer, and was given a price for each which at the time last week was about $8-$9 a piece for each. Also ordered a bolt (P/N 10247 M10X1.25X50) for $1.00. The contact info is Sunright International of America , Inc. 1715 Lakes Parkway Lawrenceville, Ga 30043-8923 Tel. 678-546-9997 Fax 678-546-9920. I initially had emailed "Jim" who is the person you usually see mentioned in the forums, but got a reply from someone in charge, that night on their blackberry. Who then fwd my info to their accounting dept, whom I called next day. I read off the part numbers I was interested in, they confirmed the name of the items, and got it out UPS the following day. Received here 4 days later- today. I was using AMEX so there was an additional 3%...and shipping on the parts I mentioned above was $13.48. Unless I missed it somewhere in the forum, already- I've attached the excel spreadsheet with pictures that they sent me when I requested if they had a parts catalog they could email out. No prices on it, but that can change anyway. If the spreadsheet can be of any use... it's attached. EDIT: I TRIED to attach the file, but it's too big at 8.7MB for the forum.Is there a way to do this? If anyone wants it, feel free to msg me and I can email what I have to you. EDIT: JULY 1, 2016 Just emailed that spreadsheet (2 yrs later, to JR) per the email listed here in this thread, but also found the link to the same thing in PDF form Linhai Aeolus Mainstreet 300 Parts Manual

gatekeeper Thank you for the reply. I also forgot to mention that I "do" have a throttle cable frayed definitely. It's the one that pulls when you let 'off' the throttle. Since I have the scooter apart, I noticed it yesterday. It explains the crunch feeling I was having before I parked it. That feeling is gone now and that one cable just doesn't move at the carburetor... goes slack when I let off the throttle (not running it or riding it of course- unsafe). As far as valve adjustment goes...I did that a year or so ago and it 'might' need it, but I'll keep that on the back burner. I believe the numbers recommended then were .003 and .005 (different forum) and that seemed to make a nice difference back then for whatever issued I was having, and I gained power. I'm coming off of having it parked for several months because originally I had a roller problem. I think one got worn, jammed up, held the variator open/closed whichever it does. When I was rolling up to stop, i could hear a clicking which I narrowed down to that.Took off the variator, saw what was up, ordered some dr pulley sliders, replaced them, only halfway knew what I was doing, so basically got one of them in wonky during the process of putting the variator back on, so had the same problem and the tick was even more pronounced. At idle it would have a tick and kick the back wheel slightly... I guess the problem in the front was making the clutch turn fast enough to grab slightly. Well, anyway, figured out that problem. Went for a test ride. About a mile into it, it cut out...like no spark... kind of sputtered and died...stopped, tried to start a few times, waited, restarted, went another half mile, same thing...got it started again, went 1/8 mi maybe... same thing. After some researching in the forums, this and another.. I changed the fuel lines from tank to carb... vacuum from pump to intake manifold... new fuel filter, new vacuum fuel pump. Cleaned carb...Started up in driveway, ran for half hour, throttled up a little bit, here and there, but nothing consistent and of course not like a load with someone riding it. Headed out to go around block a few times. Got 1/2 way, or 1/2 mi.. boom, same problem...got it started again, 1/4 mi back toward home, same thing... pushed it a block home. I decided I was likely having the cdi going bad problem where when it gets heated up, it fails till it cools down. Finally ordered one of those (8pin cdi) the other day, and an ignition coil just to have 'incase' or for spare part. Went out two days ago to start putting the carb back in I had taken out a while back, and disassembled to clean and discovered the throttle cable at the carb was frayed. My intention is to get a throttle cable or both on order, and get things back together, plastics and covers still off, and try to run it with the old cdi still in, use a hair dryer to try and heat it up, and duplicate that, then swap out to the new cdi, and do the hair dryer to verify. Then put things back together and test ride.

I didn't see this thread looking like it was resolved-
So, I just want to say that i followed this thread, because before -and-after installing new Dr. Pulley sliders in place of my old rollers that had flat spots worn in them, my clutch seemed to be engaged as well, but only seemed as if one shoe/pad on the clutch was catching at idle no matter how slow I adjusted the idle. The scooter (Linhai Aeolus 300) was not ride-able.
After several times of taking it all off and looking for problems (except I did not reopen up the variator to look at the new sliders I had installed), I finally decided to open the variator and low and behold all the sliders had fallen out of place. I was baffled.
However, after looking at things for a bit, I realized that when putting the variator back on the scooter I must have slid the whole thing far enough apart inside the variator (more than it would on normal operation) and they dropped out of place.
Apparently one or some of them were keeping the variator pulley in a position that it would be in if operating at a higher speed than idle.
Once I took it off again, saw all of the sliders out of place, repositioned them correctly, and *carefully* installed the variator assembly on the scooter- EUREKA! that issue was fixed.
So, hopefully if someone else stumbles across this thread in the process of working with their variator and has the same symptoms- and hasn't resolved it yet- here you go. Another thing to look at.
Thanks,
cloudsifter
