I understand that you wish to help. But you shouldn't be charging beyond expenses. And also you charged this guy for a carb, and it was tight valves that was problem. So you pretty much replaced his carb when the carb wasn't the problem, which, is a punk move. And did you work for free before YOU became the certified mechanic that YOU are? We never, EVER claimed to "know it all" or be trained in any formal setting. As for the charges, the carb either had to be rebuilt or replaced. the CUSTOMER wanted to replace it. And lets not forget the fact that we completely cleaned his ENTIRE fuel system, freed up a locked up motor, removed and installed a new electric starter, removed, cleaned, reinstalled, removed and replaced a carb. The parts were way more than $100 when you include shipping since we do not have a parts store here for these scooters either. Check yourself jerk. This is the last post on this subject to you. You are not worth my time nor is your negative energy wanted on my posts from now on. I would thank you to ignore all my posts that do not involve you and I will promise you that I will never think of you again. Good day sir. |

Well, adjusted the valves and she purrs like a kitten with her belly full of sweet milk!! Thanks JR and Alleyoop! Without this site, people like us would be SOL! When you can't get a reputable mechanic to stay in business and work on these things, it's up to us owner/riders to help them out!! And FYI, this guys total bill, $86 to replace the starter parts AND labor, then another $130 for the carb replacement and valve adjustment. Seeing as the carb was $76 with shipping, I don't think we "profited" too much off this repair. All we want is for people to enjoy their ride. PERIOD!! So Mr. blueboy5000, take a flying leap off the nearest pier and cool your jets. Get to know someone BEFORE you judge next time.

FYI After doing some more research on this site last night, I've come to the conclusion, thank you JRRyan and Alleyoop for the comments on other posts, that the valves may be the problem, not the carb. Since the carb is new and we're getting fuel, we'll check the valves today to make sure they're set right and try again.

Blueboy5000, we went into this "business" because there is NO ONE IN OUR AREA that works on scooters! We are an automotive repair shop, owners of a scooter that we repair ourselves and are TRYING to help other owners who have NO WHERE ELSE TO TURN. I only asked this freaking question because it was supposed to be adjusted out of the box. Alleyoop and JRRyan BOTH know me from another unnamed forum, they know YOU ARE BEING AN ASSHOLE!! I do not profess to be an expert, that's why we are here asking for help. Jerks like you make it to where people don't want to ask, don't want to try to learn for themselves, you Sir are rude and obnoxious. Good day

Hi Guys, We had a customer bring in a bike he bought, 2009 CF Moto 150, been sitting up, wouldn't crank. We cleaned the carb and all the fuel lines, filters, and such. When installed, it would crank, but not run without throttling up. Customer decided to purchase another carb rather than go to the expense of rebuilding his. We got the new one today, installed it, now the bike won't crank again! Should the carb already be set for the bike or should we do we adjust it? If so, where would I find the settings? Thanks!
