terrilee, thanks for the reminder. When I met with the guy that's doing the work, I make sure he is going to sand all the parts

Congrats jburd, glad you got your scoot going remember that your scooter will always tell you whats wrong if you pay attention to the symptoms Hopefully those adjustments are all you have to do. Have fun and ride safe

whid, I agree with you, my dream machine would be the 400cc to 650cc burgman but I do love my mc-54-250b roketa scooter so easy to work and I know higher maintenance but I enjoy working on this scoot, plus they have a well built frame and I love room I have on it

jburd, the ratio screw should turn easy using a screw driver.

There is some that suggest the lifespan is 20,000 miles. I believe if you change your oil and gear oil regularly and keep up on the maintenance on a of your scoot you can get a lot more miles, I think it was JR told us that he seen a scoot that had over 40,000 mile I have a mc-54-250b and right now I'm over 13,000 mile and going strong

jburd, listen to Alleyoop he is right If I was try to adjust the fuel ratio screw first, and then if that don't work you can take the carb off. (Don't give up) I had a lot of trouble with my scoot also, but now it fires right up, but it did take some adjusting to get it there What did you set the valves at?

justbuggin2, I know he paints cars for a local dealership in the area, I'd say probably a spray gun he is coming over to look over the panels I want painted I will ask him. (thanks)

I'm going to start some work on my scooter soon I have a man coming to look over my new panel to be painted, he told me to buy the paint and he will spray paint them. My question is what kind of paint do I buy? Being plastic is there a special paint needed Attachments:
