Yeah, I haven't been doing much with scooters lately, other than a ride to the store occasionally, but Have been learning ATV motors, I'm wanting to get another scooter, maybe a 250cc or so.. I haven't been in Conway much lately, except to make my snap-on payment.. They seem to always want money..

I have had really good luck with kenda k413 on my scooter.. Replaced both front and rear with those.. Really good traction, and last a good while.. Also only about 50 a tire.. So not up in price like Michelin or Pirelli.. Seem to be made really well.. I have a 1/4 mile gravel driveway to go up and down, and no problems yet..

Ok so my friends 125cc that I've been trying to fix for him won't start.. It ran about 10 mins this morning.. I just rebuilt the carburetor last night, and now it won't stay running.. It is getting spark, fuel to the carb, and compression.. He said it hasn't ran in 5 years.. Any ideas on what it could be? It doesn't make sense to me that it ran fine for 10 mins earlier and now nothing... Help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

That's good.. A little too close for comfort I'm sure.. Glad no one was hurt.. I probably should have known about that.. But I haven't turned on a tv in over a week.. I've been trying to fix the baja, and installed a bbk on my jonway.. Plus other side jobs for other ppl.. Oil changes, tune-ups, etc..

Ok so the scooter was running fine a week ago, went to start it the other day and nothing.. Checked the battery and its fine, and it will kick start.. But no taillights, turn signals or starter switch.. I checked the fuse and it was bad, replaced ir, drove a cpl hundred feet, and it popped another fuse... I'm pretty sure its a short somewhere.. My question is how do I race where it is and fix it? Thanks in advance and any help would be greatly appreciated..

I finished installing my hoca transmission kit today.. I had already installed the variator and clutch, but hadn't installed the torque sheave.. That was fun... Learned more about these chinese scoots today.. The transmission kit was def worth it tho.. Now I just need to fine tune the springs and sliders... Running abit high... Maybe buy some 8g and mix them
