lol, I am a traitor I know..but I was able to get a hold of the scooter for a great deal and it is a 150cc.
I still will be working on the bikes...next spring when I have the money for some good parts. And I will be doing the scooter too. |

These home brew bikes are fun and the big ones will do most anything I need, but I have pushed a lot of them home as well. It would be hard to explain to the boss about that broken motor mount on the third or forth time. |

If that is a chinese scooter, you will soon find that it is just a glorified version of the china in-frame bicycle engine kit, and you will still become a mechanic.

The Electric Choke is broken and the carb was gummed up major. Together my cousin and I have gone through idk, how many things of Carb cleaner and Mineral Spirits. We got desperate today and soaked some pieces in sea foam and that did some serious work on the clogged jets. |

It would be nice if you could find a rebuilt carb for it cheap. |

Try Berrymans B-12 carb cleaner, it's great. The "autobystarter" can be bought at the dealer or on ebay.
