couple questions regarding powerband and graphite lube By danny (Read 295 times)

graphite lube or nothing at all near the roller weights? I heard it helps to use a small amount of graphite lube but just want to make sure. I can imagine there are different views so I thought I would ask as I am fairly new.

Also, before I was able to feel a powerband on my scooter before adjusting the air mixture so with that said, would I need to richen it or lean it out to raise the rpm or to achieve the powerband.

I took it to a scooter shop and payed for an hour of their labor to diagnose it from not being able to get past 22mph and finally they diagnosed it and adjusted it (air mixture screw) to a much better setting but didn't fine tune it. I thought it was the idle screw before I figured out what it was but now there is no powerband and im wondering what I would need to do to achieve it again as it is still very slightly sluggish during mid and high end torque. Thank you

Weights are supposed to be dry, Idea is so they do not collect dirt. Graphite is a dry lube and if you are confident it won't collect dirt or impede the movement of the weights have at it. I always ran mine dry and clean. Probably 75 percent of "not running good complaints are valves not in adjustment"
