Finally making some headway now that I've had some time to play with the scoot.. . I have the oil leak at the split half area almost non existent. I used Doc's sugestion of heat , laquer thinner, wipe off. Did it five times then used a putty knife and forced red rtv along the leak area and then some. Works good, hope it stays that way.
I put in a 38 pilot jet (was 32), raised the needle two clicks, put in a 115 main, played with 11,12,14, gram sliders. 11's wouldn't run the belt up far enough on the pulley. Right now I have the combo of 12's and 14's giving me 13 grams and it runs GREAT !!----But----My tach shows 6500 rpm at 40 mph ??. Sounds high,, Eh What ??.
Didn't want to check it at 55-60 cause I only have 386 mi on it.
This is a 16" 150cc scoot.
Let me know what you think on the rpms..
Thank you Amigo's !!

Nah, that's about what I'm getting with twelves right now, hey, it's shifting gears, give it a break. Noodle around a while before you pass judgement, it'll change a bit and find some sweet spots. plus you got those very cool 16" wheels! Don't be too quick to judge. Nice to have you bumping around the forum again my friend. Rich
