My 2006 50cc Verucci 139QMB that compression tested at 60. I found that the intake valve had no rocker clearance, so it must have been a minute amount open, I adjusted it to .004, retested and got a 150 reading. That problem seems solved.
I discovered while pulling the motor, that the rear hub nut was gone and the wheel moved onto the threads of the drive shaft and destroyed them.
This does not seem like a common combination, a 50cc on a large frame (150) size, giving it a long case, like a 150, any ideas on how to come buy the proper drive shaft would be helpful.
Thanks, Tom Cometman

Is there enough threads left to try and RE-THREAD it. Even if you RE-Thread to the next smaller Diameter you can always get a nut to fit. And you can RE-Thread Using American Threads and not Metric if you want.

Great idea, that is what I am going to do.
Thanks, Tom Cometman
