Hmm - I'v always started the scooter when just on the side kickstand and only on the double (center) stand when I needed to use the kick starter. UPDATE - That former CDI (ac) mentioned above. I noticed the light still remained yellow when it stayed on as it was always green before when on. The idle adjustmant helped a little but it still wont drive. So I ordered a new CDI. 5-7 DAYS. I'll update when I replace the new one. Thank You Very Much...

There are a couple of guys selling scooter repair guides on Ebay. I bought both of these as they are only around 7-8 bucks each. They cover just about everything. If you want to check them out, links are below. These are for the 150cc gy6.

Howdy Folks - I will send for a repair guide soon - Latest Update - Got my new (ac) CDI and was a snap to replace - Scoot still up on the center stand - Started a tad bit easier but still runs ruff at low rps and as long as that rear wheel is spining it will stay on - It did idle on its own for a bit but eventually quit - As soon as I hit that left hand rear brake it shutts off quick - Note: All my electrical problems began when I had no brake lights - Motor turns off as soon as I push it off its center stand and try to get er to go - It just sounds like its out of timing? - When my nephew took off that sprocket on the left side to install the belt I wasnt paying attention to see if that gear moved out of alignment - QUESTION? - On that picture that Sprocket sent above for the Kickstand alignment marks - The gear (#1) all the way on the left- If it was moved out of its mark < (is thers such a thing?) to replace the belt - would that cause a timing issue >?? I know you mentioned the valve adjustments, but my scoot was runing great before I lost that belt -
Talked to a Scoot Mechanic who said he would charge $60 to check the wiring and around $80 dollars or so to re-do the wiring issue - All I can think to do on my own now is check them gears - Will wait for your kind responses. Thanks - Sleepless in stx

Well guess I'm going to take a look at them gears tomarrow and keep researching related topics in your forums - L

Hello, everyone - I am attempting to change a belt on my Roketa Bali 150. I have everything taken apart but cannot figure out how to get the tension right in the belt. Trust me - I have the right size belt. My Haynes repair manual says to gently ease the belt out of the clutch pulley to increase tension. Well - this is impossible with one person. It takes all of my strength just to compress the clutch pulley to slip the belt in. Once it's in the pulley it is too tight to slip around the drive shaft - is there a special tool to hold the clutch pulley open so I can get the right tension - like I said both hands are being used just to compress the pulley because it is so tight, so I have no way of easing the belt out to adjust the tension (no more hands). Any insight would be of great help and much appreciated. I am no mechanic and got this far on my own - it seems like the simplest thing - but it is impossible for me to do. Thank you and God Bless...

Do you have the new belt on? There is no tension adjustment, it is self adjusting...

Here is a video..

[violinjoe]

WOW - thank you so much - I had no idea they were self adjusting. Kind of frustrates me that the official "Haynes" repair manual makes no mention of this what so ever - that explains why it is virtually impossible to do the way the manual describes. I will try this tonight when I get home.

Thank you so very much!

Ya, I have the Haynes manual 'Chinese Scooters'... it is about 35% accurate...as most of them are.

UPDATE: Using the Valve Adjustment Tutorial: GY6 :
scooterdoc.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=engine&action=display&thread=140
I adjusted both valves at .004 which seemed to work better than .004/.005. Made sure the timing marks were set right. Bike started up a bit better, but still wont get up and go. It wont start and stay on unless its on the center stand and the rear wheel is spining. It still has a ruff idle. When off the center stand and with kickstand up it will crank but wont start. It seems to have no idle and wants to just get going. I'm sure if I was on a hill and and coasting down hill it would go. ( weird notion though I know). I hear some minor clanging noise coming from the (kickstand) gears. NEXT I guess I'll take a look at them gears again to make sure there alligned right. I did replace them just like the picture that sprocket sent but I didnt remove the (crank shaft gear?) that my nephew had taken off to replace the belt. The one all the way on the left. I need to make sure it is alligned on the mark. Ohter than that I'm gonna have to pay out the ying yang and find a chinese mechanic. lol I mean a mechanic that workd on these Roketas'...
