video labeled moped problems 3 the 5th video.

if, that video is of the green line, its not running gas how it was running it in the video i guess.. 4th video, named moped. at the bottom almost of page 3.

thats all im seeing. im thinking in 5th video, that its the green line and its barely spurting any gas. so you've got no gas flow. but im not screwing with it anymore. get some good light, show the gas line. your bike doesnt run but we dont see the fuel pump operating correctly. i cant say your fuel pumps not hooked up right. do it.

cause my question is, how does it get any gas period.

i sorta dont see no fuel coming through that purple line. maybe your vacuum lines, i dont know if thats how that works, mines gravity petcock fed, that black line, dont know if you have vacuum and its not operating becuase of it. if it needs vacuum.. to operate, try sucking the vacuum line and hitting your starter button. just keep vaccum on the vacuum side line and it should operate the fuel pump. find out why theres no vacuum or why the lines not got nothing in it. your running on vapors

ok.  i went back over what your put.  im just answering the part about the roller weights.

and you read somewhere else that it doesnt work?

it works for me.  and you asked for an explanation.  using a weight scale as a, blueprint, for how the cvt works.  i cant figure out much more than that. 

the belt should be taught,

you konw taught... tight, taught, on the cvt system.  almost like the other pulley is hanging.  then instaed of thinking of the drive pulley the one, thats hanging as spinning and some roller weights magically sliding theyre way up this ramp plate, on the back of the variator, just think of it as a weight scale.  just start pulling.  you could nail it to your wall. i made this imagery here for you to figure out how the cvt works.  when you weigh it down, by pulling, its the same concept as the roller weights sliding up in the top of the variator because of centrifical force.  but remember, the rear pulley slides like out, away from the other side when it drops down, like, i think CCW. same direction the belts spinning.  too.  at least on mine.  it does anyway.

if you where to put a scale, like how they figure out how much a fish weighs, and hooked it to the belt, and pulled, on the scale.  you could figure out what about of weight or ft/lbs since its worked. 

of torque.  figure out, rpms of motor, weigh, add up centrifical force.  figure out when it shfts.

but whatever we just swap roller weights out until it runs.  mine works pretty good.  what ive heard is shift, right at powerband takeoff.

the whole weight pushing on the outside of the variator when it reaches a certain amount of force overcomes the contra spring in the rear driven pulley of your cvt.

if all the roller weights where one gigantic block. and you cut off a slice. its like instead of 6 x6 grams 36grams in your variator. itd be like 3x6 3x7 6.5 x 6 39grams... did i add that right?

see the rear driven pulley in the cvt is using the contra spring to keep the belt from going down in the back. and its going to take so much force. if you took it off and wrapped the belt around the driven pulley maybe.. like, nailed it to the wall, and then grabbed the belt and pulled it to the bottom of the driven pulley thing. if you where to take a scale. it would take. so many ft lbs.

the front shifts it by the roller weights in that variator with the ramps. the centrifical force, when it spins, adds up to ft/lbs. of troque. when you get up to your driven pulleys give point, the freaking variator shifts, and off you go into 2nd gear.

ive mixed max for me 7 gram and 5 grams roller weights. that much of a difference.

see if youy took and pulled the belt to the bottom of the driven pulley. and used a scale, and figured it took 50ft /lbs, a random number, ok. so no matter wht it takes 50 ft/lbs until the spring in the back starts to wear and become weaker.

so it doesnt matter if you pull the belt by hand, at 25ft/lbs and someone else you get to help you does it too, at 25ft/lbs. the freaking driven pulley is going to be shifted. if you do it yourself its the same. so it doesnt matter.

18psi in hte front and 32psi or something, in the back. the front doesnt have no weight on it, and you need it for the tread. your riding on with a balloon in the front if you pump it up that much.

and my service manual on my 50 cc honda says that for my 10 inch rims and ive seen it labelled for others.

and, if you replace the valve stems, get some 45 degree angle ones, but you dont have to if yours looks good, ehm so that you can get gas station air pump nozzle things on your tires.

see, i had a motor and had a extra parts bike. my motor, i needed a crank, and my left case half i had stripped a few bolt holes. it worked. i just decided that thta bike had a good crankshaft that spun fine, and a clean left case half. thought id swap.

crank, for some odd reason had half a millimeter of material missing from the seal part where the crankcase seal sealed, around it, on the lip. supposed to measured out at 20mm and was 19.45-19.5mm. all i done was a little vinegar soak, (4hours) and a little wd40 and brillo pad, to shine it back up after hearing, and seeing vinegar dulled it. and wondered. but the arm was supposed to measure, 14mm. and measured 13.95. .. i didnt brillo there as much? dont know didnt retest it. i did compare these measurements to my crank i had just took out and the 19.45 was off from the 20.00mm i measured off my crank. the 13.95 wasnt off too much at the 14mm i pretty much measwured off the other.

anyway, whatever. i figured the cases came off a machine and they would fit each other. so i didnt test fit the cases together or nothing, looked clean.

but when i went to set them together, like test fit, when the motor was hot and i was sealing the case, it just wobbled on it. wouldnt sit together flat. so i just somehow, tightened the bolts together.

thats what i found when i tore it back apart. something was going on, it wouldnt stay running, after 10 miles.

the crank was blowing air. and i was test fitting the cases, after having to hold them together and just finger tighten the bolts in.

the thing was, i was using the right half of my motor which was good. and the crack, between the 2 halves, the 2 cracks where sucking in air. and little rocks. and starting to pit my case. if i hadnt of looked, it would of pitted my right case half up to where it wouldnt seal no more and i wouldnt have a flat, smooth seal area around my 2 case halves.

soo, good thing i checked. i still got my left case side. i retap the holes and stuff. or thread insert. my right case half is fine, just a couple of pit marks. its good i checked it and didnt keep running it. plus i was seeing black oily stuff starting to blow out on the side, of the motor. made me think air leaks, thought maybe my sealant didnt seal. but thought its too big of a hole, and the problem i had. need to check it.

10 more miles that case half might not of sealed.
