could be a bad diaphragm in the petcock. you could gravity feed the fuel with an inline fuel shutoff, remove the petcock and block the vacuum source at the manifold.

looks like a moped stator; treatland.com may have what you're looking for.

I think that might be the idea, matching puck gears with tire circumference. he might have better luck with a different tire size.

buying a new gear may not help as all chinese speedometers are "off".

I might be wrong but there may be a Maine loophole as well. you would need to contact a resident of Maine, sign over power of attorney and then I think all you need is a bill of sale, completed DMV form and the fees. the resident would then register the bike and mail supporting paperwork and plate to you.

if it's less than 15 years old it needs a title.

I have done the VT thing for my moped. it's true VT does not require you to be a resident. it's true you do not need a title for any bike less than 300cc's and more than 15 years old. all you need is a bill of sale, a completed VT registration form and the fee. you don't even need insurance. they will mail you a VT plate and registration which you then take to your local DMV and exchange it. it's completely legal and it works for most states.

run a wire from any of the valve cover bolts to any nearby bolt on the frame. if the spark plug will not fire on the cylinder but will on the frame this is usually the cause. remember, the battery is grounded to the frame but not the motor so when the electrical pulse is sent to the spark plug and the engine is not grounded there is no complete circuit to allow the plug to fire.

what would running a ground wire to the frame from the engine do? without grounding the engine to the frame the spark plug can't ground so it can fire. |

cyborg is right, a very common problem is the engine isn't grounded. i hope you're testing for spark on the cylinder head and not the frame.

hopefully it's something simple like the rear wheel hitting something. might be wheel bearings, brakes or something deeper inside.

if you remove the front panel you should see the steering head nut that may need to be re-tightened. that should fix the rocking/vibrating front end. please don't ride it like that. scraping from the rear could be a bunch of things. does it happen both hot and cold? single or double riding? does it change with rpm?

sounds like the jets may be partially clogged.

it shouldn't take special tools ( other than a feeler gauge and impact gun ) to work on these bikes. front panels on mine are held on with 4 phillips head screws. the noise from the cvt is probably either a worn out belt or rollers in the variator.
