Do you know the diameter of the old one? Is here any way to find out the cubic feet per minute (CFM) of the old one? When I googled it I came across a couple of options in the US. This one has two options. Both are in the $125-$150 range. The lower price option doesn't list a CFM (it just says 25% more than stock) but the higher priced one does. It is 440 CFM. If you were interested in them I would contact the seller to get the dimensions. www.mooseracing.com/search/?q=fan&submit=Search&docType=productThe other US based one is below. They don't have CFM or dimensions on the web site: quadboss.com/radiator_cool_fan.htmlLike anything with these scooters their probably is a cheaper Chinese option it you use www.Alibaba.com. I looked at a few and they were in the $25-$30 range, none I looked at had the CFM rating. Some time spent searching there might be really rewarded. |

Cyborg. That doesn't work since I can't get one made that has matching paint. I tried both at PPG auto and a local smaller shop. PPG did a match in acrylic non spray paint.

You had started changing you fuel filter. Did it ever get changed?
If you decide to do it is good to changed the cheapo fuel line that is on these things.

Thanks for any and all advice. I want to do this so it looks good in the end. Jct I have spray painted a some. I wouldn't say I am an expert. Buildings, rooms and fences using and electric and smaller auto projects using spray cans. I appreciate the idea of the propellant can. Below is a link to something similar I have found. I'm not clear on how the can connects to the spray gun. www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Model-Kits/Airbrushes/Canned-Airbrush-Propellant/p/897Has anyone ever tried to use one of these micro sprayers? If so did it work good? Both PPG and Autozone sell them. preval.com/all-products/preval-sprayer/Any other ideas given the constraints I have? |

I don't have an air compressor. Do you know of electric air brush?

Thanks for your insight. I learn something new every time I come here. Please keep all of updated as you do it so we can all learn and improve.
Have you considered replacing the existing fan with one with a higher volume (cubic feet per minute)? This could improve the situation and avoid having to deal with the tight spot and the fun of moving the radiator.

Have you removed the screws holding the aluminum foot plate down so you can get to the screws under it?

I don't have a compressor.
Well a 12 V very small one. That wouldn't drive a spray painter would it?

It sits under the fuel tank on the right side. If you remove the painted panel that is closest to the bottom on the right side you will see it.

I went to the small guy first. He wasn't able to do it.
I then went to PPG auto. They were willing to match the paint. However they couldn't create a spray can. They are providing me with matched paint, pearl and a micro spray painter since I don't have a spray gun.
This should be interesting since I haven't used pearl or the micro spray unit before.
Practice first my son.

I checked with a local Sherwin Williams auto location. They aren't able to help.
They referred me to a local small business unaffiliated with a major paint supplier. I called and they will make one for $22. I don't know this but I am guessing nothing is computerized there.
I'm not sure if I should keep trying with more major paint suppliers or chance it on the small guy. I really would like a good match.

rks.
Thanks for the heads up. That is a really good deal. I had fully intended to get over there before the end of August and get some. Unfortunately life got in the way.
If you see something comparable in the future I sure would appreciate another heads up.

I am replacing my rear wheel on a JCL MP250A.
My old one is red. I am not sure yet what color my new one will be, but it won't be red.
With house paint you can take an old item to Lowes or Home Depot and they can exactly match the paint color in new paint.
Is there any way to do something similar with scooters? |
