Learned that via the hard way. However; the V weights are round and dry, so put back together a got scooter running again albeit still a max speed of almost 20mph. I am going to run another tank of 93 octane plus a capful of a carb cleaner through it before I deal with a new carb.
Thoughts?

Thanks, but I am going backward. I started with a scooter that ran but only went 15 mph.
I have now removed the variator and clutch cover and tried to mimic the video to watch the clutch and variator operate. The scooter won'T start.
What else am I missing?

Mechancal yes. Understanding what the variator does is puzzling to me. I watched a video of changing weights on a larger bike and it seems simple enough, but I don'T understand the function.
Thanks

sounds like an issue in the CVT. that contains the 1.variator. 2.drive belt. 3.big spring in rear. are you mechanically inclined to get into this. there is lots of help and videos here. |

I bought this scooter that hadn'T been used since 2014. After putting in new fuel and a battery charge it starts fine, but only goes 15 mph. However, running the scooter on the stand the engine revs up to a level that should certainly make it go somewhat faster (I need at least 25 mph for the limited use I have).
Any suggestions?
