My cvt cover gasket wasn't rubber, it was more like cheap cardboard. When I removed the cover it just came apart in pieces. I removed it all and put the cover on without any gasket. Never needed one on my GY6 so no need for one on my 54B.

sprocket There is no hose that I can see which would connect to either one of the nipples. I have 2 Y connectors with 3 hoses on each and they are connected. Not to mention all the other hoses which go all over the place.

Thanks #1 As I seem to have a lot of hoses going all over the place and it does say the magic word California on it. I guess that is the reason why I can't find the A/F screw. The scooter was purchased from a CA company.

If there is less wear and friction over regular motor oil, then why wouldn't the engine run smoother at idle and at high RPM's? On my GY6 150 I had over 5,000 miles on it and use Mobil T4 and not once did I ever add oil and the engine ran great. For a few dollars more every 1000 miles I feel it's well worth it. My Dad worked for Chevy for 41 years as an engineer and they actually ran a 1955 Chevy 265 Cubic Inch V8 for 200,000 without every changing the oil, only adding oil. The engine was then torn down and no damage found. So go figure.

All the time I thought I had 35W headlights only to find out there were 25W. I wonder how many 250 B's are riding on 25W headlights and don't know it. Gmoney thinks he has Halogens in his scooter, but I called Parts for Scooters an they said it is a standard 35 W light. His seems brighter more then likely because he had 25 W headlights to begin with.

Here are a few pictures.  Then there are these two nipples with nothing connected to them. If there is an A/F adjustment screw on the bottom of the carb I can't feel it.  |

I agree Fairweasel The 4T cycle oil makes a difference. I pay 8.99 a quart at Walmart so it's not a lot of money to have oil designed for high rpms.

Doc will disagree but I have always used 4T moyorcycle oil. I use Mobile 1 4T syntheic 10W-40 in the winter and 15W-40 in the summer. I change it every 1000 miles and I think the engine runs smoother and cooler.

Well another day of Hell for me. I knew my new Halogens and Led blinker lights were coming in today's mail so I decided to get a jump on things. I removed the windshield, all the screws and the two bolts on the bottom of the front plastic. So far so good about an hour taking my time. I disconnected all the connectors for the lights and took the front end in the house. I removed the front headlights only to find out they were 25 watt bulbs and not 35 W. Mail comes and there are my two packages. First I opened the one with the Halogens only to find they looked about 10 years old. There was like a glue on the bulb and the connectors appeared to have corrosion on them. I won't say what I screamed out, but it wasn't nice at all. BTW one of the halogens was even secured tight to the base, I could actually move it. i said to myself no way am I going to be this all back together order new halogens and take this all apart again. So I got in my car and went off to the scooter store not far from me. I was able to purchase 2 standard 35 W bulbs, but they had no halogens with the same base. Back home and went to work putting the headlights and signal lights in. Plugged them in and started scooter. Thankfully they worked and went on to assemble the front end. Just to let you know I purchased these halogens on Ebay cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280497461381&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT Please do not purchase them from that seller. I already emailed him for a return. Well now I am waiting for it to get dark so I can see if I have better lighting then before. I should, but who knows. What a day I had. |

I'm going to take some daylight pictures of before and after. If there is a big difference it will show during the day. Should be posting them on Tuesday or Thursday.

Gary, I already have the headlights on there way. Good having another vendor to go to. All of rear Led's I ordered through Ebay and my front Led blinkers from Super Bright as they have fast shipping and quality lights.

CC Sorry to hear about your spill. Finding out you will be 62 next month had me thinking some. I'll be 62 this month. I hope the fun of riding our scooters isn't coming to an end.

Since I wear glasses I go with a modular helmet. Tried getting a solid helmet on and almost broke my glasses. I bought the AGV Miglia Modular II Helmet from Motorcycle Superstore. Has anti fog shield and sun visor. Works great if you wear glasses.

I decided to go the cheaper route by installing 35W Halogens. Received word from the Doc today that they will put out more light, and the same heat as the OEM bulbs. They should arrive on Tuesday and will put them in and put in two new LED's for the turn signals. That will give me all LED's except for the dash, which I will leave as is. I'll let everyone know how much of an increase in light I receive.

Second fill up after changing from rollers to sliders. 80.1 MPG. Much smoother take off and I'm always looking at speedo as it continues to gain speed without giving it more throttle.
