after that or if you have already ordered new ones, make sure you adjust your idle down so the clutch is not trying to turn the wheel at idle, sitting at a light etc. if on the center stand (rear wheel off the ground) and the tire spins even the slightest while idling it is too high.

your idle may be a touch high causing the pads to rub but not grip during idle. this will cause the pads to glaze over and lose lots of grip meaning they try but lose it quickly giving you the terrible jerkiness until high ehough revs/centrifugal force keeps them put. you will see that they are very dark and shinny (glazing) and is very simply fixed by lightly sanding until no more shine and the color is a lighter brown.

the older carbs had the bowl drain screw on the bottom the the bowl instead of on the end of the tube that seems common now, so for giggles check if you have one that may just need tightening. crimping the tube will of course still work fine but it's worth checking.

i had a similar problem, though my starter was a bit older. for a while it may or may not start but always seemed a bit sluggish with the starter and acted exactly as if it was a low battery and would do pretty good if jumped from a car until one day it just said naw, not today as in being sluggish with a jump too. i found that the oil seal for the starter was bad so the starter motor its self had filled up with oil. there are videos on cleaning it and a new gasket is cheap.

i pretty much "glued" my beads to my rim by using straight dish soap (versus watered down) when i mounted it and breaking the bead was terribly frustrating. had three people scratching their heads trying to help me. had a bit of a moment and got an idea. took the tire to the driveway, grabbed a 6 foot piece 2x6 i had lying around. placed it on the tire next to but not on the rim and drove the car up the board a little ways and bam. repeat for other side. very simple and easy. after getting the bead to release, the rest is easy too, and now so is breaking the bead. i no longer even attempt to do it any other way.
some of us need that 30 bucks for other things and or prefer to do it ourselves

have to get that manual myself. as far as the gasket goes, if you have to have it running now, buy a gasket just in case. they are paper so it may tear. but it may not also. if it doesn't then it should be reusable and work fine. my cvt gaskets always tear and i just get rid of it, but this holds gear oil so it is needed, but on both of the ones i took apart to replace the oil seal, this gasket stayed intact.

it can be a pain in the arse, but if it came off it will go back. try removing the last bolt on the lower plastic to give it a little wiggle room.

sprocket, it simply runs back down the line. maybe not so much while running but after it sits yes. the foam stops it from blowing over the top and gravity does the rest. course my air filter is under the seat and over the engine. wouldn't work on the ones where the air box is over the cvt.

i use a ten inch slim line Klein that easily goes in the gap between the body plastic and the belt cover. too long actually, but it works.

my vent line to air box is it's own little section. open on top to the filter but has a wall to separate it from the rest of the bottom of the box. i just put some foam in it so it doesn't blow the oil up into the air box and it can drain back in to the engine. easiest mod ever.

it is a very popular mod to open up the cvt cover to help cool the belt and clutch. attachments.proboards.com/11599/scootdawg/XBKqDw0zif7e_s6cHEDM.jpg this is not my scoot but i mine is the same way. the cover is MUCH cooler after a ride than the stock (almost closed) cover. i have not had any probs with this and my belts last longer. no problems in the rain either. |

double and triple check how you installed the sliders, i thought i got it right the first time, but i did not and got exactly the same problem you are having. www.scrappydogscooters.com/images/slider-installation.jpgin the pick both ends look the same but the thinner flat end is up, with the rounded surface in the drive plate |
