If you really need a clutch I have a stocker that I removed the springs from. There is plenty of friction material left and in good condition. Just put on your old springs and go............. PM me your address and I will get it off in a flat rate box and you should have it in one day from Palm Coast.   |

Thank Sprocket I do appreciate the explanation (hall effect switch). I will be looking into this.

Pickup coil- honestly not even sure what it does. I'll do some homework.
Your absolutely right about the tack is isn't accurate or respond well when you rev it. I was just judging by the way it had worked in the past before the top end rebuild. It would want to blow right past 8K and I would have to watch it and make sure I wasn't over revving it.

Exhaust valve measured .003 so I opened it up to .005 for comparison. Intake was still at .004 so I didn't touch it. No difference, seems to rev fine to 6500 rpm and idles well and starts good but won't hardly rev past 7K. Even switched out the cdi box to eliminate that.
I can hit 7K a little over 3/4 throttle the last bit seems to do nothing with a max speed of 56.9 mph (Garmin 60CSX).
Sound like fuel delivery- carb?

It is a new head and I also lapped the valves as well! I like the way you think. Also cleaned up the bowl area and port flashing and had .025" decked off.
I was real busy today but I'm gonna go back in and check valve clearance again since I have about 100 miles on it.
Ever heard of valve regression? Kinda a new concept for me but it does make sense. Especially on a new unseasoned head.

Update: everything is back together and I adjusted the valves and put about 100 miles on it. It accelerates ok... goes right to 6500 rpm which is in the sweet spot BUT once it gets to 7K it takes a LONG LONG time to almost but not quite get to 8K. I'm talking like a mile in a full ninja tuck and if there is a head wind give it up.
So.........................is this sounding like the head gasket? My gasket set is still on backorder so i still can't change it but it sure is suspect. Especially since I should be about a whole point hight on compression.
Any other ideas- maybe valves?

I filled up today at a Shell station in Ormond Beach Florida and the pump had stickers saying may contain up to 10% ethanol. After looking around most all the stations around here have those stickers.

After my ride toay I am feeling real good about it. Don't the 50cc engines run fairly high compression ratios? I have seen literature stating they are in the range of 11.5 - 1 so maybe I'll luck out.
I wish ARP made head studs for the GY6.............................

Since my scooter has been down way too long and my gasket set is on backorder I decided to reuse the head gasket since it looked to be in good condition.
That Permatex copper spray-a-gasket is great stuff. I did a 100 mile shakedown today and it's running well. Oh yea- I am running about a whole point higher on compression as well. Should be around 9.8-1 now and the starter has no problems starting even when hot.

That's pretty cool......
I sure do like that Aprilia. I'm afraid the 200 Scarabeo or the Sportcity 250 are on the "must have" in the near future list.

I live in Flagler County but go to Daytona quite a bit. I'm interested if you have anything going.

Oddly enough that is good news since I measured my head and it is 59.95mm. That seems to go against the 1P57QMJ engine code but who knows.
I think I'm going to be ok with the other components as well since it was running with a short non "p" head.
Thanks Sprocket

My scoot has the "P" in the serial number and I believe that I may have ordered the wrong head from Scrappydog.
I ordered a standard non egr replacement head and valve cover to replace my egr head.
1) Since I have a "P"head this one will be too short?
2) Can I replace the timing chain with a non "P" engine and run this head?
Judging from some pictures the cam appears to be in the same place it's just the "walls" are higher and that will make the valve cover sit higher. I hope this is the case.....
Thanks for your help.
