No Title...

Just my $0.02 here, but these's no way that I'd buy a scooter or motorcycle that does require registration and a title without the title! I did that one time many years ago and wound up with an expensive piece of scrap metal. No title, no sale!

Well I wasn't banned, but was seriously reprimanded for telling it like it is one time. It had to do with a kid railing and whining about a trip he was taking on his scooter. All I was doing was voicing my opinion and evidently that wasn't allowed. Then there is the Boric Acid bs, too. It's much more frierndly here.

There are many on here that are much more knowledgable than I, but it seems to me that there are only a couple of things that would cause the engine oil to blow all over everything as you have stated. One thing it could be is the vaccum hose from your intake to the valve cover could be plugged or maybe hooked to the wrong place. The other obvious thing would be considerable blow-by, which would indicate iether unseated rings or bad rings. I hope someone else can jump in here and help you a bit more.

Oh shiat! straightbangin! Do not start that engine until you get that nut out of there or you will really have problems!

straightbangin, is that not the same scoot you have been having so much problems with? It looks the same!

Exactly why I'm not interested in carrying gasoline in one of those storage cans on my scoot. I keep a couple of cans (those red plastic ones) of gas in the garage for the lawnmowers, during the summer. I've never had one of them explode in the garage, but one one occasion during the mowing of my lawn, I left the gas can sit on the sidewalk in the back yard, while mowing. I though it would save a bit of a walk to the garage for refueling. After about 30 minutes in the sun with temps close to 90 the lid blew off the can and shot gas everywhere over a 12 to 15 foot radius. Sure don't want that happening under my seat or in my trunk!

I don't think I want to go with one of those red plastic gas cans fastened to the back of my scoot, though. It looks as if it's going to be one of the custom tanks. I believe that a 4" diameter 8" long tank will do exactly what I want. That should give me approximately 1/2 gallon, or a bit less. Just enough to get me to a station to fill up. But you're right, Bashan, It's not gonna be cheap! Thanks, Bashan and Straightbangin.

Hi fellas, and ladies! I've been googling for an aftermarket reserve fuel tank with no success at all! I'd like to mount something like a 1 or 2 quart bottle/tank under my seat, with a manual petcock/switch that I could just turn, if and when my main fuel tank runs out on a trip. Just something that would get me another 25 or 30 miles, if I run out of gas in the boonies somewhere! Has anyone had any experience with this? I'm open to any and all ideas and appreciate any info you might have. Thanks!

I don't think banging away with a hammer is the answer for you. It's a matter of getting the latch in the proper position so it will latch. You can loosen the bar that the little moving latch is mounted too and adjust it some that way. For up and down movement just try shimming under the latch bolts with thin washers until it is high enough to catch. My 50 cc had the same problem. All it took was time and patience with adjusting things.

Fellas, that's just our wonderful congress, taking care of all the fools who call themselves supporters, because as we all know, we are all incapable of taking care or ourselves! (with a sneer)

Hi straightbangin! (love that screen name) From all the tiny metal shavings around that locking mechanism it appears that it does need some serious lube, and probably adjustment, too. If not a new lock. Clean it up really good and apply some lube. Not WD-40, though. It's not an actual lubrication, but rather a water displacement product.

I did message them and informed them that what was being sold could be purchased at any local auto supply store for miniscule amount conpared to what they were asking! I still think they are a rip-off company!
