since you have not specified how new the carb is, i would check to see if the diaphragm needle broke inside of the carb. mine broke at about 1K miles and from a quick visual inspection ( from the side of the road with no tools ) it appeared fine untill i took it apart and seen what happened. The "new" carb you installed, was it the matching OEM carb that came stock with your bike? if needle is OK then check the integrity of your intake manifold for cracks and make sure its butted up to the block good, dont put it on too tight you dont want to strip those out also could give us details about the "screw" you forgot to put in? might help troubleshoot. happy scootin'

edit: sprocket is a valve adjustment guru, if you dont have any feeler gauges, he can learn ya on how to still pull off a perfect adjustment.

do what gysixxer did and bolt it on facing the other direction, send it out front. heres a link to his thread,

its a few pics down but you will see it, quite clever he is. or you can just remove the bar that your under seat bucket bolts to. what i did was took my stock air box, cut the pipe from the box, and used a shop vac clamp ( the part that connects to the vacuum and then you connect the hose to the clamp ) and the shop vac clamp fit perfect into the stock air box tube. black rtv high temp silicone to ensure an air tight seal, and you can bolt an after market air filter to it as well. but for real just turning it around sounds way easier lol.

20$ a rim? wow. are they tubeless or tubed? disk or drum?

yeah its a 13". thnx D

well it turns out that the final gear shaft was not the issue. the rim is broke and i will be needing a new one. the shaft is still in excellent condition so thats not a worry. heres a few pics.









if anybody has a rear rim for sale, please let me know! on a much lighter note, this is how project 250c is going





carb rebuild, new tires, new tubes, sand blasted the rims and did a rustolium black engine enamel treatment to the rims, light paint clear coat, new fluids, new custom upholstered seat, and more to come. took it on a 2 up 300 mile ride, from sebring to universal orlando to see the bands 3 doors down, and ZZ Top. rode over two hours and waited over 6 hours in line to get front row, the experience and pictures/videos were well worth it.











the next day after the concert, we rode to the coast to jump in the big pond, the water at melbourne beach was pretty nice, not too cold, waves not too high. 150 miles 1 way. my body is still a little sore lol. Im very proud of the little 250, ran like a champ, and was great on gas. 10$ got us 170 miles before i had to switch it to reserve and hit a gas station.

hey fellow docs, first off, yes i know its been a while since my recent activity on this forum but im sure everybody has been guilty of being busy. since im down with strep last few days ive come across time to check in with you crazy folk lol. now to the point. ive been doing alot of work on my honda cm250 ( pics n vids coming soon ) so i have, needless to say, neglected my roketa 150 a few weeks ago, a short break half way through the week, i was cruising around on my scoot. now ever since late last year, my scoot has developed a sort of slight vibration in the rear end which i had gave it a quick once over and everything checked out, and hell it still rode good, but like i was saying, that day a few weeks ago i was riding and the wobble just started getting worse and worse, not over time but very fast. i parked it and the next day i took it on a 10 ft ride to the stopsign, and on the way back into my yard the neighbor says " ya got a slight wobble there" so as soon as i pulled up into the yard, the scoot acted as if the cvt belt broke, it runs fine but giving it gas, she dont want to go anywhere. upon further inspection, the rear brake lever is locked up ( very hard to squeeze ) and i figured out that the belt did not break. looking at the right side of the rear wheel ( the opposite side of the cvt ) you can clearly see the final gear drive shaft spinning inside the rim, but its as if its not connecting to the rim at all to make it spin. since i have NOT had any time what so ever to look at it further or take it apart, im only guessing here. im sure it needs the two main drive gear shaft bearings and the final gear drive shafts themselves. after a while of searching on google, for the life of me i cannot locate any of the bearings or shafts and i also noticed that there is a special tool required for the removal and installation of the shaft bearings. cant find that either. ive worked on a bunch of different vehicles in my time but have never run into problems like this where the part is hard to find. so any input on this matter? anybody have to deal with this issue before? will i be required to buy a new rear wheel? thanks fellow docs and yall have a good night.

congrats on gettn ur scoot movin under its own power! one small step for your scooter, one giant leap of joy from josh lol
