wow. once i get a set of feeler gauges i will be doing my own valve adjustments, just dont have the money for a good set just yet. hopefully i get that many trouble free miles on mine.

if your scoot is not trying to win a beauty contest you could go with a heavy duty tarp and some bungee cords. cute scoot btw, is that a 50 or 150? just saying, a tarp is waterproof and they have cool camo designed ones at wallyworld. i keep mine under a gazebo but tarp it when it looks like it will rain sideways. works for me as i live in florida as well.

was just wondering, i seen on jays spectacular journey thread ( didnt dare post on it lol ) i seen somebody posting how there were more spectacular journeys then jays on different types of scoots, like a 49cc ruck clone and sombody else on a roketa. wasnt sure if it was supposed to be amazing for sombody to put 20k+ miles on a ruk or roketa. was just wondering, whats the rep on the street for roketas? bad? good? i own one, ive been doing some minor repairs, besides the recent exhaust issue ( which was self inflicted ), i dog the hell out of it. got it at 600 miles, its sitting on 2400 miles now. i want to do a complete carb rebuild and a valve adjustment ( it doesnt need it but i want to make sure it runs great) only other problems ive had with my roketa is repeatedly telling my friends that its not called a " rocket A" but a "row-ket-ah"

yeah it was a super fast fix im not happy with it but it will work for now. as long as it holds. is there any diagram that shows how many feet of hose i will need? i could measure it all out but that would suck and take a while. yeah pretty much all of the hoses look almost as bad as that. its mostly superficial though they arent cracked all the way through. i will agree that it needs new lines though. what size diameter should i get? i see the different sizes and prices on that site but im trying to get an idea of what im going to be paying

ohh i forgot to mention to fix the intake i got my hands on a 40 piece tap and die set and re tapped the threads in the hole, the other side was a-ok. also used a different bolt because the other one was beyond repair.

there is a hose on the front, top, left side of my carb that looks cut. not sure if it is, or if its supposed to be the way it is. heres a few pics to show you what im talking about. if it is cut, where is it supposed to go? thanks alley.

found the source of the carb malfunction. while i was doing as you instructed by turning the screw clockwise untill it wanted to die, it hit me. nomatter which way i was turning it, it never wanted to die out, i checked the throttle pin and it was almost all the way in so as it was running and i was feeling around, i felt a blowing coming from somwhere. it felt as if it were coming from the intake manifold so i tightened one side of it, got to the other bolt, and it was loose. so i kept tightening it for about a min before i stopped and said, it should have been tight by now, so i tried to take it out and it wouldnt come out either. so i stuck a flathead screwdriver under the bolt while i was trying to take it out and finally got it out. the end of the screw looks to be stripped out. i was going to take the bolt off of one side and put it on the other side and flip the screw so that it had fresh threads but when i was trying to take the bolt off, that was stripped into place as well. being how ive never tinkered with the intake manifold, i will judge that it was like that when i got it. so all the air that was getting in = super lean, too much air. thats why it wouldnt ever richen out untill i put 2 many washers in the carb pin. can i get a vote to see who thinks the inside of the hole is stripped as well? so how should i remedy this? i dont have a tap & die set of my own, and if i did i would only have 1 shot. should i just jam a slightly larger screw in there and as long as it holds its good right?
