that otherwise would get into you carb.

i have a "piece of china crap"
at the beginning i had a few problems
but i didnt know about these forums
to ask for help.
now i know what a easy fix it would have been had i been either more knowledgeable or been on here to ask .
when i bought "chrissy" she had 31 miles on her
got her for $450 almost 2 1/2 yrs ago.
she now has over 7,900 miles
the only problem since then was a stator/magento
died.
Now "chrissy" was imported by Jonway
but she was made at their
Shanghai Schenke Motorcycle Company LTD plant,
it seems this plant had better quality control,
etc etc than any of their other plants.
If i ever get another scoot
it would have to be a Shanghai Schenke model
everything on her is still stock
well except new tires, brake pads, air/fuel lines, & a NGK plug.
she was radar "gunned' on 4 runs
67,65,67,66 mph's. at a bit over 8K rpm's
hope this informs you a bit more
NOT ALL CHINA SCOOTS ARE CRAP

DISABLE THE ALARM
and get a thick cable 'chain' & lock
most people i know who have had alarms have had problems with them all the time.
everything from not working to draining the battery.
i disabled mine within weeks and got a good thick cable{enclosed in plastic} and a great lock.

WOW I SAY THIS ALOT BUT I CANT HELP MYSELF.
i bought "Chrissy" off craigslist from a guy <10 miles from me.
she had 31 miles on her
paid $450
she now has almost 8K miles on her.
very very few problems with her
only major prob was the magneto/stator died.
if i would've had the proper tools , that could have been
a few days down only.
sorry everyone else has probs.

i am NOT a mech
BUT ive learned a few things
yes if u have a bad muffler,
different things could've happened.
it wasn't letting out all the burnt exhaust
and it has to go somewhere, so it went back into the engine
which will burn ur engine out.
when i first got "chrissy" i could hear her muffler was bad
so rather than burn out the engine, i got another stock muffler
id rather pay the $50 for it and not ride for a week{ till it got here}
than burn out the engine
if u decide to do a top end job urself,
theres tons of videos on youtube to help ya.
sorry u had probs

Yea I know, .... in fact some where here I posted a few Salsbury pictures a while back. I would give my left nut for one. They were the first with a twist and go transmission. I think they marketed one in '37. The word is Da Vinci had a form of twist and go in one of his drawings. Wish they would come up with a small car using one. Maybe a 1000cc motor, just a basic car with no extra crap on it like all of todays cars. Also Salsbury was owned by one of the aircraft builders of the time. Hence the streamlined body. Attachments:

magnetos / stators arent the easiest thing to change
