WEll I never got around to even trying a propane conversion, I decided to just keep it simple and use premium gasoline during the week, and 100 octane sunoco race fuel on the weekends.Man this scoot runs like a bat out of hell on that fuel,but its 8 bucks a gallon where I live.( and its a 40 mile drive just to go get it)

Im getting my 150cc back in a few days, and since I'm going to have to replace the belt anyways im going to replace the variator weights while I have the tools and have it tore down.I used to get a average crusing speed of about 50~ mph on this moped. Now I'm moving up to the mountains and want more revs for hauling my 260lb arse up these steep hills.
What is the stock weight rollers? I was looking at getting some 10GM from scrappydog. Whats the lightest you would recommend going on a 150? I want more takeoff power as its sluggish right now. It almost seems as if its got too heavy a weight on there right now.

You must of been really wrenching it down to strip a spark plug, and In would almost question your mechanical ability to even be fooling around with replacing a head; but mistakes happen. For future reference a spark plug has a crush washer, so once you get it snug its just another partial turn to lock it in to place. Were not torquing bolts that are holding a bridge up for christs sake, its al loo mini ium.(british accent)

Was making a left turn from a red light. Took off and someone came up my left side mid turn(they went in to the oncoming lanes) then swerved back in to my lane. I grabbed 2 handfuls of brake and they ended up just clipping the front of my scoot. I laid it over and landed on my ribs, cracking one or some of them. Bike got tore up a bit. Battery came out of the compartment landed a few feet away from me.The person in the car didnt even stop to see if I was ok, whilst I was laying in the middle of a 7 lane wide intersection.
Anywho, damage is done... Didnt even get a vehicle description; but hopefully karma will come back to them. Meanwhile I cant get any power to my bike. I reinstalled the battery and no power, no guages or anything. I hooked the battery up to a volt meter to see if somehow the wreck screwed it up. Then i tried connecting it to a spare battery and still im not getting any power.

I replaced the stock chinese fuel filter with a duralast one. See picture. My bike couldnt get enough fuel through that. I bypassed the petcock and connected the inlet side of filter straight to the line coming from tank. Lots of my vac lines look rotted so perhaps theres not enough vac pressure to operate it. Im going to get some 1/4 in tubing and replace it all. imgur.com/hvYGwrX

Mine doesnt have a connector on that side of the intake. Perhaps at one time the intake was replaced from a scooter that didnt have PAIR?

So where does that vac line that you highlited in my pic need to go? Ive looked all over and cant seem to figure it out. Im about to just pull all the plastics off to get a better look at this scoot.
It runs great 90% of the time, just sometimes seems to loose power uphill, and will stall when dumping full throttle turning right at an intersection, will cut out and misfire a bit.
The bike still can reach 9,000 rpm when at max crusing downhill and runs smooth.
