It does have a sort of appealing look to it. Probably because it is different from the other 3 wheelers. It seems to have an ATV front appearance. The 150cc makes no sense on any of these
3 wheelers. Why not just go ahead and design it for the 244 or 257cc engine. The sales would be much higher with a larger engin. It's cute but not what I could use. More engine is better.

bashan, this is a really good job documenting this Clutch project, I'm a Manufacturing Engineer and this matches the best of the many projects I have worked on, Great job, I assume this same process applies to all of the centrifugal Clutches. Have a Great Christmas and prosperous new year.

The amount of tension is adjustable, for my Vog and 54B I had to use the universal model, As I said you will need to trim some of the twist grip away where it meets the controls housing. I only use it occasionally to rest my grip.

Yes guys he will need to pull the axle out of the left fork tube and then rotate the lower leg of the tube. The reason is he has the fork with the axle mounted on a stud in front of the tube, not in the center/bottom. The tube is blocking access to the screw that retains the speedo cable. He probably has it figured out by now. Adios

Oh, I did not do the version you are doing to set the intake valve. I removed the seat, the bucket under the seat and possibly something else up top to gain easy access to the intake valve. The previous statement I made was to adjust the lower exhaust valve.

I did all of my adjustments with the left side lower panel removed and the cut and removed bottom skid plate. Yes it is very hard to do. I did bend the feeler gauge to get the angle I needed. This is not a project you will want to do often. A lot of dexterity is required. Good luck.

brnd...Yes the axle bolt still in the wheel and right shock will hold the scooter up. What I have done is to put the scooter on the center stand, if you remove the front axle from the wheel the weight of the scooter should shift to the rear and the rear wheel will touch the ground, the front will not drop forward and down. To test this have a second person with you to press down on the rear as you remove the front wheel. On my wifes 54b I placed heavy weight in the tour box to be sure it kept the rear down and the front up.

Yes I need to do that, I have been removing the seat and upper parts to gain access to the intake valve.

speedracer, I used a dremel tool to cut the bottom skid plate completely across. removed it to allow access from the bottom. with the lower side panel removed I am able to lay down and reach in through the side to remove the valve cover. One hand through the side and one hand through the bottom to do the adjustment. It still is not easy. I hate doing it and it usually takes me 4 hrs total from start to stop. Good luck

No you can use either mark. What I was explaining was that the reason there are 2 marks is when the engine is disassembled it has to be put back together by first aligning the flywheel mark and then installing the timing chain on the sprocket with the cam timing mark aligned. Both marks must be in alignment at the same time or the engine will not run or damage will happen. Which ever mark you use be sure the piston is at top dead center.

I believe the two marks must be aligned when the chain is being replaced. That is to be sure the flywheel and cam are in time.

Its gear does mesh with a gear that in the engine case sits in oil, if the starter shaft o-ring is bad then oil can get inside the motor. Thats my best guess.
