If you are talking about the actual 12 volt starter motor, the answer is no. If you are referring to the Starter Clutch area, then yes that must have oil.

speedracer, it appears to me the enricher photos are swapped around. The first photo looks like the warm enricher, the second looks like the cold enricher, it does appear to be operating. I really believe your only problem is as everyone has said, adjust your valve clearances. I have had the same symptoms as you have on my wifes 54B, the valve adjustment solves it. Another thought is that the enricher turns off too soon, it gets hot but the engine has not warmed up enough. I added an off and on switch to the enricher so I can control its use. Also a fuel Primer Pump to inject a squirt of fuel into the intake valve area. This works great. But Valves still must be set correctly.  |

If you are replacing a bearing, be wise and select top quality bearing, when we first started getting these Chinese scooters, part of the suggested PDI was to change the Wheel bearings. Sure enough when I removed one bearing it was real loose.

Hey guys, you do need the model specified as Universal. I love mine, have it installed on both scooters. The wife never uses hers, 16 yrs younger than I so maybe she is stronger. I do use mine to take the pressure off of me having to keep the throttle twisted. you can rest your hand on it and easily flip it off or twist it off. It is adjustable for how strong it holds. I have used this model for about 30 years on various MC's. Depending on your throttle type you might need to modify it to attach to the throttle cable. I had to trim away some of the grip rubber in order for it to operate smoothly.  |

Great info, both of my 257cc scooters have never been able to run over 65 mph wide open. I will need to look at my carb diaphragm. I could use more speed. If I remember correctly you also drilled a small hole in the top of your gas cap to prevent a fuel tank vacuum lock. Adios

Did you look at the fuel filter, you may have more than one, be sure you have a clean, new filter mounted in the correct direction. Also It is possible the fuel cap is not allowing proper venting and can cause a vacuum in the tank. Try riding with the fuel cap loose or off. When this happens immediately stop and check the bowl drain, open it to see if fuel runs out from the Carb Bowl.

speedracer, you are lucky, you must have the only 54B made that is right on, this is a first. All of them have been off 8-10%. mikecop, The most accurate thing on the scooter is the tachometer. At 5 Krpm you are doing close to 50 mph, This is true only once you have the scooter cruising and in its highest cvt ratio. You can mount a bicycle electronic computer, speedo unit for about $20 that is adjustable and very accurate. The Sigma 506 is cheap and works fine, do not use the Schwinn, it only works up to 50 mph. The Chinese speedometer is not adjustable.

damin69, I was able to find the part and part number, I really don't know what it does, It is called "Joint Oil Channel" part number 152m1-040011, I think it must be needed or it would not be there. You can see this on this manual, I could not find it on any of our Forum Manuals, Look here, site.scootertronics.com/CF250.pdfthis manual has good detail, Sorry Jr and others, I could not find it on our manuals. |

Take a picture of where it came from, a close up, this might be part of the oil pump assy. Get a good picture, Were all the parts shown here with the part in question?

You will have to tear it down and hopefully only need to have the cylinder honed back to smooth and then add the next size over size ring set. Either case there is no quick fix. Sorry for your troubles.

jrran, thetucks, thanks, those pictures are the ones I took a couple of years ago when you were helping me find my intermittent start and not start problem. I'm glad I took them and they can be of use. We found 2 loose connectors and the brake light socket crumbled and shorting out sometimes, oh and the boot, carb to intake hose loose. No problems since then. thetucks, the bike computer I use is the Sigma BC506. You might want to get one with more features, it works great.
I tried the Schwinn first and it only worked up to 50 mph, so steer clear. The setting you will need to calculate, that was too long ago, i don't remember. Measure the distance around your tire and follow the directions. You will have to mount the sensor and magnet wherever it makes you happy, mine does not look very good. Adios.
