I have to compliment you on your persistence. After you charge the battery and test for a spark. If you get a good blue spark, replace the plug as per Alley's instructions and try to start. If it does not start. Pull the vacuum hose that goes to the petcock off at the intake near carburetor and squirt about a teaspoon of gas in the intake, replace the vacuum hose and try to start.

The magnum 300R is 48 inches wide and 95 inches long. The Mojo 50 isn't much smaller It is 42 inches wide and 80 inches long. Garage space is not a problem. my garage is 12 x 24 feet.

If I understand this right. The thingee you are referring to is a black plastic engine cover, known as a cowl. It is for engine cooling and has nothing to do with compression. Did you Test the new petcock now that you have fuel in the tank? Sometimes even new ones are bad. If it is good You should Make sure the float bowl on carburetor is full. Apply a vacuum to the petcock for a short period to let the bowl fill up.
Check for spark. Hold the plug on the valve cover of engine and crank it over.

This is my theory. I'd have a 50 for short rides. A 150 for medium rides. and a 300 for long rides. All of them fun to tinker on. Bashan I would love a burgy, but they are not a true trike. Kevinharrell, If I had something like that I would have to take some really long rides.  I was recently at a harley dealer and looked at a few street glide trikes. I almost dumped 18 grand on one. It was nice. But in the back of my mind I kept thinking about how many scoots I could buy for that kind of money. Roy |

I buddy of mine had came over today to get some things from me. We walked into my garage and he was surprised to see that I had two trikes. We started B.S'n. about them and he asked "How many sizes are there?" I told him I have a 50 and a 300 but not a 150. He laughed and said "you should get a 150 to complete the set." So I have been pondering this and am thinking seriously about it. Should I complete the set?

I have to compliment your on your ingenuity of the "rubber hammer", good thinking. 1) The goopy stuff is grease, a little bit on the gears is good a lot is bad. 2) It's probably not necessary to clean it out, but since you got it open might as well. 3) The little starter gear is behind part of the gasket. Here is a photo of mine.  With the bendix removed.  I used a razor knife to remove some of the gasket so you can see the gear.  4) Yes the bendix will come out like that. You will need to finesse it a little. It will be easier if you trim the gasket off first. Sorry I have to go. But will answer the rest of your questions later. hope this helped a little. Roy |

I have been building small engines of various types and horse power for many years now. This whole time I was taught an engine needs to breath to create more horse power. This is why on race motors they use bigger valves larger headers and no mufflers. So why is it many people say a 4 stroke scooter engine needs back pressure to run properly? I'm just trying to figure some reasoning behind this theory.

Yes you need a plug in it. You are not creating a vacuum at the intake because it is drawing the air in through the plug hole.

Hey alley, You got that rocket ship to lift off yet? I use those at work I also use helicoil and some different brands I can't remember. some times the holes are so stripped I don't even need to drill it out, just need to tap it and thread in insert.

Thanks Bashan, I wouldn't know what I was talking about if it wasn't for the help from all of you that really know what you are talking about. Roy |

I don't see a photo of the left side of scooter (the cvt side). I agree with alley, she should not need to remove body panels to open up the cvt.

Sounds like a solid plan. But I would do a full P.D.I.. Remove all plastic, check all electrical connections and wires especially where they are zip tied to the frame. pinched and broken wires are a pain to find and diagnose. Check hoses for pinching and tight connection, I recommend changing them and fuel filter. Check all nuts and bolts for tightness. use blue lock tight on main bolts and nuts. Also I would replace engine oil, gear case oil, and brake fluid first, then run 10-15 miles and change engine oil again. But that is just me. Use clear silicon on screws when replacing plastic. This is just a quick reply. check out the how to do a proper p.d.i thread.

Don't think I'd get one of them. I'm an old fashioned kind of guy and like traditional trikes. But if I was going to fork out that kind of money for a reverse trike I would find a good deal on a spyder.

Sprocket, yes I finally got the E.F.I. working and it runs great. Putting a 250 in it would be fun, but so is tweaking out a 50.
