Cheers alley , the vac is on a t with the peacock so that's easy enough, I'll try removing it all again today , yesterday when I tried it just bogged , but I didn't block the air box , bloody Chinese bikes , she's got a Suzuki ap50 scooter and that goes like a rocket , the only issue with it is the rust on it and the plastics are fubard . But it is a 1995 . That does 43 mph uphill standard .

I've just checked all the cables and all of the adjusters are as closed as they can be.

Ok , first I'll give you some background, I bought this as spars or repair. It had a 70c barrel and piston which I took out and put it back to 50cc , got it running and finally got round to insuring my daughter and getting her on the road . It's a 2008 btw. 

Ok here's the issue. It ticked over sweet as a nut but as soon and you moved the throttle it died . There was a loose breather hose laying on top of the engine and I noticed that the place it should have been had snapped off . Repaired that and now it will at least accelerate . Now , the bloody this smokes like a train, and I mean bad ,  I've fitted a new oil pump as the old one was faulty (the cable holder had snapped off) , and , it's absolutely gutless . I'm not expecting it to break the speed record but it'll make 30 (mph) down hill and you are lucky to hit 15 up hill , 20 on the flat . There has to be something wrong here somewhere , it's a long time since I've worked on 2 stokers . Is this restricted ? Can it be de restricted to make it rideable , it's not rideable at all at the min what with the smoke and the lack of power . It's got a weird valve thing connected to the exhaust that goes to a breather pipe that's connect to a vac system , what's that ? 

Any nay help would be very gratefully received .


cheers

Aww to heck with it I'll stick with the dc wiring , much less Argo ..lol

Eureka . I now have voltage from the yellow wire, the lighting circuit on the stator was faulty . I've replaced the stator with one from a yammy , and not I have voltage from the yellow. Can you tell me what to do with the the pink to stop bulbs blowing please mate , do I just join it to the yellow ? 

All I can add is take a pillow to sit on 2100 miles ain't going to be comfortable on a small bike , how many miles are you planning on doing per day ?? You are also going to need to take a load of spares with you , you seriously don't want to get stranded out there, definitely get a puncture repair kit , spare bulbs , spark plug , all the stuff you think could go wrong, also try and plan the route via gas stations , if you drop the bike ( so easy to do after riding for hours and hours) and split your spare can you're gonna be knackered if the gas station is miles away . I've done a lot of long distance touring over the years and know from experience that small bikes just aren't designed for it so plan and prepare properly. We are planning a trip to Bosnia this year from the uk , about 2400 miles return trip , starting in dover , then Calais in France , then Luxembourg , then Germany , on to Slovenia, then Croatia , then Bosnia . Mighty hard work but , the experience is worth every mile , we will be doing it on 1200cc bikes though . Good luck bro !!

It's not the plastic body you have to worry about fella , it's all the rest . I hate leaving any of my bikes out in the weather but some times it's inevitable , I only have room in the shed for one, within a day the brake discs are starting to rust , the screw heads are all starting to rust , there are water spots all over and it just looks a total mess. With a scooter , the rain hits the floor and bounces up under the plastic and before long it'll start to rot the metal . Especially if it's a Chinese bike . Keep it covered mate and make sure you cover it properly too !!
