The last time I saw that my truck needed the wiring harness on the motor replaced.  It had sat for three months in the spring. |

Yes my lil' Martian Friend. That is the kind of thing I wish to do but, I haven't used it in many years. I trust the friends here to give an honest, though sometimes jocular, answer. Not so at other establishments, were I wish to use it.

I used to know how to do this but had to drop it on a couple sites and old age is catching up. I want to post a link to a site but not post the actual link. This seems to frighten some were I'm at lately. How do you just post a word or words instead of an internet address. Not as important but I'd also like to know how to Cut-n-Paste a printed article but most won't let you do so without the entire page, including advertisements, and pictures. Just trying to play there silly/sick game and not let them know were it comes from. Thanks in advance. |

I've been busy job hunting and haven't kept up. So first, I hope your back has improved. And then I sure do hope you can get that little beasty working right soon. It's getting to be summer here.
I wish I could be of help but I've never had a scooter so I'm lost as well.

WOW! Just yesterday I was in Wally World and went to garden to buy charcoal. One of those was hanging there and the first thing I thought of was for the scooter when I get to have one. I have one ounce syringes for smaller jobs but this look like something I may need.

What kind of engine do you have? The set-up instructions state it's for a 2 or 4 cylinder engine.

The brown bag looks like a Mud Dabbers nest. I have seen the water filled bags work on flies but have never seen coins in them. I will have to give that a try this summer. I have a lot of flies on my apartments windows. As far as the moles they are attracted to the worms in the soil. You must eliminate the worms.

Great looking collection. It looks like you had some fun and still are. I don't think I'll be trying airplanes again. Living in an apartment now so I will have to stick with the model rail roading.  That's already $750 and still no layout. The DCC controls aren't shown. |

You are correct the color combo was popular. My '65 Volks Wagen Type 1 (Beatle)(Bug) had the Tawny Beige body with the Cadillac Rose fenders and interior materials.

What I see as even big issue than the zip ties is the use of ONE screw in the back to raise it up. This will lead to that board splitting in half length wise. He needs another piece of wood mounted with glue and screws it's grain in the opposite direction to elevate the back end and then more zip ties to hold the back end down. And then just as important to seal the boards with paint or varnish.
Of course this will double the cost but, it is very very important.

I'm not familiar with them scooters yet. Most of my motorcycle had there wiring out in the open. Even the '98 Honda Magna had unusually simple wiring. The only one that was easier was the '47 Harley with magneto ignition.
It's probably part of a printed circuit board anyway.

Is it easy to see if it's wired and where the wires go to?
