Yep, Hate that mirror. I had one. Two actually. I got rid of them and replaced them with a different type. Why? Because the design of them SUX major dog meat. You basically have to replace that section on the bars. Is it the brake mount one? Use an easy out and replace the whole mirror with a plain old style mirror. My wife is sitting here and she got after me for watching filthy videos because of the language. LOL Woops, I knew that i should have edited that thing. Yea i was thinking I would hack off the section that holds the mirror and weld a new one on or some other attachment. i have brakes on both handle bars. Thanks recommendation noted |

Nice language there Her-Yuk! I was kinda mildly stunned. Well not really. I was playing the video and my wife said RICHARD! I said "it's not me, it's Her-Yuk!" She said "Don't even try that!!" So thanks, now I'm in trouble!
That's gotta come off of there. Get a hack saw, maybe a mini hack saw but saw that bolt off of there. Then go to Lowes and get a bolt that will fit through there and put an aircraft nut on it. You know, a gonad that flies around the room.  . OK, that was horrible, I was just trying to swear like Her-Yuk. I failed, I'm sorry. Rich Oops Forgot the foul Lang warning. Won't happen again. Even if my wife has a bigger krank  . Thanks I'm doing that 1st thing in the AM |

Can you get us a pic? It sounds like the crankcase vapor waste tube. It should have a plug in it and it needs to be emptied once in a while. See if a hose from the valve cover comes up and hooks onto your airbox.
I'm thinking you have a fuel delivery problem. I would have said it was your vent but you did the gas cap loosening test. Have you set the valves? You need to get that off of the table. Then I'd change the fuel filter and see what happens. The fuel vac valve might be bad, we'll check that after the fuel filter. Rich I do have that hose and I have visually inspected it. It passed the noob inspection. Will be setting the valves tomorrow I think. Do you guys have a decent video for tat procedure? |

Sorry poop,
The screw without a head I was referring to was a screw connected to the spark plug cap. I was trying to figure out how to get that off of the spark plug. I havnt the balls yet to try and take the carb off since I need to be able to ride the next day.
I will be adjusting the valves some time soon so I will find out if that is the case with mine soon. All i need are those flat strips of metal to adjust the valves right? calipers i believe? and since I will be in there what is that wire tool called that is used to clean the jets?

Like dremel a flat head groove into it you mean? and after I do that it that screw just used for adjustments or accessing the jets?
and how could you tell I have a plugged carb?

what are your Recommendations on repairing this? I have used penetrating oil and have not been able to budge the screw into the whole. Right now the only thing keeping the mirror from freely twirling like a kids toy is the black cloth i wrapped around the bolt.

wow! lol!
i couldnt get my camera into the tiny crevice to film the lil'ol screw. the engine had plastic shielding around it blocking access a bit. Should I take that shield off?
That screw has no head. Should i just grab it with a pliers?

yes the idle screw.my dad used to call it the governor when we used to have a go kart as children.I adjusted according to my engine and muffler sounds. to the left when it pop during acceleration and to the right during deceleration.I didn't adjust it according to How it Road. at one point it was only going up to 2000 rpms but now my max is about 5000 rpms and 40 miles an hour. I see some places say it should idle at 1500 and some places 2000 but I am leaning towards 1500rpms.I'm sure you would agree.
I haven't touched the valve stems are opened up the carburetor top or any of that stuff. I'm a bit hesitant to.I did attempt removing the spark plug but when I removed it the wire that is I was expecting to see the butt of a spark plug but instead so what appeared to be a long screw end. about the size of the bashans krank. I figured the wire that goes over the top of the spark plug may be defective and just put it back on that was the end of that.
I actually took some videos but I can't find my connect cables and my youtube app on this phone is acting weird but I'll have some up later

Hows your progress coming heruk. Havn't posted in a while. I added and on and off switch from my alarm system so my battery no longer drains and I've also purchased a new blinker module and all that is taken care of but now I'm still getting the popping on deceleration and my scooter is stalling upon 50% throttle |

my stalling problem started out as a light issue whenever I filled up the gas tank to just under the fill bar. after changing the oil I noticed that my bike was stalling even more whenever I hit full throttle.I've cracked the gas tank no improvement. I've also adjusted the governor on the carburetor and now it will just stall out of idle.there was a big temperature change today and the environment is a lot colder and so I screwed in the carburetor governor thingy the idle screw to the point where it will at least Idol without shutting off.
but if I let it idle for 5 minutes It will eventualy shut off.I'm scared to take it on the road now because at first it was only at a full throttle that it would shut off and stall. now whenever I go uphill or give it 50% it will stall. if I let go of the throttle completely it will either idle or stall out.
it backfires on the deceleration so I figured it was running lean and I adjust the carburetor to run richer but I'm not sure what the deal is.
I actually noticed the problem starting when I switch from high grade gas to mid grade gas in order to get rid of backfires on deceleration.
