Thanks Alleyoop, glad I didn't buy it then. Can you link me to a site with the best deal?
Thanks
edit: found a good one for about $30 shipped.
edit2: What weights should I get? 7g, 8g, 9g, 10g, 11g, 12g, 13g, 14g, 15g, 16g, 17g, 18g? I have a MC-13-150 scoot. I weigh 150 if that matters.
edit3: Took my variator off and weighed my current weights. They were 13g. I ended up ordering a new variator with 12g weights. I'm fine with losing a bit of top end in exchange for better acceleration.

Something I just thought of while I'm at work: There's supposed to be three little rubber guides on one of the variator parts right? If I remember right, those aren't on for my variator. That's probably the cause of the rattling I'm getting, could it also cause the vibration?
Also, do you know a place I can order a good belt? I'm pretty sure that I have the original belt on and it's almost at 4000 miles.
Thanks Allyoop, you've been a great help.

Is there a way to narrow it down to the belt, variator, or driven pulley?

Unfortunately I don't have a tach on my scoot. What it sounds like is that the engine is at a constant rate when I'm going a constant speed. My rpms sound steady, not going up and down. The vibration must be something else that just pulses when I'm at cruising speed.

It actually feels fine when starting off, but when I'm cruising at the speed limit, I get this pulsating vibration. When I let off the gas to slow down, the vibration completely stops.
I'll check out the front brake setup tonight, thanks!

Hey everyone, thanks for all the help you've given me. I've found the source of the problem with my scoot. At least two vacuum lines that go to the carb where completely broken. After I fixed that it runs quite smooth for as long as the tank will take me. I adjusted the valves and it sounded a bit smoother after that as well. I'm still having the key switch/kill switch problem. But it's not a really big deal right now for me to fix it. At the moment, my biggest problems are two things: -Some kind of vibration when I'm giving it some gas, it stops when I coast. -When I hit the front brake, my scoot really shudders, and isn't a smooth break like the back break is.
Any solutions to those little problems?

Thanks I'll check that tomorrow. I'll also go through that video and do those tests. What happened today was I was driving it all over the place just fine, it didn't die on me at all, then I stopped at a store and then it wouldn't start at all, the battery was dead.
Also, the key switch doesn't kill the bike when I turn it off, I have a schematic that's looking like that that's a normal thing to do and to use the kill switch to actually turn it off.

Getting 45-50v to the CDI from the Stator (too much voltage?) No voltage from the Stator to the Regulator. I'm assuming the Stator is bad. Is there any other way to test it?
Also, I adjusted my valves and it seems to run a bit better.

What do I adjust my valves to? Also, is there any possibility of it being my fuel pump/filter?

Hi guys, I have a chinese 150cc scoot. Jonway 150T-2/Bali 150/whatever countless scooters use the GY6 engine.
The problem I'm having is that it will randomly die on me while I'm riding it. I can start it up and idle it for seemingly forever, but if I take it around the block a few times, it will die on me once or twice.
Bonus question: My scoot doesn't shut off if I turn the key off. I can even take the key out and it will still run. The only way it shuts off is from the kill switch, is this a problem?
Thanks everyone!

Okay I'll do that. Can you tell me what exactly makes it useless? And thanks again for your help.

Hi everyone, thank you so much for your help. Guitarman, what will throwing it out do to help it run better? And thanks Bashan for the diagrams. Alleypoop I appreciate you finding that part for me, I looked all over for it and couldn't find anything.

Hello guys, I'm new here and I didn't know how to search the forums to answer my particular question. I'm fixing up my scoot right now and I'm wondering what these this black thing does, and if it's hooked up right. Also there is this piece: It appears to be for my brake lever on the left hand side to turn my lights on when I pull the lever. Does anyone know where I can buy a new one? I've looked all over. Thanks for you help. Ps. I don't know how to resize images here, sorry if these are too big.
