150 4T 22mm carb worth the $$?
Tasso has a 22mm carb offered for the 125/150 4T. What advantages might there be? Disadvantages? It runs around $50 less shipping. I am wondering if it is a worthwhile upgrade.

Hi Guys, Just my two cents about TUPP/Scooterpaint. I ordered the blue and glosscoat to match my Stella, and painted the wheel rims last summer. The match was perfect. Expensive yes, but perfect color match, also yes. Ease of use: I prepped the parts according to the instructions and painted in my b...

Oh yeah, I have a set of FIAMM airhorns mounted that need a compressor. My Stella already has a Tasso CDI, ...

I ordered TUPP paints for my rims. They are a two part color and clear overcoat. To simplify things (and because I was too lazy to clean the rims) I bought new rims, sanded them lightly, then gave them a quick wipe down with naptha, and painted them. I am quite please with them, but the paint did co...

I think I left the breather on... You need something there, even if it simply drains behind the wheel.

OK, so I finally had time to convert the last two spots, I was worried these would be harder to convert, as the bulbs on the Notek lights are held in with three little screws. In fact. they were easier: a few notches added to the H3 bulb base with a triangle and mini round file and I was all set: ht...

I never changed scoot tires before, and did my own last summer. 1.5 hours sounds high to me based on my experience. As others have said, yes, there is a paper filter in addition to the screen, it is on the other side of the motor. I have changed it myself. It is not difficult to do. As for the tubes...

OK, so this morning I finally screwed up the courage to install the toggle switches. Why all the angst? Because I would have to drill holes in the glove box to mount them.

Although everything looked good, there was no way to know until everything was assembled, and I cold test the results with a 9 volt battery:

Note the skirt. http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/uu49/slotrod65/005_zpsea33nj1k.jpg It appears I was too smart for my own good: The skirt in the H3 bulb is too small for the mount on the spotlight. http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/uu49/s...
