I just want to do dank woolies on one.

A great rally put on by Middle of Nowhere scooter club.

Not a buddy, but there is a cabo in there (we own both). The quasi knobbie tire DID allow us to move in the snow, not great, but we did go anywhere we wanted.

Shrinky Dink begins tonight and runs till March 20th.

viney266

Yes, Carbs work just fine. Now, if we could get the E10 OUT of the fuel..then we wouldn't have so many problems.

viney266

I have had several come thru with paint flakes clogging the fuel filter. Make sure to check there as well.

viney266

Stella still has the "look". She may not be as reliable as the buddy or Hooligan, but she sure is fun to ride.

viney266

We held our 3rd annual scooter jousting event.

The Genuine scooters are delivered with dry batteries. We fill them and activate them when someone buys a bike. So, they are new and fresh.

Sometimes you get a bad one.

Do you use a battery tender of some sort? You should.

viney266

I don't know if there is one in York specifically.

There were over 1,000 Harleys, a handful of other bikes. And four awesome guys on two-stroke scooters :) We had a P200, a Stella, a 64 Vespa, and a Lammy. It was awesome; we got all kinds of cheers from the crowd; they loved it. https://carlislecycleandscooter.blogspot.com/2017/10/york-bike-night.html

viney266

On a stella? Yeah, if you take you time and watch where you go.

A pair of RH50's, two stella sidecars, a vespa 150, and another stella. All spending three days climbing the mountains of PA.

I really am digging the kick. Everyone is curious about the top speed.

I love the underseat storage, if I wasn't 6'3" I may own one.

Another great time by the Middle of Nowhere scooter club. We went, we had a blast, and they had a GREAT gymkhana. It was raining so my pics of the gymkhana are just basic, but it was fun!

Look under the front headlight cover...I think

viney266

The results are in.

Be sure to watch/participate next year!

viney266

Orrrr, just replace the petcock, they don't cost much, and sometimes they do go bad. They don't like E10 fuel too much. It can be changed without removing the tank from underneath.

However, I haven't seen one fail that was less than 8 or 10 years old. Not saying it isn't possible.

viney266

quit messing with a tool ment for another job and buy one of these http://www.mactools.com/en-us/Battery-and-Radiator/Cooling-System-Hand-Tools/75b4e1c1-2de9-498a-9f0f-a575010f0ac0/Hose-Pinch-Off-Pliers/HCP554/Mini-Hose-Pinch-Off-Pliers#Default=%7B%22k%22%3A%22hcp%20554*%22%2C%22o%22%3A%5B%7B%22d%22...

Free trade would be a glorious thing. No government interference in business...A boy can dream.

viney266

When dealers gripe about government overreaching with their B.S.. This is what we are talking about.

Do you mean the Shrinky Dink?

The event is up and running, we only have about 10 riders, join in. Post rides on the FB page here.

Possibly the most boring thing I have ever seen. No offense, but just drive the car then.

Besides, as a mechanic? I AM NOT touching that mess. no way.

viney266

It begins TODAY!

viney266

Had a customer years ago break the plastic vanes off the fan on his rattler 100. It popped the head gasket due to head ( older man, hard of hearing ). It was an easy fix and he is still riding it.

viney266

Yeah, plugs are disposable things on small hard-running two-strokes. You guys are on the right track running good oil. I bored dirt bikes cylinders for many years as part of my job. The quality of oil made a huge difference. The Spectro does really well for me.

viney266

Nice to see you out! Two wheels is possible, but you better have a lot of dirt bike experience. I had my daughters Cabo 150 out in the snow this morning. Its sketchy on two wheels when it's slick. It needs a more aggressive tire on the rear to get the job done. I was managing 20-30 MPH on the back r...

viney266

a bit of fuel blowing out the top of the stock carb is normal if the air filter is off.
just FYI

viney266

NUMBER 4 starts Dec. 21.

http://carlislecycleandscooter.blogspot ... er-21.html

viney266

The engine/ rear wheel assembly comes out REALLY easy. I would just do it that way, then slide it back in. Just sit bike on a bucket while working on engine out.

viney266

yes, it would run, be grumpy to start and slow, but it will run.

viney266

After reading your post. Are you keeping white walls? If so, you have many less choices.

I heard the Prima was wearing okay. Did it rub the clutch cover?

viney266

The Shinko is a good cheap tire, but they have never been known for their longevity, but the price is right ( I have them on my 50 ). I run the Michelins and get "decent" life on the sidecar, better than the shinko, but that bike still eats them . I got 2200 on the last one.

viney266

I run Spectro golden 2T scooter oil in mine, but The Motul or SI-7 are my fallback choices. Good stuff.

I bored 2 stroke cylinders as part of my job for over 20 years. NEVER go cheap on the 2T oil. The good stuff really is worth it.

viney266

Everything they have made for me has been top notch as well. I love my scooter cape for winter!

viney266

Glad to hear it. It was a good time.

viney266

Sadly, most of the video didn't turn out well. A GREAT time with a great use of crappy chinascoots

http://carlislecycleandscooter.blogspot ... ake-2.html

viney266

I have one with a 70 kit with stock pipe and carb and I love it. Just about perfect. It pulls nice everywhere and rolls at 45-50 anywhere I ask it to.

viney266

Did anyone think to try a local scooter/ bike shop? Very common plug.

viney266

Mine eats them too. It's normal. I have built 5 sidecar rigs for Stellas and they are all hard on rear tires. But, look at the good side. The sidecar tire will last forever

Try a different brand of tire. That is the best you can do. What are you running now?

viney266

PIAA HS1 halogen replacement. BEST bulb I have found.

viney266

fixed? Hole in the line?

viney266

Yup, sure is. Use a flashlight, open the gas cap and shine the light in there. give the little black float on the wire a flick. BE GENTLE. no naked lights ( open flame)

viney266

Try some K100 fuel stabilizer/ cleaner. It works WAY better than seafoam or star tron.

I have seen a Stellauto with a dirty fuel filter. It was clogged with what looked like paint chips. Have the dealer check it/ replace it.

viney266

Yep, 197 works just fine.

viney266

Make sure the hub nut isn't lose.

viney266

well, this settles it.
