Question 1:
I own a 33cc gas scooter, can I install a 43cc motor on it?
Answer:
No, the motor mount on a 33cc gas scooter will not fit the 43cc motor.
Question 2:
Is it hard to convert a pull start gas scooter
into a electric start scooter? I just need to get an Electric Starter, right?
Answer: Yes, it's too expensive. You will need an Electric
Starter, Charging Jack, Battery, Gas Charger, Relay, etc. Electric start gas
scooter are only $30 to $50 more then the regular pull start gas scooter, why
spend all the time and money on converting it.
Question 3: If
I remove my stock muffler and get generic $15 to $20 muffler on eBay, will it
make my gas scooter less noisy?
Answer: Your
scooter will still make noise, it will just be 10% to 20% less noisy. However,
you would have voided your manufacturer's warranty.
Question 4: My
chain keeps flying off, what's wrong?
Answer: Your
chain could be too tight or too loose, or the chain is not aligned properly with
the rear sprocket. Use the Axel Adjuster to made the necessary corrections.
Question 5: I
have a hard time starting my engine, what might be wrong?
Answer:
-
A): Make sure your gas tank
has gas and you have pumped the carburetor primer bulb (clear plastic bubble
under the engine.)
-
B): Make sure your fuel line
has no kinks and the line in the gas tank reaches the gasoline.
-
C) Check the spark plug wire
for connection.
-
D) Check the fuel/oil ratio.
Too much motor oil in the mixture could clog the carburetor.
-
E) Make sure the kill switch
is not engaged. Sometimes, the kill switch is bad, so go to the bottom of
your scooter and unplug the kill switch wire, then try pull starting the
scooter.
-
F) If too many attempts have
been made to at starting the engine, there may be excessive fuel in the
cylinder. So, allow time or remove spark plug to allow fuel to evaporated
and then re-connect.
-
H) Pump the priming bulb
repeatedly at least 10 times and make sure you can see the fuel going in the
carburetor. Make sure you prime it at least 10 times before you pull start
it if it still wont start try the choke in the opposite direction again
priming it 10 times at least also give it a little gas while using the pull
start once the engine is broke in hold in the break and use the start button
make sure you have primed it 10 times and are giving it gas.
Question 5: My scooter
idles fast and doesn't run right.
Answer:
Look at where your choke switch is, inside there is a screw that has a spring on
it. That screw allows you to adjust the carburetor. Do a quarter of turn to see
if there is any improvement.
Questions 6: I adjusted
the carburetor like you told me, but it still doesn't run right.
Answer: It's probably
the carburetor mounting screws. The screws have likely loosened and the engine
is sucking in air beneath the carburetor, thereby running lean/fast. Take off
the air filter and check the screws mounting the carburetor. You may want to
remove the carburetor and the intake manifold completely and inspect and clean
the gaskets.
Question 7: My motor is
locked. I can pull start it, and try to turn the Motor gear sprocket but it
doesn't move.. What could be the cause.
Answer: The motor
could frozen or lock up, if someone put pure gasoline in the gas tank, with out
mixing 2-cycle motor oil in. Or a motor screw is loose, causing a part to block
the Motor Fan (Flywheel) from turning.
Question 8. Are the Motor
gear sprocket and the rear sprocket interchangeable between gas scooter.
Answer: No, Never.
Some gas scooter use the thick chain, so you need a thick motor gear sprocket
and thick rear sprocket. Some gas scooter use a thin chain, so you need a thin
motor gear sprocket and thin rear sprocket.
Question 9: What is the
difference from thick chains and the thin chains? Is one better than the other.
Answer: Yes, the
thick chains are better. They are less likely to pop off, even if your rear
sprocket is not aligned. The thick chain are also less likely to break.
Question 9: My
mini-Harley uses it's own unique Pull starter, where can I find one.
Answer: There is a
work around for this problem, you just need to change the
Starter Claw,
then you can use the generic gas scooter pull starter on your mini-Harley. The
same goes for the Ninja (X1) 49cc Pocket bike.
Question 10: The flywheel
on my 49cc Pocket bike keep breaking. What can I do?
Answer. You can weld
the flywheel, or buy a solid flywheel replacement from our company. These things
never break, the disadvantage with this solid flywheel is that, you can't push
your bike backwards, and you can't cruise after you let go of the throttle.
Question 11: The electric
start on my scooter does not work but the scooter works fine with the pull
start. What could be the cause of that?
Answer: Make sure
that the battery is fully charged. Usually the charger turns GREEN when it is
done charging. Make sure that you hold down on the break before you push the
electric start button. That should solve the problem.
