I cleaned my air filter by hand then, spin cycled it the washer, let it dry. Oiled it, squeezed it out, spin cycled it again, wiped the oil off the side of the washer tub, ran the washer empty with soap.

...wow...coool...i reckon it was clean!....
;D
peace

A little gas, and oil is fine. It will get dirty again.
-
..i think they need a lil gas and oil to work right....
..what was that post about the vapor cloud that surrounds the carburetor intake....
..where was that.... ???
-
I have 2 old Hondas that make a stream of fuel out of he intake. Most carbs will create vapor or ice from the natural air flow
-
...reckon that stream of fuel is quite desirable??
-
One of them is a '78. The other is an '82. If they drip fuel????? They still run!
-
I think it's a two stroke thing. When the reeds slam shut it stops the inward flow and creates a back up. Both my Zx and my Vento do it too.

..i had a cpl of cars like that in my time....one was an old black 61 ford galaxy..3-speed on th' column....everybody called it the batmobile....

...dem 2-strokes is some funny creatures, so they are...
;D

It just may be a Slam shut type of deal. Never thought about it. WHATS SHAKIN SHAKA?? How's the Vento Doing? Fill Us in BRO!

I haven't done much with the Vento. I got it running well enough to get me to and from work while waiting for my new tires on the ZX. It actually seems to run fairly well. I need to tune the transmission for the new Technigas pipe I put on. It seems to take off fairly quickly then bog out through the mid-range and pick back up when it gets into the pipe. It seems to run pretty fast top speed though! It pegs the speedo at 50mph pretty easily, not sure how accurate it is, but it almost feels as fast as my ZX! I still need to try and pull the air/fuel screw out of the carb, I think the mix needs some fine tuning. Zombie, I think you are right about the spring beneath it binding. I think I straightened out the crown from where it was bent, the bouncing at high speed is much better! It still bounces a bit, but it seems to be more of a resonance issue (possibly the front wheel not balanced) now because it only happens between about 30-40mph then it stops. I'm attributing it to being a lower quality Chinese frame, my Kymco is rock solid stable at speed! Otherwise, it's rideable, now I just need body panels and a headlight! I'm currently using my rechargeable bicycle headlight system which works really well!

It's really nice to have a second scooter. Just sorta breaks the monotony. It would sure suck if it wound up being faster than the
It is good to here bro! It would sure suck if it wound up being faster than the ZX!

I recently bought a 2005 people 50 2t and I am in doing some simple maintenance (I'll have to post pics soon). What oil do you use for the filter?? All I got around my garage is 5W-30.
