zx50 / Re: Running rich - any input would be appreciated
« on: May 12, 2011, 02:44:41 PM »
Thanks for getting back to me. Much appreciated.

I currently have everything torn apart and cleaning it. There was a lot of dirt/oil/grease build up every where. I hope to have it all put back together Sunday, weather permitting. I did see a lot of carbon buildup on the exhaust. I cleaned out the carbon on the cylinder exhaust and going to to order a new exhaust. The one I have is pretty rusted and I'm sure has a lot of build up on the inside. Calling around it will take a while it get here. Any recommendations on where to get parts other than the local Kymco dealer?

I also want to look to see what all other parts should be replaced. I do have a new spark plug for it. So for now I am going to clean it up and put it back together.

Again my appreciation for the feed back.

Is this normal? Or something I should look at as possibly broke?

Update:

Just took the reed valve apart. Everything appears fine. No damage everything shiny.

zx50 / Running rich - any input would be appreciated

Hello all,

Looking for a little help. New to the forums. Picked up a ZX 50 two years ago and has ran well up till now. I know that it is running rich. You can smell the gas starting. Hard to start. After it does start, it sputters till it warms up. Going to clean the air filter first. Pulled the spark plug and it is fouled. Completely covered with oil can carbon. I've never dealt with a carburetor before so any help tuning would be appreciated. Is there anything else I need to look at and adjust?

Thanks for any help.

Update
Ok, cleaned out the air filter and it was dripping with oil. The oil was blue in color just like the 2 cycle synthetic I use. It also smelled of gas. How could oil and gas be coming back out into the air filter?

zx50 / They cut through my chain - How to prevent theft in the future?
« on: May 07, 2011, 06:09:12 AM »
Hello everyone,

Looking for a little input. Tonight I almost had my zx50 stolen. I fell asleep on the couch only to be woken by the sound the my thick ongaurd chain hitting the ground. I opened my front door to see two guys starting to push away my scooter.

They broke the steering lock mechanism. (any notes of fixing this)

How does everyone else lock up their scooters?  I thought I was safe with my Mastiff series chain and lock connected to the Kryptonite Stronghold Above-Ground Anchor. But apparently not, because I could smell hydraulic fluid where I lock up my scooter. They cut through the chain and being sneaky took the cut link to make it look like I didn't have it locked up. >:(

Does anyone know if anyone has had their scooter stolen using the brake disc locks? Are they any better?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
