The Super 8 2-Stroke is the same engine as the Super 9 (Non-LC).  Any exhaust that will fit the Super 9 will work for that as well.

I had to put the big nut on the clutch in a vise and turn the cltuch itself with a strap wrench.  it was tough, but it worked.

I tried a Yellow (1500) spring in my Agility 50, and it was too much, I lost a bout 5 miles off the top end that I couldn't get back.
Also, I installed a Open Air filter on my agility and Started jetting with a 98, which I figured would be rich, and burnt up my exhaust valve.

Good luck!

Exhaust didn't fit, cdi wrong?  sounds like you need to find a new supplier.  Who did you say you were ordering from anyway?

I thought about the cameras when it happened, but didn't want to leave the scoot alone again to go back inside.  Plus, I've done a bit of loss prevention work and installed CCTV systems before, and the chances of finding who did it are slim anyway, even if they utilize high res cameras.  With having to screw with the police and all, I didn't think it would be worth it.  Not with the small amount of damage that was done anyway.

This is the second time I've had a scooter vandalized.  Last time they pushed over my Metropolitan and kicked in the fender and the underseat bucket, slashed the tires, broke my gas cap cover and broke off my rear brake handle.  The cops then didn't care and assumed I was only getting a police report for insurance purposes.  They made it clear they couldn't/wouldn't do anything.

This isn't new to me, I'm just glad that what happened is ALL that happened.

Only thing I can figure is they couldn't steal it so they pushed it over.  Jealous bastards.  Go buy your own Scooter!

What I assume happened to dirtyd was he was running rich all along, until he swapped the air filter. Running slightly lean would heat, and dislodge all that carbon on the dome, and valves. In a way it may have been what stopped him from doing any real damage.

I believe your are correct as well.  The thing is, word says his derestrict jet was 85, and this only had an 82!  The stock was 80 in mine, and thinking how scoots are usually jetted lean for emissions when they are new, I wouldn't have thought the 82 would be rich, but more like where I should be. 

Thats why I sell a complete kit that will upgrade your scooter and still keep it reliable. I have over 2 years of R&D with this engine and have cases on the shelf with bad bearings after customers upgraded to 82cc kits (purchased from other shops).

I wish I had a Agility to mess with there is something a bit different on the engine that is a mystery.

Well thanks to Josh at The Scooter Garage, the Agility runs great.  Might even picked up a couple of mph.  (Still not too fast though!)

There was a carbon deposit that attached itself to the exhaust valve right where it seals.  Turns out the 98 was WAY LEAN. The valve itself also had a small lip on the very edge that might have kept it from sealing correctly to begin with, and the amount of stuff he cleaned off the piston head probably got back a cc or so! lol

I'm gonna hold off screwing with jetting and that air filter till I have the money to fix my screw ups again.

Thanks for your help Josh!  I really appreciate it.

I guarantee when wordslinger reads this, he'll say, "I told ya so!"

Super 8 only number 3?!?!  Put a real exhaust on there and then see what's up!  Doesn't look like she went fast enough for that to matter though!

Really though, cool review, I just wish I was the one riding them!
Super 8 Baby!

So I completely rebuilt the carburetor, cleaned it up good,  Checked all connections again, even checked valve clearance which I doubted had anything to do with it, but I checked it anyway.  Everything is just the way it was when it was stock.
Still not running.

Guess it's going to the shop.
