Agility 125 / Re: my Kymco

They actually look like good parts. The belt is perfect, and the rollers look like decent quality. I believe they are at least nylon if not Polyethylene.

I would return the feet tho. You can get better ones in Italy or the US.

AliBaba strikes again.

This picture should say... Oh no... Not another one.

Excuse me for now. There are villagers with torches at my door.

2t/4t... whatever... B&L usually catches these for me.

Add a valve cover, and it's all good.

The biggest worry for me is body joints, and hips.

Wrists and elbows are tied for most damage, fingers second, and hips a very close third. Knees, and ankles take up a solid fourth place.
I've broken my collar bone but no jacket on earth would have stopped that.

What I'm getting at is I can not see the value in a complete armored jacket. Same for pants that protect your thighs, and shins.

If I were completely naked, and had to choose what to protect, it would be the parts I have listed, and hurt over, and over again. Track days... sure. Race weekends where speeds will be insane... sure.
Riding to the store for rolling papers, and porn mags... not so much
 Riding armor reminds me of my daughter. She came home one day with a hickey on her neck. Putting on my best "daddy" face I asked where she got that?
"I was running up the stairs, and Jen tripped me from behind". Now I've fallen up, down, over, and across stairs but NEVER ONCE landed neck first.

not to sound ignorant or falsely brave but knee pads, wrist pads, gloves, elbow, and hip pads are all I feel you need. Those, and a good pair of boots.
If riding sucks that day? You're ready for hockey or kung fu.

I looked nto them some time ago, and as Mclark points out, all you see is no load conditions.
I believe that anyone that has set their own idle mix at least once can tell more by ear, and throttle response.

That does sound like a ground issue. I go off one of the bolts in the head just under the valve cover. Looking at the front of the engine it's a ten mm bolt on the bottom left corner of the head. I think it was for the emissions pipe, and most bikes have this hole tapped. From there to the shortest reach to the frame, and again to the Batt.

And the fox ran round the bush.

There is a small screw that adjusts the idle mix, and a larger screw that adjusts the idle speed. The small screw is the one we need to know about.

Just looked it up. The brass screw is the idle mix. Yours controls the amount of fuel allowed to pass thru the idle circuit. Try setting it at one turn, and that 38 pilot jet you have. With a new spark plug it should start with 2-3 kicks.

Also try adding a new ground wire from any engine bolt to the frame, and the battery. Something like an 8awg wire will work. That may explain the weak spark, and dead battery

This is how it started life... A 2005 Verucci fs cruiser.

I had so many wiring problems that eventually I tore off the body, and cut off all the mounting tabs. Now it takes five minutes to strip the engine out, or around 2 minutes to adjust the valves. There is a simple toggle switch for ignition, and everything is wired direct to the rectifier. Bike on, lights on. Bike off, lights off.

Craigs List. I put it in the other thread...

For simple transport you can beat the plastics off, and make a seat from plywood or whatever.  The original seat foam, and cover are good downers for parts.

I enjoy my stripped down 4t more than any other bike I've ridden. I think I have spent twelve cents on building it, 4-5 years ago. No really I have about 300 bucks in it over 4-5 years. 2 cranks, and a big bore kit/exhaust from FleaBay. Oh... 2 CDI's, 2 carbs., and four tires.

Yeah. There is not enough displacement of air/fuel thru the 50cc cylinder to properly pull thru the larger carb.

It will work on a 50mm kit (90cc's)

On a 49cc the largest I would go is 20mm. 70cc 19-24mm. 90cc 24-30mm.

Nice kid for sure.

Keep your eyes on Craigs List... Scooters are always on there, and many for less than a couple hundred. They all need the same things, Battery, carb, belt, rollers. A rattle can of paint, 200 on a scoot, and 100 on FleaBay... 400.00 dollar scooters all day. Ride em, till you find a buyer...

It might help, yes. Try seating the screw, and turn it 2 turns out. That is the normal base line setting.

You didn't say if it was on the air box side or the intake manifold side... Or did I miss that?

Nice choice on the screen.
You can use the old one for a snow sled to haul groceries home.

Since you didn't ask... The Honda was Butt F'n ugly compared to the other two bikes. Like that kid in school that wore the tight jeans, and tank tops.
