my zx50 issues

[wordslinger]

...sounds to me like a thorough carb cleaning is long overdue...

..i had the SAME problem when i used some canned gas i had in th' shed...

..took me a cpl months of periodic cleaning (when it would f8ck up, usually in th' mornings leaving for work), ..and a new fuel filter before i got it all cleared out...

[thebatman]

wrll, i have fixed my first 4t... WOOO HOOOO..   i did find some rotted vaccum lines and cleaned carb,and out of oil!!    she started and ran.(only about 10mph faster than mine, maybe,hmmm???)..carb jet gotta be off tho, pretty rich, plug pretty black at mix ring..bet a rejet, air filter, holes would make that chinesse thing go then.... i am sllloooowwwwlllyy learning these scoots..4t WAAAY FRSAKIN DIFF. FOR SURE..

[wordslinger]

..yeah, way different...

..shoulda seen me crawling all under my 2t looking for a place to drain the crankcase oil...

[thebatman]

and now look at ya word, WAY past me on the 2t knowledge also..

[wordslinger]

...no, i've never squished or ported...

lmao...i can't DIAL in the cvt .......... ever seen going from 7s to 6.5 and the stall change??   figured te 6.5s would set it off BUUUT, stall was a touch less..did get a new belt yesterday   will see how that helps...to much rain this week to do anything so far..gonna be rainy today...word is probably getting washed away yesterday an today...hang on homey...

[thebatman]

well ill be god damned....changed my belt just now, my dam stall is completely gone now.....wtf?? explain that sh**........i lost my printout of the var settings too....not that i understood the thing anyway

[thebatman]

ALSO, i forgot to ask.........does anyone ever have a oily buildup IN BETWEEN the reeg cage and cyl.??(on the inside)....

[sidthesloth]

No stall?-broken spring? You will have an oily build up in the crankcase, is from the oil in the fuel.

[thebatman]

springs look fine...i had put in 6.5 yesterday, stall half gone, put in belt this a..m all stall is gone....how can the cvt change with a BELT replacement..                                                                                also, topic #2: i have a bit of oily looking residue on one side of my reed cage, next to the cyl. seems to lay on top of case on the backside of reed cage.....am i leaking air at my reed cage?....seems to have always been there...i had cleaned it off last week, now its back, so something, right??.. thinking/hoping just a plain ol air leak......any suggestions....thanks for the reply sid, hope all is well on your side of the puter.....

  Not all belt brands are the same size if it's working for you keep note as to the brand. Maybe an airleak and air leaks ar'nt good,keep an eye on it.

[thebatman]

exactly the same belt........    aahhhhh, see.

[art]

 Maybe all those rounds of tuneing tore up the other belt. When I had mine all out of wack one ride around the block left belt dust everywhere.(slipping real bad)

[thebatman]

sh**, i have had belt dust from day one...the first day i started her up 2yrs ago.. nothing new there..lmao washed cover again today.....
