..so, my ppl is down...DOWN!...won't fire..my a50 limping at best...
..both with suspected compression issues...
..and i finally buy me a good compression testing kit..(45 bucks at AdvanceAuto)...
..so i put th' lectric starter on th a50...(where it belongs) and the 748 belt from before...
..no good..running like crap and it seems that the belt is slipping like crazy...
..could hear it whirring during decelleration...loudly...
..got me a 729-18-30 belt at the local scoot shop...(they're coming along)...
..729-18-30 .. hey ART!!
..much better belt feel..(you really can feel your belt), but it was still running like crap, but i hadda get it warmed up real good to do th' compression test, which pegged out at 150psi, after six revolutions..
..i'm figuring that's too much pressure, which would indicate either valve problems or a carbon build-up, from what i've read..here and beyond...
..had just set my valves a hundred km or so ago, so i opted for carbon...
..swapped out my 20mm carb with the oem, and drilled a 3/8" hole in my muffler..
..well that was good..so i drilled another..that was better, so i drilled another!!
..last test ride i ran 85 kmh, up from 55 kmh when i started today...
..added some seafoam, and wow....i hope the next run is even better....
......thank the scooter gods...
