how often do you set the valves
« on: September 18, 2010, 08:09:55 AM »
Hi all. love this site!. I have been reading posts for about a week now and have found a lot of great info. My new used scoot has 10800 on the od. It has been sitting for 18 months so I have been throught the carb and oil. Also put a new plug in. It has been unrestricted "CDI, washer removed from the boss, no airbox just a round filter on the carb. when I went through the carb it was so cloged I had to use my micro drill bit set to clean every port. I am hoping to get more out of it "flat ground and tail wind 38mph" oh ya thats a true 38. gps. speedo says 44 lol. I hear a little tapping in the front of the moter. its not much but there is something there. I have read on here they are to be set to .04. I am a transmission rebuilder so its not an issue to do but I have no book on it and have not seen a post on here about how often to do this. I really want a true 45 out of it."brother has a zuma and kicks my ass lol   thanks to everyone for all the great info.

  Thanks omfg. I picked up this scoot by acident. I did not know about the quality of the scoot. i thought it was just a china POS.untill I had a customer in my shop and he is big into scoots and told me about it. It wasnt running until he told me and I found this site. I just hope I can find a way to make it faster then my brothers zuma so he will quite giving me crap because its not a jap bike. I have been told that its going to be hard to beat him anyway with the zuma being a 2 stroke. I do have to admite that 0 to 10 that thing is damm fast. thanks for the welcome.

lol sounds a bit like my story that bud.Before i got my agility i was riding a gilera ice 50 2t toped out at 57 mph on the flat got to 30 mph in around 2 seconds,infact up to owning the a50 i never owned a 4t scoot in my life,so when i got my unmolested (unrecorded write off!!!!) a50 i was gutted after rebuilding the front end a stonking 28mph wtf :o,i felt like i was walking lol,a few mods and advise from the great guys & girls on here and lone behold 45 mph a 17mph jump for £40 is a pretty good investment in my book,theres still tonnes i can do to it including the valves thats why i will be keeping an eye on this post.I can tell you that you will get some top advise on here and that people are patient and seem to go out there way to help you its a great site the best in my opinion.Rock on dude and again welcome to the kymco bretherand  :) ps i did not see you mention the carb had been upjetted if its standard it will be either 80 or 82 with your filter you wanna be running 90 to 96 let me know how you get on keep us all posted.tc :)

Hi, sirrealism, Welcome. I've only had my agility for a little over a week and never had a scoot before, so I can't give you any advice, but stick around here for a little while and you will be giving your brother a run for his money in no time! Good luck.

Thank you very much Conley. i will be setting those on monday. I went with a full synthetic 5w20. any chance i am just 2 thin.    Does anyone have a good place to get a tack from. What is redline for these moters. "I know has to be not to rich not to lean". Has anyone ever seen a forced induction on a scoot?   Anyone ever put a o2 sensor on one. I would love to see one fuel injucted? I know some of this is a little crazy but if I had a super charger on my radio controled truck, i dont see why I cant do this for a scoot.
