so I still need to optimize the throttle on this thing. oh and i damn near laid it down when i hit a sand patch today, i did sorta hit a metal table though and now the brake is sticking. oh well, at this point the only thing thats going to stop me is a blown engine. 9/15/2006 6:03:27 PM |

i beleive a go-ped is a safest thing to lay down. about as dangerous as dropping a broom. 9/16/2006 12:18:18 AM |

fyi, most of those smaller 2 strokes you can easily bump the compression on also. pull out the paper gasket, and use a thin film of high temp rtv. 9/16/2006 6:42:35 PM |

i ported the exhaust and actually can easily max out my scooter right now given enough flat or declining asphalt. like to the point where i actually feel the engine go belly up and say "i cant do no more boss" 9/16/2006 9:13:29 PM |

yeah but if im riding drunk on a scooter aint no stoppin me. different with a car or motorcycle.
i remember my freshman year at state some asian kid got pulled over on campus while he was riding his bicycle at night and got a 100 dollar fine supposedly for not having laights on it. it was truly a WTF moment 9/17/2006 2:14:55 PM |

for shits and giggles you can carb it rich and rig up nitrous with a CO2 inflater and whipped cream chargers, good for at least a few seconds on a weed-eater like that
still not a very good expansion pipe though-- with a welder and time to kill you should be able to make a dank pipe out of scrap metal, cut some trapezoids and make some conic sections, then weld them shits together for a real expansion pipe ;-p
tons of info online regarding the math of the pipe when you get past all of the chinese pocket bike ads

it's less than 50... it might be even the shitter 43 i have no idea. it runs good. just when it heats up it tends to shut off. ill probably regret gettin rid of the lil shitter for puttin around the neighborhood on.
it's probably only worth around 40 bucks, so meh i wouldnt want to sell
if your lookin at a decent one i know a guy sellin a pocket bike that is in good condition "bored out" to 50cc's and has 3 different carb setups and other lil crap for 100. but that is probably more than u wanna spend. 11/5/2006 10:15:25 PM |

scooters are fun, but a good part of that fun is that "unsafe at any speed" feeling. trouble is, they arent real high build quality either and when they break finding parts is a bitch.
im working on getting mine back on the road though. 11/7/2006 3:00:15 PM |
