Need a Suzy TS250 pipe? I've got a real nice one in my shed. Repainted flat high temp black, chrome heat guard in real nice shape. If you need it, make me an offer on it. Tip is a little banged up on it.

Sure you are drawing enough current with the LED's? I had some issues with LED's on my '87 Elite 50; I used some LED running lights for front blinkers.

Can't you lean the engine out too much by trying to achieve the highest RPM's with the air screw?

Maybe, if they're nice enough at the shop, they'll take a look at it, and tell you if you just need to pack it with grease.

I'm seriously thinking of how to make a track for the back of the scooter. Will a Spree back rim fit an elite?

I think I'm going to try to build a track for the back of my scooter. The best thing for snow- A snowmobile. :D I bought my '86 Indy 500 for $500 with 1,000 miles on it (low). It is like new. We got a lot of snow in a short time last year, and the weight of the snow on the ice pushed water up throug...

I'm definately going to give it a try, and with these temps, it's bound to snow soon.

Here's what's fun-
A light 2wd four wheeler on a lake, with 6" of snow, or so. Endless donuts!!

I'm guessing maybe your kick starter is causing the grinding noise. My 'ped, a Vespa Ciao has carb issues I can't really fix (no pilot screw, to my knowledge on the DeLorto carb), and it sits and bogs at 20 MPH or so, but I'm fine with it. :D I'm in no rush to fix that, since a rim is bent or someth...

Boring it to what? Big bore, or just 1st overbore? Sounds kind of "boring" (bad pun intended) to me. :D

No spark on my Ciao- Need help

Hi, I'm having trouble getting my Vespa Ciao moped to spark. I tried everything. First thing I did was pull the carb, and it needed a good cleaning. I was measuring impedance of the ignition coil tonight (my tailight does light up when I pedal), and got 8.3k ohms between where the lead from the poin...

Thanks for the compliments! I don't think I've ever owned anything that a few people called "nice." Maybe my 250 enduro, but that's it. It looks a lot better in the pics than it really does, but I plan to get new blinkers, tailight lense, and probably sand and repaint it (original, of cour...
