JS25 2008 250 scooter

Anyone know what kind of scooter this is? It has a water leak and motor overheating. Looking for a manual to know where to hook up loose hose.

The title calls it a FMST and DMV says it's FMSTar.

thanx

cleaning the gas tank and more

Read the wiki about how to clean a rusty tank before I did my elite tank. did the CLR and marbles method but ended up replacing the tank (it was pretty bad to start with). So when it came to my spree tank, I did the same thing and finished off with baking soda rinse. The tank looks much worse than w...

Re: "top end rebuild kit"

Found a used, complete top end I can see next week. Thanks for the help. If I need help with crankcase I'll search old posts.

Re: "top end rebuild kit"

I'll have to read how to check the clearances and splitting the case. I don't have any specialty tools if that's required.

Re: "top end rebuild kit"

Obviously need a new piston. Looks like part of the clip is still there. The cylinder needs work. Any suggestions appreciated. http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/2532/img0174p.th.jpg http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/7752/img0170p.th.jpg http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/3456/img0170ac.th.jpg http...

Re: "top end rebuild kit"

Thanks swimmingfree.

I haven't looked at the piston yet. Guess maybe I'd better look before I buy!

"top end rebuild kit"

Lost all my compression on my Saturday ride. Looking to buy kit from VTCycles (http://www.vtcycles.com/vtc_plugins/e10 ... ct=1&cat=7). I'll grab another jet for the carb as well.

Looking for other opinions, advice on anything you would do to your scoot if you were making this repair.

Been thinking about moving up to 80 cc or 125 cc and thinking to stick with the elites. What's some pros or cons to 80 cc and 125cc? What's a good price running or not running on CL? If bike isn't running, what's some things to look for? I've been looking at an 84 elite 80cc not running. Anything sp...

Re: Want to learn how the scoot works.

Thought elite so it's like my scoot. If I get the basics, then I should be able to understand other motors.
