Thanks

Did you drain what gas was left and refill with new gas?

Is that the 3 wheeler, or am I thinking of something else?

Yes.... due to gravity all of your fuel will drip down the fuel line into the carb and fill the bowl then slowly drip out the overflow. Unless you have a petcock valve.

Interesting... what did the "speed" pipe bolt up to originally? And where did you get it, Ebay? I'd like to know the pipe ID on the faster pipe. its the same diameter for the first 4 or 5 inches, then it tapers out to about 1" by the time it meets the muffler. I couldn't tell you exa...

+1, possibly the jet size too, to compensate for the superior flowing pipe.

under the speedo cover there is a plastic ring that holds a thermal flasher. It looks like a 2" canister with a metal ring around the top. The bottom side of that canister is where the 3 wire plug connects to. Someone could have salvaged yours because they are like $70 new from Honda. If you ha...

...it musta fell out! I get a surge at idle, but it goes away after a minute or so. Other than that I can't really tell a difference. Opinions?

run open carb, suck on the air hose so the petcock opens and floods your bowl with fuel. Then drain your carb using the drain screw. Now flood the bowl again. Since you now have fresh fuel in the system and hopefully no airbubbles you should be good. Is the switch on Run and key on... well obviously...

My Scoot... with speed pipe :) http://xs115.xs.to/xs115/07191/installed.JPG EDIT: I took it out after work yesterday afternoon and found it does do about 50 MPH. Its a slow and steady pull, but I had the speedometer needle up to the "m" of "mph" in about 7 blocks... like a spree ...

(click the thumbnail for a full size image... just like *) http://xs115.xs.to/xs115/07191/speedpipe001.jpg.xs.jpg This is the view, the speed pipe is on the bottom. The one my SE50 came with is on top. The biggest difference is the head pipe. There is also a minor difference that prevented me from d...

Hey, why don't you enlighten us on building basic speed... since you already left a steamy coil on my thread its the least you could do.

Did you notice any difference between the two pipe, or did you have a different setup besides just changing the pipes?

that isnt from an se50, se50s have a 45 degree exhaust flange Thats not really the point... SE50 is just what I have, and the picture above is not mine. It was taken from the website referenced above. What I am trying to say is that my se50 has the skinny pipe, and the ebay auction for an SE50 has ...

I got it from this page, they try to explain it... http://www.scootertherapy.com/headpipepage.html I have the muffler on top with the skinny pipe that came on my 87 SE50. Then just yesterday I bid on a pipe on Ebay that said it was also from an 87 SE50 but looks like the pipe on the bottom. http://c...
