Not a good idea to use that high amp jumper on that little scoot.Hope you get er running!

Well, if you checked everything else I would say check the reeds for any gap and if there is it is time to replace them.This seems to be an item that causes alot of problems and should be a maintenance item anyway at some point down the road for any 2 cycle engine.Let us know!

Did you read my posts called "Reed valves did it"?I just went thru the exact same thing you have.I posted alot on this sight and alot of people thought is was everything but the reeds.I worked on my 85' Aero 50 for acouple of weeks and tested everything I could and I even pulled the reeds ...

Did you check the compression?Anything with an engine that I squirted starter fluid in the carb started at least as long as the fluid burned-up as long as the compression was good and good spark.Also, after squirting fluid in carb. put hand over carb inlet partway to restrict some airflow so it is n...

If your sure the belt or clutch is ok then there is a good chance it is the reeds.My scooter would have power the first few minutes it started but when it warmed it lost power.Does yours do this.Easy way to check is just start and let warm up on the stand then after a few minuteshold back brake on a...

get a new float and needle valve and replace them.Simple to do.May want to get a new bowl gasket also.Take the bowl off.Should be just a phillips scew holding the float pin in and slide the pin out of the float and remove along with the needle and reverse with new parts.

Well, after this scooter was kicking my tail and I could not figure the loss of power under load, I believe the scooter is fixed!!I went thru the entire scooter and rechecked everything more than twice and was at a loss.I pulled the reeds at the time but did not really think that was my problem,even...

I think I got mine fixed today!I decided to break down and get new reed valve assy. and gaskets $30.00.Put it on and let it warm up for a few minutes since it only bogged out after it got warm.Now I'm popping wheely's and flying around the yard and seems to have lots of power.I'll keep my fingers cr...

put a new gasket on.

Would a CDI from a 84-87 spree work on my 85 Aero 50?I was just given the wiring on the connector on an 85' Spree and it is the same as my CDI plug and they go to the same places on the schematics, so I think it should work?Thanks

thanks very much.I was also, wondering if a CDI from and 84-87 spree would work on my 85 Aero 50?

Should not have to drain oil to inspect.Which groove did you put the clip in/

Any help is appreciated.

thanks

I need someone with an 84-87 spree to look at the plug on the CDI and tell me the order and color of the wires on the plug looking from the back as it is connected on the CDI.Would be a great help.thanks
