they should at least have what constitutes a roadworthy vehicle memorized.

In the last three weeks I have been pulled over twice by cops who simply didn't know the laws regarding mopeds, the first for not wearing a helmet (riders age 19 and up are not required to wear helmets on mopeds), and the second just today because he thought it needed to be at least 125cc to be on t...

the white ooze came out before the slime was involved, I did mention that, I take the valve core out, and then the white ooze. It in fact does not mention to ride it afterwards, it says that if you're putting it in as a repair, put the puncture at the bottom, otherwise, you are done. I did rev it li...

bottle, and yes I did, four times before leaving the store then again before I did it here, from memory step 1, remove anything stabbing your tire step 2, remove cap from bottle, use the cap to remove the valve core step 3, attach tube and install slime step 4, reinsert valve core step 5, refill tir...

So the tire went flat again tonight, it's definitely some sort of physical problem so I grabbed a bottle of Slime, temporary fix now is better than waiting until I have the time and ability to find out if anybody nearby sells the tube, fail, then order it online and wait one to two weeks. Reading th...

The pressure stayed stable over night so I'm going to assume it's fine for now (that doesn't sound like a bad idea at all!)
Like I said it's a slow leak, so I'll take my battery pump and replace the tube in a few weeks when I can't ride it anyways. Or sell it.

So a few days back I came out after work and found my rear tire flat, logically I assumed vandals and pushed it up the street to the gas station, hoping they'd just let the air out. Unfortunately the next day the tire was flat again; the pump at the gas station was partially busted, it's meter didn'...

Ok so forget all that. This morning I started up the moped, and it jingled, Unfortunately I had exactly enough time to get to work on time so I had to just go. When I got home I took off the transmission covers and found... drumroll five out of six broken sections of some sort of metal tube, I belie...

So I remembered the other two things When I make any sort of sharp right hand turn, such as those I make almost any time I turn right, the kickstand scrapes on the ground, this seems bad to me, and since I'm not making all that sharp turns (90 degrees turning onto other roads in residential areas at...

So an impact wrench is fine, the problem is that I'm not securing the crankshaft at all?

btw, the honda manual says to use that tool to hold onto the alternater

how is an impact wrench any different then hitting a wrench with a hammer? Let's assume I don't have that tool, and pretend I don't have any way to get it, what's the next best thing that I might have or might be able to improvise I should feel stupid for believing a new carb was by default a clean ...

So I've got this SA50P, a bit ago I switched out the carb and muffler for brand new SA50 versions (I had to grind out a bit in the muffler to make it fit on but it fits), and basically that took me from a bike that barely ran, and when it did run it struggled to pull 15 up the hill of a small bridge...

drained the fuel, flushed the line, cleaned the float needle seat extra well, it almost made it all the way around the test loop. Whilst I was gone for my sister's graduation my dad took the liberty of ordering me a new muffler and carb, both for the '96 SA50, not my SA50P, I'm very much hoping ther...

late update, about an hour later the symptoms returned, I'll do the same thing tomorrow and see what it does, probably just old fuel regunking it

I had to rip most of the wadding off the qtip to make it fit in that hole, but I just went around the long loop with no trouble, seems to be fixed

Edit: It's official
Back and forth to the gas station, roughly a mile each way, the only problem is that I'm going 25 (haven't derestricted it yet)
