[quote="LunytuneI'm glad you are learning though. I think the eye opener on the difference between 2 stroke and 4 stroke was most helpful to you.[/quote] Yes it was! All those years (and still at it) of wrenching on every size 4 stroke around didn't teach me much about 2 strokes. I am having fu...

Re: Best paint for plastics?

A hot rod it is not. A fun project to fiddle with it is. Quick, easy, and reasonable priced are my criteria. Hence the rattle can request straight from the hardware store. Good to know about NAPA though for future higher end projects.

I have tried the search and don't seem to get what I am looking for. I would like to know what is the best rattle can paint for my scooter plastics? Is krylon fusion the only way to go (they don't have the color I am looking for at the HW store)? Or can I use other brands/types of paint spray can pa...

Re: Spree Paint Project and restoration pics

SWEET! I will be following this thread, I am getting ready to do the same to my Aero. I had bought the Krylon Fusion paint in black, then my wife voted blue and she has a majority vote :wink: (all you married guys can back me up on that one), so back to the hardware store for me to try and pick out ...

Re: Electrical problem.

My Aero is having the same type of problem. The starter button is linking to the brake to make sure you don't start up and go racing off out of control. If the starter button or the brake switch are not making the conection the starter wont fire. I had to order a used settup from Ebay to replace min...

Re: What to do with new (old) scooter before riding?

Thanks, it is a long way off (if ever) that I would try this mod. But looking over the information in the links raised a question, and in my quest to fill my brain up with more knowledge I will never need I asked ;-)

Wheelman that was great description, I have been wondering the same thing with my 3.00 tires on the way. Thanks, although I should mention you have me pretty worried about a tube blow out at 30 mph mid-corner. Hhhmmm tubless rims, do I dare run that by the financial desicion maker...
