83 Aero 80. The manual lists 5, 6 and 7. The scooter was bought with a 4 in it, I asked for a 6 but it reads 8. bpr6es is what is recommended

I wonder how I ended up with the "8". Is it too hot a plug? the nose on it is NOTICEABLY longer than a "6" plug. I was actually wondering about piston contact. It's scary long, really.

yes, I have noted that people with the bigger carbs note loss of mpg. Most don't care, but I find myself waffling. I want better acceleration, no flat spot, and the 43 mph it is supposed to go with lighter riders. I imagine since my carb has been diagnosed as terminal that ANY healthy carb with a bi...

yes, I noted that the stock one leaves little space between itself and the tire. I am hoping to find a used Aero shock in good shape. I thought it was my weight, but my neice, who weighs about half what I do, says the thing slams her around on bumps too. For now, I get my keister off the seat when I...

um, I just realized from more reading online that I have to consider oil injection ports on my new carb choice... does the oko 21mm have a port for oil injection as well as others I'll need? It hadn't occurred to me that some carbs would not have one ready to use. I DO like my oil pump. I am fussy a...

Whats the length of your shock and does it bolt up the same as a 50cc model's? Length undetermined, however the top mount is "eye" and the lower mount is "clevis"... :thumbwink: yes, it seems it is 10.5 inches on the nose from eye to clevis, with the eye pointed toward my butt a...

....okay.... :wink: ...makes sense if you are replacing the carb with a CT intake and 21-24mm OKO (or another brand)...my choice was Mikuni 24mm flat-slide for my Aero 125...I am pleased with the performance and ease of tuning. Hope the airbox will fit your choice. In my case, the increase in carb ...

So, I just looked at my sparkplug today. I hadn't noticed that it wasn't the ngk6 I asked for, but rather an 8. the manual says a 6 is standard use, a 5 is cold weather, and a 7 is sustained high speed. I look in the parts bucket... the scooter came with an ngk4 in the engine. I asked for an ngk6 at...

The '83 and '84 Aero 80 came with an 88 main jet, which was EPA lean. A 90 main jet cures this. You can replace the stock reeds with some Boyesen dual stage reeds #740. They will improve the off the line performance and help the top end a bit or you can go with the CT intake and a 21 or 24 carb. Yo...

I most likely have some vaccuum leaks to track down and may find the bystarter works, as I suspect already, just fine. It will be disabled regardless. This portion of your post has me wondering what is your logic ? The bystarter, if found to be functioning properly, you will trash regardless ?...he...

shoot. just saw your post. I'll go measure the thing in the morning...ah, I see it is morning. Um, after I go to bed and get back up again. I haven't looked at aero 50 shocks, unfortunately. mine bolts on the carb side, under the seat, about a 30 degree angle down to the mount by the wheel. Only on ...

thanks Bear. I saw the "arrow" exhaust on the telus Aero80 page... It looks like a bit of trimming on the right panel will allow it, but if it isn't worth the effort, I'll just roast the stock muffler to get some gunk out of it and put it back. I got a bottom half of an airbox today, and c...

well, the valve is in. cold start is easy as pie. still stumbles off the line but a fair bit less. my test run was over to carl's cycles... he spent a half hour looking around and charged me $20.70 for a handful of gaskets which he put in for me. He said it is pitted badly throughout and not long fo...

No worries, as I'm not so much offended as wanting to nip the idea of absolutely stock as mandatory in the bud. I value all advice from experienced folks. I just want to stop the insistence upon keeping it totally stock. I'll keep it sane, honest. All I meant was "I hear your opinion on the mod...

not to be rude, but I have made it clear, twice, that I too value leaving things alone when prudent but that I ALSO have determined that functional or not, a 6 hose vaccuum appliance I don't absolutely need (bystarter) is getting removed most definitely. Being that I have a skilled person (bear) off...
