Totally cured my no start / hard start issues !

Not my doing ! For some reason KZbin has pulled them , I will look into this and get them back !

KZbin changed the short links , I updated the links in the description to match the new location Part 1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/kInMi4pma7SkZpI Part 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH3baJiqnpuVrpo Part 3 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGW9fKCDe5aJga8

About 7,000 miles

I'm paid by the hour 🤣

@@TimTuttle762 so,exact!

Nope , this particular starter gets its ground through the chassis of the scooter .

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH3baJiqnpuVrpo kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGW9fKCDe5aJga8 The sequels aren't as good :D

How'd it go? 😊

Quicker acceleration and lower end torque , but the trade off is lower top speed , but it's rare I get over 35-40 mph in town , so it was a win for me

The evap system can cause rough idle , hard starts and other issues on the ET4 . I removed mine over starting issues , but for me another benefit was the removal of " extra baggage" in the engine compartment , and the simplification of the fuel system . All that said , unless you live in an area that has emissions testing for small motors , there is no reason not to rip that garbage off your bike !

Assuming the battery is ok , and you cant ever trust a battery ! Then i would start looking at the starter , if it was crazy slow , and i knew my battery was defiantly not the reason , I would be tempted to pull the spark plug and see if it cranks over faster with zero compression , I don't know why I would , but I would . Make sure the connections to the starter and battery are spotless , any of the green crusty will ruin your day !

It's been trouble free ever since ! Best two things you can do for the ET4 is this mod and never running gas with ethanol in it !

Pneumatic wrench on axle😭😭😭 What a Butcher

Well with that added to your issue with the over flowing oil in your crankcase , I am almost willing to bet your floats in your carb are stuck open , and is allowing gas to flood the carb and flow down into your cylinder and into your crank case causing it to be over flowing when you took the cap off ..... Take that cap back off and I am willing to bet it smells of gasoline ! You've got some work ahead of you on this one , that carb as to come back off and pay particular attention to the float , and its needle valve . be almost willing to be its not assembled correctly . Once thats sorted out you will have to change that oil , its contaminated with gasoline and will not lubricate properly . You also may have to pull and clean the spark plug as well , its probably soaked in gas

Tim is there any way I could send you some videos and pics of you to take a look at ? And when I take the cap off the crank case n it overflows should I drain it out ?

Am gunna go smell it for petrol now will let you no

Yeh u was 100% on the oil being mixed with petrol iv drained it n took the carb back off , is it worth fixing or should I just scrap metal the bike ?

Defiantly worth fixing assuming nothing else is wrong with it , the floats are a easy fix and are probably the problem . I would pull the bottom part of the carb off , the "bowl " portion the bottom metal bowl shaped part , the part i am removing here in this portion of the video staring at 4:00 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGOWqaqco92titU the the floats can bee seen at 5:22 , the tan colored parts , make sure that they installed correctly , and are free to move up and down opening the passage for fuel . When working on it , you will have the carb upside down so take that into account when checking its function . Feel free to send me pictures , video response , etc and I will lend any advice !

Is the scooter on level ground ? The black cap to the left ? If so , then you have WAY to much oil in your crank case !

Ye the one to the left mate , you bought it as a project iv had it running once n then I noticed the oil overflow and the problem I’m now haveing with the starter

Thanks !! And to be honest , if I edited out my mistakes ,the video would be about two minutes long !!!

Could be ! But , if absolutely nothing happens , no click of the relay , or Bendix on the starter solenoid , it could be the starter switch , relay , etc . don't neglect the cheap things in the circuit !

Could be , but if your just coming out of winter and it's not been run in a while I would suspect the battery first , make sure it has a good charge on it .

Honestly my biggest source of parts is eBay , but if I am in a pickle and cant find it there , www.scooterwest.com/ is a great source of parts and their videos are great on here . As for motor oil , I use just about any 5w-40 full synthetic , locally Castrol 5W-40 synthetic is usually pretty easy to find and I use that , 5w-40 can be harder to find, but most Autoparts stores carry it in the States, you will need just over a liter , so if you order it , get more than you think you will need , nothing would be more terrible than having to order more and waiting to finish a oil change !

Thanks Tim, your information helps a great deal

its a normal removal left to undo

That would be an accurate description of the situation . But it gets twice as exciting in Part 2 !

LOL, cool, I hope you've invested in some cordless powertools since then :-)

Looks like you spray parts cleaner on your belt.
