I subscribed 4 years ago when you started the “living with a Tao Tao” series and I keep checking for new content that I enjoy for all kind of scooter and motorbike content

[@henrywadman2908]

Just got a Peace 50cc scooter for free. Previous owner said “it wouldn’t start when I last tried to ride it 3 years ago”. I have 0 experience working with engines, and am so glad I found your channel. Hopefully I can get this thing running.

[@Scooter_911]

Good luck my friend!

[@saysbadman]

I was ready to see the big bore upgrade. Bummed it needed a whole new engine, and the video was over. Keep the videos coming!

[@Scooter_911]

We're not done with this wolf yet!

[@mr1bienvenu1]

I sure miss the videos. Thanks for posting. Now, weird drink Friday 😮

[@Scooter_911]

Thanks for sticking around. We'll be doing our best to keep new videos coming!

[@agermanginger8052]

I foolishly bought a DongFang almost a year ago and similarly to the owner of this scooter, I put regular motor oil in hoping for the best... my reward was a burnt exhaust valve, a bent crank arm, and best of all the bottom half of the piston exploded, there were plenty of metal fragments when I opened the engine. I installed a new crank, and top end, and sold the thing as soon as I could haha. Clearly I'm no mechanic, but at least that whole debacle led me to this channel, love your vids man!

[@Scooter_911]

Wow that really was a debacle! Thanks for watching and better luck with the next one!

[@bobbyjohnson5637]

Shout out from southeast Michigan.. Appreciate your videos.. I have a honda elite sa50 upgraded with polini variator/clutch/70cc corsa cylinder/v8 exhaust/gears, and more.. I LOVE IT.. Thanks to Me, you, and a couple guys from Detroit scooter tuning group, I was able to build this fun thing.. so thanks man.

[@Scooter_911]

Glad to hear it! Keep it shiny-side up!

If you do swap out the engine it would be good too see the process involved and checks on the swing arm bolts etc great video!

Here I am with 2022 ScootStar RaceStar 150CC that is well over 3000 miles with regular oil changes and valve checks

[@Scooter_911]

You earned it!

[@psycosoft1]

My sym 150 has 25,000 on it now 😊and only needs a carb.

[@joejensen5962]

Could also be headgasket, or stripped spark plug hole on a leak down

[@Scooter_911]

It certainly could!

[@TheJWC56RSA]

Hope you can help. I have a new SYM Orbit II 125cc air cooled, carb model. It has done 105 km only! At town speeds (40 - 60 km/h) with light throttle it has a bad irritating "orbital" vibration - like a very bad wheel bearing on a car. This does not happen under power (accelerating with full throttle) - only at low throttle between 40 - 60 km/h slowly going up and down that speed. From 0 - 40 km/h and above 60 km/h it is absolutely fine. I have checked the belt, variator, rollers, clutch, gearbox bearings, all gears, rubber bushes to the engine/frame.... all seems OK. What else can I check? (Dealer says "this is how they are" however my friend also bought a new one two weeks before me and his does not have this issue...) Where else do I look for the cause of this issue? Regards!

[@southernchaos979]

Mine was still running decent just smoking terribly out the VC breather(I'm runnin scooterarmy88 BBK ncy cam ncy cdi and a uni filter) so I got anilother set of rings (they didn't charge me for them) but piston was slightly scratched but we were able to clean it up and rehone the cylinder, but still can't figure out why I'm leaking oil from the center of my crank seal.and over heating.

[@scooterman7098]

Mine has spark and compression, (it about sucked my finger nearly in) but even a little fuel in the sparkplug hole and it won't kick over

Ever work on a 85 Honda gyroS tg50? Would you want too? Took a ride put it away. 3 years later ...Starts ,won't run. No lights, horn trunk signal. Got new batt (Always worked before starting). Don't want to scape it .want to ride it one last time. Then auction it off to a high-school student. Specific note...this scooter has 9k miles.

[@Scooter_911]

I havent done much with Gyros but the service manual will always tell you everything you could need to know! If the bike has sat for 3 years it is likely the carburetor will need to be rebuilt. The fuel in the carburetors floatbowl deteriorates and plugs the jets.

[@mv4463]

Cleaned it and yes I have the service manual still no run.

[@mv4463]

I'm thinking with 9k original mileage it's at it engin end ?😢

[@Scooter_911]

@@mv4463 it's not outside the realm of possibility but I would make sure to test the compression and verify you have spark before you condemn the engine

[@Tony770jr]

Nice troubleshooting. Seems like those Chinese scooters need more routine maintenance that others....

[@Scooter_911]

They certainly do. It costs the manufactures money to develop better parts and the point of these scooters is to have a very low price point.

[@psycosoft1]

Not all chinese scooters do, but you get what you pay for.

[@billmilligan1705]

For good service you need to rebuild the engine and transmission every 1000 miles.

[@Tony770jr]

@@billmilligan1705 Maybe better to buy a Honda for the long run!

What are the correct valve adjustments for 50cc GY6? I have found a manual where it says to set both valves at 0.002inch/0.05mm. Is that correct?

[@kz1000st1]

The 139QMB engine by Znen is tough as nails. It shows you how bad the engine was abused and neglected to end up like that. They usually go 20,000 or more if cared for. Some even more.

I appreciate any help from anyone willing to try anything so I can take my test on it

I might of Fucked up, I might of changed the oil too late cuz my 150cc moped died on me while riding, so decided to change the oil and so little came out, and very dark. But no metal peaces came out. Should I buy a new engine? Sigh
