Like 50 2T / Re: Malossi 47mm 70cc Piston Replacement

This link http://www.scooterloungeonline.com/product/M%20319987 says piston # is 347036

So this should be the piston

https://www.amazon.com/Malossi-34-7036-Replacement-Cylinder/dp/B0057X6N0G

Thanks I can confirm that is the correct piston. Identical to my original.

For future reference for others who may need a piston get the 347036 for Dio. Malossi makes like 8 different model 347036 pistons. 347036(a), 347036(b), etc. Different pin sizes, chrome rings, etc. combinations.

Popped a circlip last night while riding.. A ping noise and she slowly died. Piston and cylinder are toast. I have a spare cylinder but no piston.

Treatland is out as are all the other US scooter parts companies I tried.. Racing Planet has it but it's in the EU warehouse.. I'm not waiting a month. I'd rather buy a whole complete kit from Scooterpartsco.

Dynoscooter has one but it's listed for Malossi 31 7200. My kit is a 31 9987.

A search of 31 7200 tells me that's for a Dio kit. Think it'll fit mine?

I guess I'll soak the rubber hose in hot water before install and grind a tiny bit of the lip off the carb.

Like 50 2T / OKO 21mm Carb
« on: June 20, 2016, 04:30:04 AM »
Any ideas on how to mount an OKO 21mm carb to my Like?

I found this: http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=200858549360&alt=web but the seller says it fits 28-32mm carbs. From my research the OKO 21mm is 35mm.. :/

FWIW I just was at the dealer having some minor warranty work done and I was checking out a new Super 8 150 they had on the showroom floor. One shock, just like my 50.

I saw a beauty just the other day. Super 8 150cc X edition.

Maybe it's the Super 9's that are dual shock.

7
The 50cc has one shock and the higher cc's have 2 shocks. 2 shocks vs 1 shock can make a difference hitting dippy surfaces, a piece of debris or pot hole at 50 mph. I notice at about 42 MPH oscillations and vibrations start to set in. I can almost know when Im doing 40 MPH without looking at the speedometer.

Probably all fine if road surfaces are perfectly smooth and flat.

Any procedures to show how to add a second shock ?

I know the feeling. I'm used to it now and dont really mind it. I'm doing 40 to 45 and hitting the limit on the speedo (50) down some hills. At first it really scared me but the more I ride it the more comfortable I've become. The only time its given me pause is down hill with the speedo maxed and the engine sounding like it's doing 10k rpm. That's when I slow down...

Super 9 / Re: carb jetting with tecnigas pipe and Uni pod airfilter

Ya speaking of warm up, sometimes my idle gets a little shifty. There's times where I  idle at about 1200!rpms and theres other times sometimes after a cruise that it'll idle at about 3500 which seems strange. Any ideas why?

Enricher coming on and going off maybe.

This place has always helped me on any issue. But I only view the general and 50cc forums.

Maybe the 125cc+ forums is where the bad boys hang out.. The bad side of town.  :o

Not too expensive for the parts, if the pipe is OK?
But the wait might be a problem for the parts.

Pipes fine thankfully.

I can get you the bolts, and gasket within a few days.

I'll message you. I need them.

Exhaust is back on and I'm riding! :)

I went to my local scooter shop but they didn't have the right size gasket. They did give me regular nuts and washers that fit. I popped the old gasket off my stock exhaust and am using that for now.

Quick question. The old stock exhaust only used a metal ring gasket. The Tecnigas came with like a paper type gasket. That's what I lost. Was I supposed to use both on the new exhaust? The metal ring and the paper one together. Or one or the other? I originally only installed it with the paper one.. The manifold has a nice little recess for the metal ring.

The exhaust is totally off. I'm holding it. I pulled over before I trashed it.

Just waiting for someone to give me the ok to ride home or to wait for someone to pick me up.

An exhaust nut sheared off and the rattling made the whole exhaust fall off. I'm about a mile from home.. Is it safe to ride home without the exhaust attached?
