Movie 150 / Re: Drive Belt Info
« on: July 29, 2021, 09:33:01 PM »
It's a hell of a nice scooter. But it's so rare that most shops haven't even heard of it. I think it shares the same 4-valve engine as the Like 150i, minus the fuel injection.

Movie 150 / Drive Belt Info
« on: July 22, 2021, 11:04:24 PM »
Hi Guys,

I spent an entire day searching for a drive belt on Monday. It was almost impossible to find. To save you the trouble I'm here to reveal my findings. A Bando 781 / 20 / 30 will work. $50 on Amazon. Apparently an 800 Malossi will work too.

Hi. I need a drive belt for a Movie 150. I'm sure the belt from other scooters would work, but I can't figure out the nomenclature. Does anyone know which belt would work on my scooter?

Thanks,

Thanks for the excellent post Jim! Does your scooter sound more "throaty" now?
It does seem to sound a little different. I thought it was my imagination until you asked me.

Movie 150 / Movie 150 Vlave Adjustment
« on: November 25, 2017, 10:23:56 AM »
Hi Folks,

I just did my first valve adjustment to the 4-vlave head on the Movie 150. I'm happy to report that it is almost as simple as doing a valve adjustment on a two-valve head, except for the extra valves. All the usual stuff has to come off, plus the floorboards. There is a cross member in front of the valve cover that you should also remove. It's not mentioned in the instructions, but it makes the job a heck of a lot easier.

You find tdc just like on the two valve head. Turn the engine until the big hole in the cam sprocket is visible, then line up the little holes with the edge of the engine. The spec is 0.12 mm for intake and exhaust. I found that each of my valves had tightened up. I waited to check them until 4000 miles, which I now think is too long. I'm going to check them at 2500 miles next time. I'm also going to buy a 3 mm open face wrench (hard to find!). I turned (and held) the adjusters with a pair of pliers this time, but having the actual correct tool would make it a little easier.

Movie 150 / Re: New Movie Owner - Service Manual?

OK, thanks.

Another question. I may not be smart enough for this scooter. How the hell do you reset the trip meter?

Movie 150 / New Movie Owner - Service Manual?
« on: August 16, 2016, 09:09:01 PM »
Hi Guys,

After five years on an A125 I just picked up a 2013 Movie 150. I love it already. It's about the same size, but it's a little faster, the brakes are better, and the suspension is better. I think it's gonna be  a lot of fun.

I'm looking to download a service manual . Does anyone have a virus-free recommendation?

Thanks,

What does everyone think of this?

I like it. That's what I would do.

I'd replace the fuel filter and the spark plug first. They're both easy and cheap. It sounds kinda like the fuel filter.

Agility 125 / Re: Bad Auto bystarter - Where to buy?
« on: June 02, 2016, 10:44:17 AM »
HI guys,

I ended up buying this auto choke from Taiwan for $22. The pictures looked just like the $5 parts, but it was labeled as being for the A125. It took about two weeks to arrive. It looks exactly like my old one, down to the color of the connector. The install was pretty straightforward. A little hard to get to, but pretty straightforward. It seems to have fixed my problem.

Interestingly, it didn't completely fix my problem until I replaced the rectifier, which was also going bad. The new auto choke worked better, but not perfectly. It works correctly now, with the new rectifier installed. My thought is that the bad rectifier wasn't giving the auto choke enough voltage to heat up completely.

I found one on ebay from Taiwan for $22 that was advertised as being for the Agility 125. I'll let you know after I get it installed.

Agility 125 / Bad Auto bystarter - Where to buy?
« on: May 11, 2016, 06:53:14 PM »
Hi Guys,

it seems like the electric choke (auto bystarter) on my A125 is going bad. The bikes starts OK, but the idle stays high and doesn't come down as the engine warms up. I see a bunch of different ones for sale on eBay. Anyone got a link to one that will work for me?

Thanks,

Agility 125 / Re: Extra gasoline storage under the seat?
« on: May 06, 2016, 10:11:46 AM »
You're overthinking this one brother. Ethanol might cause a problem if you let it sit. But fill it up and run it out right away on your trip and you'll be fine. Really. Your extra gas plan is borderline crackpot-ism.

OK, that's a lean condition. The most common cause of a lean condition is a dirty carb. If you're confident that it is clean, replace your fuel filter next. Next, there is a vacuum line that attaches to the petcock at the bottom of the fuel tank. Make sure that's attached, and not cracked or worn.
