Title: ..necccesssityy..mother of motivation...
Post by: wordslinger on July 17, 2010, 01:38:09 AM
..so, my ppl is down...DOWN!...won't fire..my a50 limping at best...
..both with suspected compression issues...
..and i finally buy me a good compression testing kit..(45 bucks at AdvanceAuto)...
..so i put th' lectric starter on th a50...(where it belongs) and the 748 belt from before...
..no good..running like crap and it seems that the belt is slipping like crazy...
..could hear it whirring during decelleration...loudly...
..got me a 729-18-30 belt at the local scoot shop...(they're coming along)...
..729-18-30 .. hey ART!!
..much better belt feel..(you really can feel your belt), but it was still running like crap, but i hadda get it warmed up real good to do th' compression test, which pegged out at 150psi, after six revolutions..
..i'm figuring that's too much pressure, which would indicate either valve problems or a carbon build-up, from what i've read..here and beyond...
..had just set my valves a hundred km or so ago, so i opted for carbon...
..swapped out my 20mm carb with the oem, and drilled a 3/8" hole in my muffler..
..well that was good..so i drilled another..that was better, so i drilled another!!
..last test ride i ran 85 kmh, up from 55 kmh when i started today...
..added some seafoam, and wow....i hope the next run is even better....

......thank the scooter gods...

Nice guess you haven't played with the people yet,Who makes that belt,and for what model,i'm back to the stock one at the moment and rejetting all three of the peoples with mixed results,got my dremmel a couple week ago and what a tool,carved me some new needle jet positions for the hot rod made a big difference for my mid still trying to get the mains dialed running lean with the heat.The only one i could call complete is the silver 2005,put up on cl today along with an eaton beemer,need me some more room for the vespa project,and any cheap kymco's that show up this winter,then the honda's got to go.

Who makes that belt,and for what model

..i'll have to open it up...don't remember..

..i got it at my local scoot shop...40 bucks...

..so far, i'm liking it in the guilty...

..i gotta get me another 'lectric starter motor...

..going to order one tomorrow..

..when it comes in, i'm going to start on the ppl...

..that 729 belt has given my a50 higher top speeds than i ever ran...

..a little slower on take-off, but i'm gonna put some +50%...(whatever that translates to) Leo Vince fly clutch springs in tomorrow...get those rpms up a bit...

..running + 15% Leo springs now, and they catch too soon.....
