Bet & Win 150 / Re: Rebuild engine, replace engine, sell as is?
« on: August 11, 2022, 01:52:05 AM »
Iahawk,
I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos about overhauling a GY6 engine, but I dont think I have a GY6 engine. I'm not sure what I have. Here is the info found under the variator. Thoughts?
Thx
Rick

Thx for the reply IaHawk. You essentially confirmed what I was thinking - that I cant make any decisions until I inspect the engine. I hope to get to that project this upcoming weekend. If anyone is interested in what I discover during my experience along the way, I can document it and post it here. Maybe someone will get some use out of it someday.

Bet & Win 150 / Rebuild engine, replace engine, sell as is?
« on: July 30, 2022, 03:17:32 PM »
Over the winter, I examined and rebuilt/replaced everything on my 2007 B&W 150, except for the engine - new tires, antifreeze, drive belt, variator rollers... you get the idea. She was ready to sell. Wouldn't you know it, but on a test ride, I believe the engine blew. I have not opened it up to verify that, but I'm pretty confident of that issue. (Engine noise + engine stop = blown engine.) I have zero experience rebuilding engines, and I have no special tools needed for such a task. Obviously, I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty and enjoy a challenge. So, my options are: 1) Rebuild it myself buying the needed tools along the way.  2) Have a dealership rebuild it for me. 3) Have a local small engine repair shop rebuild it for me. 4) Replace the engine with a different one. 5) Sell it / trade it for a different scooter, as is.

I'd like anyone's thoughts on what you would do, if this was your scoot. Thx.

Yager GT 200i / Re: Starter dragging issue

I neglected to mention that the battery is new and tests good. Also tried another known good battery with the same results.

Ruffus, I will try the suggested fix with the grounding cable this weekend. Great investigative work!
Cheers!

Yager GT 200i / Starter dragging issue

The starter on my 2010 Yager 200i labors when cranking the engine. I've cleaned and checked all wiring connections. Any other ideas of the cause? Thx.

Hey Stig,
thanks for the reply and suggestions. The scoot has not been running in over three years, and I dont dare try to start it with 3-yr old gasoline it in.

The gas cap is located in the front panel under the key, so that cant be it, because it's the opposite direction from the rotted end of the tube.

The rotted end of the tube was tucked under the front of the engine, so I thought your idea of the "puke tube" was a good one. After inspection of the air filter box that was not it. So, I think in a few days after I clean out the old gas and clean the carb I will have it running. And, if it runs OK, hopefully I will ride it for another 15K miles. She's a trusty steed.
Thanks again,
Rick

My B&W 150 has been sitting in storage for a couple years, so I'm going thru all the steps to prep it for riding - new gas, new oil, gaskets, fuel lines, clean carb, etc. While getting ready to access the fuel lines so I can drain the fuel tank (located under the scoot), I discovered this pink tubing with one end rotted off. The opposite end lays loose in the plastic pan that protects the gas tank and is not connected to anything, so I assume that it is an overflow line of some sort. But, the rotted end (see photo) is a mystery where it connects?? Thoughts? thx.

@Ruffus, thanks again for the suggestion, but I've spent several hours looking for "generic" gaiters of the correct size, but the closest I've come are these on Amazon, and they are expensive.

BTW, I measured my existing gaiters, and they roughly measure 31mm x 130mm x 50mm. Most sites I visit only list the bike brand and model, but rarely the dimensions.

OGA027-MX is the correct part number but the sites I've visited show "out of stock."  Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
