I put a tad of grease around the carb lip to help it slide in. They (intake/reed assembly) tends to get a bit hard with age. But it can be done relatively easy. I also hate the air filter box back...

A cracked/broken air box is a death wish to ANY motor, but its extra bad for a 2-stroke because they are so sensitive to everything being correct. Pattern replacement air boxes are the way to go....

If you ground the spark plug to check for spark, watch out if there is still gas/vapors in the cylinder-it will turn into a flame thrower! Get a cheap spark tester from a auto parts store.

Just got in from work-in the rain! Yuck! So I'll give you a quick idea. Are you sure you are getting spark? Hate to say it, but if we have that problem and suspect spark-someone holds it while the...

So it turned out that big, thin nut that holds the clutch assembly together came loose? If so, you found out what was going on. There is a special tool that locks that whole assembly together. The...

Actually, no. That piston looks normal, at least in the pics. I had a lean sized piston I saved for an example but I think it got tossed when the garage was cleaned.

If in fact that was a soft...

The rear wheel should spin freely, like any scooter out there, when in the OFF position or while at idle. Even if the engine grenades, it (rear wheel) should still spin freely. You said the wheel...

Ok, heres my take on it from the other side of the country. If I was in your area I'd be more than willing to take a look at it. If you are 100% sure the piston looks ok, and it was not a lean seize,...

What case gasket are you referring to? The gasket that goes between the case and the cover to the transmission/vairator and clutch assembly? If its that gasket, we never use them. Heck, I've ran with...

Its actually normal to see a bit of smoke on an older/pre-catalytic 2-stroke. Leaning it (carb) out to make the exhaust smoke go away will slowly kill the top end. Thats why I asked you if you had a...
