You said you know mopeds, and a open air filter on a 2 stroke moped and a 2 stroke scooter is not that different. As much as I hate pods and dont mess with them, just pod it and jet to compensate. You could also just modify an airbox off any other brand 2 stroke. I only mess with Zuma 2 strokes myself so parts are easy to come by. Heck, I bet that motor is a clone of a Minarelli 2 stroke like whats found on a Yamaha Jog, Adly 2 stroke, Yamaha 2 stroke Vino etc.

If its a 2 stroke motor, its a Minarelli clone. Now, to find out if its a long or short case (and other important info) head over to Scrappy Dog and do some research/reading. VERY helpful site when I get stuck working on something Im not to familiar with. Note that Minarelli motors dont really like open/pod style air filters as they were designed to run best with a bit of negative pressure from the stock airbox. Open pods can be done, just be up on your A game because they will soft seize with virtually no warning if not set up close to perfect! Fun motors that can really truck along if set up right.

sc00ter: I determined I have a long case (17" with 12 bolts in cover). The PO started it for me, but it would bog if you tried to make it go. I figured it had to do with the missing air filter cover and element. Just like to get back to square one with the thing before I start modding it. Seems most of the air filter boxes I am running into are molded to fit beside the rear shock. The one on my Jalon is in front of the rear shock. Is there a site with some good active classified adds I can try to find one on? |

cheapeto may have nailed it. Posting a picture of what your working with would help. Both my vert and horizontal motors filter locations fit what your describing. No local scooter shops in your area? I have 2 good ones nearby that I can pick on junk/wreaked/parts bikes for pretty cheap if needed. It just always seems what I need has been picked already..... What year is the Jalon you bought? Does it have a catalytic converter exhaust system (usually a extra pipe crimped off on the exhaust if bypassed) or normal? This can complicate things if not known.

Also the air filter location sounds like what was on my Adly RT50. That motor was a dead copy of a 2 stroke Vino motor from Yamaha. Also had a 2 stroke Hyosung Sense scooter (GREAT little scooter) that was a Vino motor clone. Note that the air filter mounting was VERY close on the Adly but the Hyosung had a strange hose that relocated the air filter to a different location to clear the body panels. The guy I sold the Sense to rode it with the air filter disconnected and lost most of his compression. When it first lost power he never investigated the reason why. Kept riding it till it got slower and slower. I have a extra top end I offered him for free but Im not doing the labor. That Hyosung was a pig to work on!
