    So now that the power plant is back in after the second gear issue, I start up the scoot to hear it run and check out that the tranny is humming nicely. Replaced clutch basket with one that is not broke, used the same fricton plates that were in there from last year, then brand new, and now I discover that the clutch will not release. Checked for air in the clutch lines, again and again and for sure there is nothing but fluid there, handle feels good with very little play. Took apart the whole clutch assembly again and again, checked and re-checked, all seems good. Started 'er up and let it get warm and tried again, no luck, so now I'm typing my way to a solution, hopefully. Any bright ideas? No extra parts in the coffee can yet at this point.

    You got an awesome scoot, now you've just about got it all, you're Canadian (well imported maybe), you have money,(or had money) warm weather is coming (sometime I hope, usually does) and you have a bike for two (only the first gen is better)

    1969 huh? Was he a prophet as well? How soon before someone decides that 'under God' must be removed? How little attention is paid to that statement today, and yet look how far our countries have come under that statement. Yes a true comedian, didn't need to climb all over somebody else to gain a good clean laugh. The good olde days.

    You've got all the best info so far, lots of ideas. If all that don't work, buy yourself a 'parts bike' and then rebuild the parts bike with the parts off of the present one. I hear that in some cases this works.

    Now just put the marbles in the microwave for about 2 minutes until they turn blue again, and they are as good as new.

    Just to emphasize this: the half washers are only one half per part bag. So if you ordered only 1 than you'll have to order another to get the complete set. Just don't know what some bright stick was thinking on this one?????????:think:
  18. Marcarl
    If they are halves then halves they are. They don't come with a full retainer because only half is needed. I went and bought a new bearing from the bearing store, same exact number but the retainer was full but a fair bit thinner, so had to wait for a real Yammi one that came without the half retainer. So much for experince.

    Opps,,,,,,,,,find out where exactly it's coming from and maybe we can help. Let it sit in the same place and keep an eye on the floor. Some leak a bit now and then, and then not for a long time. Could be the rubber O-ring on the plastic elbow coming from the front of the waterpump, or could be the waterpump seal. Both are somewhat common and not expensive or hard to fix.
  20. Marcarl
    Could be mould from sitting too long, best put it up for sale, but let me know first.

    Sorry I'm so long getting back to you, had some work to do on Scamper tonite. If the calipers are slow to return, the master is not, so a vaccum is created in the system and the easiest place to get air is past the seals in the master. From what you lastly posted, I would take off the calipers, give them a good going over with new kits and clean up the cylinder with a hone, there must be no pit marks or scratches in the cylinder. Put it all back together and you should be home free. Everything needs to be clean, clean, clean. Brakes are nothing to fool with, with out them working perfectly you'll be riding a wild ass torpedo.
  22. Marcarl
    First of all, if you are getting air into the system, it' got to come from somewhere. Either the calipers, or the master. Most likely the master, for as the piston moves back it either sucks the fluid back, that should be under pressure form the calipers or it will suck air into itself if there is not enough pressure from the calipers. Bleeding does not seem to be a problem if I read your post correctly, you are getting a firm pedal and that means, no air, and no air is no air. Check out your master, by pushing it in and then slowly, very slowly releasing it. If you do this a number of times and get some air it would indicate a problem in fluid return, which could come from a stuck caliper, or it may be the rubber lines losing their elasticity. Also check out the rubber line from the reservoir to the master, make sure the clamps are tight, don't just feel them, actually tighten them. If you at can see your way to do it, get steel flex brakes lines, I did and what a diifference. I'l never go back to rubber.

    What a guy, both of them

    Yep, GPS ain't much good to you when you're upside down in the ditch, or deciding which hospital room you're in.

    Oh, we all take our hands off the bars for many reasons, but if we were to use them for keying a mic to say something, what do you think will happen when we need our hand elsewhere, real quick? The first reaction will be to finish what we have to say, in a hurry maybe, but it will at least be given some thought, and that takes time, precious time which we can ill afford in a critical moment.
