Some one has to control those lads, and it's better with one that is controlled by the One that can, rather than by the one who made it bad in the first place.

Sounds like we need to plan another Meet & Greet in the Niagara Area. Let us know if you are planning on being in Niagara, we'll find a dump uhhhhhh I mean place to eat and have good time together. Meet & Greets around here usually take about 3 to 4 hours, so come with an empty loader.

Seems you either have some air blocking the process, a blockage in the line, maybe a kink, or the parts are not in the right order or facing the right way. You sure did give it an honest effort though with all that you've done. If you did not clean the slave, then I would suggest doing that as well. A lot of crud can collect in the slave and cause a host of difficulties.

When wiring speakers it doesn't really matter as long as you wire them all the same. If memory serves me correct each pair will have 1 black, or 1 of some other colour in common. Hook that to the same side on all the speakers, then you'll be fine.

Let's see now, 17 posts and nobody has it figured out correctly. Tut tut, you should all know better than that by now, but I am going to assume that you're all grown men and so will keep the opinion you have no matter how much the truth should stare you in the face. Oh well, summer is coming soon and then the real scoots will once again lead the pack.

You'll probably have to have a licnece to do that as well.

I see nothing wrong with your side of the story, but you wrote it, I didn't really hear you speak and that does make somewhat of a difference. In either case, I would like to hear his side before I'd make up my mind on this, if he has a side. It's important to be fair.

There's been some questions in the past as to how to replace the carb diaphrams, so when I did mine last night, I took some pictures, everybody always like pictures, RIGHT? Well here goes the write up: 1) Remove the false tank cover, side covers, side rad covers and loosen the lower faring. Remove the air box lid and the air filter. This would also be a good time to clean the air filter and the air box. You need to do this so you can reach into the carbs later. 2) Identify the part, the diaphragm cover, which has 4 torx screws, the one having a pin in the middle. This was done to make it hard, otherwise everything would be easy and any mechanic could do it. I didn't have one to show you, so you'll have to take my word for it. It can easily be snapped out by using a needle nose pliers or if it's stubborn a small punch. Just work it back and forth once or twice and it will come clean out. 3) Remove all the screws and the cover will pop out by it self, seeing as there is a spring behind it. Save the spring, it will come in handie when you put things back together. 4) Now that you have this area open, it's a good time to use some Carb Cleaner to clean the area, and all the little ports you can see. Finish by blowing out with air. At the bottom you'll see a little built out area that has a rubber ring in it. Be sure to save this ring as well, otherwise it's sure to get itself lost and then you'll have to wait longer for more parts. 5) Inside the diaphram body you'll find a plastic screw, turn it out by turning counter clockwise, that's the opposite way the hands on a clock turn. Under that screw will be another spring, not at all the same as the first spring, but a spring none the less. Keep it handy as well. Under the spring will be the needle assembly. This consists of the needle itself, a 'C' ring and a small washer. Best not to loose these either. They all need to go back in order in the new diaphram. 6) You are now ready to begin the installation of the new diaphram. Make sure that the little washer is mounted on the short side of the needle (#3) and then with a needle nose pliers insert the needle into the new diaphram (#1). Now comes the part where you pay attention. On the collar of the the needle you see a little plastic pin,(#2) this needs to seat in the hole provided for it in the base of the diaphram. Once the needle is inserted into it's rightful location you can very slightly push it back and then by turning it you'll have it find the hole (#5). Now you cannot turn the diaphram over again until the plastic screw is in place, but first you need to put the little spring back in on top of the needle (#6). Then with a needle nose pliers you drop the plastic screw down into the diaphram and with flat screwdriver wiggle it until it jumps into it regular spot, at which time you can gently attempt to turn it into the threads. Sometimes this goes easy, sometimes it takes a bit more time, but don't give up, it will happen. 7) Once you have the diaphram together you can slide it back into the carb. You'll find a tab on the outer edge of the diaphram and that seats into the cutout for in the carb. This is also a good time to remember to put the rubber O ring back in place at the lower end of the carb. To make things easy, fold the diaphram to-wards the carb and seat it in the grove provided for it. Next insert the long spring, that pushed the cover off in the first place, into the diaphram, but do not let it seat the plastic slide into the carb as this will cause it to unseat the rubber from the carb. Now seat the spring in it's approved place on the cover. Do not push it together just yet. 8) Now as you can see, I did mine while the carbs were off the bike, that was because the motor was already out and second gear was under construction. You really don't have to wait until second gear goes or you have to take the engine out for some other reason. This can all be done very nicely right on the bike. So now comes the final process: before you push the cover back into place, put your finger or have someone else place their finger, or use a piece of plastic or steel, (I wouldn't suggest wood as you may get dirt into the carb) into the throat of the carb to prevent the diaphram from sliding in. This will keep the bead seated in it's proper spot. Once the cover is in place and two screws have been inserted and tightened you can withdraw your 'finger' from inside the carb. Now, wasn't that easy?????

When things get that cheap, I get wary.

Now what took you so long??????????? We're here to help and long posts give lots of info, soooo, you either tell us off the bat, or we'll have to type a lot to ask the questions you could have answered in the first place. Tell us about your cync tool, and how it works and we might be able to help you there. Don't depend on the looks of your plugs, if you have issues the first thing to do is to replace them, they can act bad without showing it. Half a can of Seafoam is not enough in a full tank when she's been sitting for a while, rather use a full can in half a tank of gas and let it sit for a while in between runs so that it has time to soak. Valves should not be an issue, so work around that, just leave them be until she gets older. The colour is awesome, and for me, I would spend a lot more on her before I'd even think of starting to budget. The bike is a great machine and well worth loving a little bit, no matter what the 2nd genners like to say. When you get new needles get all four at the same time, or you might still have an odd one. $17.88 ea at Flatout Motorcycle http://www.flatoutmotorcycles.com/fiche_section_detail.asp

Ah well, no real loss,,,,,the Ford I mean.lol

It would be long and lean And not want to be seen

Best get some bigger boots, it's sure to get very deep here soon. Maybe I better hightail otta here, before I gets in trouble!!!!!!!

If you have mud and grime on the scoot, you need to wash it first, then comes the fun part, go for a nice ride. When you return from that part, park it in the garage, close the door, bring out the LemonPledge, spray the whole scoot, starting with the wind shield. When you are finished spraying get a clean soft cloth, gently clean the wind shield and then follow the same route as you did with the spray. I'd say that the wash should take about 10 minutes, the ride will last until just before sundown and the polish should be no longer than you can keep a beer cold while making use of the end of the bottle. If you do this first thing in the morning you can substitute the beer with coffee and the ride can be shortened to maybe an hour or so, depends on how lost you can get, and the Lemon Pledge can be substituted with Orange Pledge. If you take on this task in the evening, the advantage can be a longer ride with a sparkling scoot first thing in the morning, if you wait until the mornig to get it done, you have the rest of the day to show off the king of the road.

Grayson Wayne Hodgins, Born Feb 09 2008 at 10 lb 10 oz. All is well, mommy is tired, don't know from what,lol, Daddy is a happy lad:happy65:, first of lots more to come:happy65:. Grandma is all excited, visited yesterday and wants to go angain today:think:. Grandpa is trying to find more room at the cutting table, won't be long at the rate he's growing. Gonna have to put a hairnet on him soon, can't be making pepperettes with all that hair hanging around. If you want to congratulate I will send them a link to this thread. He makes # 14 with all his cousins.

Pledge on everything, even the exhaust. It's good, fast and easy. Half hour I'm all cleaned, polished, and the vinyl is done as well.

That would have been a good reason to find a nice warm room somewhere and stay put, but I would have probably come all the way home as well. Glad you made it safe and sound.

As far as the bleeding is concerned, you probably had air in the MC, and then it won't work, you need to prime the MC for any bleeding to take place, that's what you inadvertantly did when you removed the bleeder. Way to go.

Wow, that's a vote for little ol'me:happy65::happy65::happy65: Now I'm world renown. Question, do I double up production to meat a new demand or do I double up the heat to meat the buyers satisfaction. Maybe I should sell my oil stocks and buy in the softdrink and icecream market. Thanks for the vote John.

Oh yes there is, they are just a little more north than you. Just let them know and they will probably be able to find a whole yard full in no time.

Since when did you become serious? I wouldn't think twice about replacing the audio, the only thing as mentioned, your speakers will not work with the J&M setup, not enough power in the amp, but then you could leave the old amp in place and use it for the speakers. Nice thing about the J&M is that if you should get another scoot, you can easily take it with you or even sell it separate, depending on what the other scoot already has.

I'm gonna get my wife to try this, at least one of us will be good at it.

I could say it more poetically and give more insight, but I'll have to ride some more first,,,,,,,, well,,,,,,,,maybe a lot more,,,,,,,,,,and become more picturesque in my speech.
