^^ took off all the body panels, peeled off the stickers, sanded them down. next is primer and paint, but i can't decide what i want.

^ that actually crossed my mind
i've considered yellow, plain white, and custom graffiti graphics (from a friend). can't decide.

10/20/2008 7:34:48 PM

wweeee hooooo nasss caaarr

10/20/2008 7:37:01 PM

man come on, you know i'm a dale jr. fan!!

10/20/2008 7:39:04 PM

what kind of paint do you use? i'm looking for something dark red with a high level of fleck

maybe

10/20/2008 7:41:02 PM

i don't know what i'm going to use specifically yet. some kind of spray paint. i'll probably throw some top coat spray on it too.

10/20/2008 7:44:32 PM

you want custom graffiti....

goto the parts store and get some dupli color paint. i think you can also get them in walmart and stuff. they've got a nice selection of cool colors

10/20/2008 8:01:22 PM

ok. that shit is awesome.

i've got some random paint. that's one of the reasons i was considering a graffiti job.

[Edited on October 20, 2008 at 8:04 PM. Reason : moar]

10/20/2008 8:03:34 PM

i bought that red color (its a little brighter than it looks, its a camera phone)... for like $2.

thats a steal. usually those paints go for aorund $4-5 i think. it was on clearance (Clarance) at advance autoparts.

heck, one can of any paint will do your scooter right.

10/20/2008 8:07:29 PM

i knew i wouldn't need much, but i don't know that i want a solid color.... even if it is a fluorescent yeller or orange.

10/20/2008 8:13:02 PM

you should do graffiti on each piece of plastic. with some nice bright colors

10/20/2008 8:18:45 PM

white background and graffiti on each piece?

i was thinking about this initially, but i'm worried the bike will have no continuity.

10/20/2008 8:20:38 PM

^tr00.. that'll be the tricky part. unless you just did a two tone deal.

10/20/2008 8:24:31 PM

heh. this was last week when i started taking it apart. now all the plastic pieces and lights are off the bike. i'm in the process of sanding and then painting...

10/21/2008 11:01:53 PM

i thought you said you had a 150.??

either way. nice bike y0.

make it camo

10/21/2008 11:06:07 PM

question, where can i get used scooter parts?

10/21/2008 11:23:27 PM

^^ there used to be a "1" on there.

covert style...

10/21/2008 11:28:31 PM

^haha, i met a guy today, did the same. except he colored over it haha

^^well what kinda parts you looking for?

partsforscooters.com
partsforchinesescooters.com

and ebay is really good.

i might have spare parts around here

10/21/2008 11:38:59 PM

paging tripleD

10/22/2008 9:06:25 AM

need a gy6 throttle cable for a generic pepboys scoot

10/22/2008 6:36:34 PM

oh snap.. i just swapped one on one of my scoots. pain in the ARSE... but it wasnt a pepboys one. it was worse.

i can prolly get a cable for you from a guy i know. i gotta see if he's got it, he's got a milk carton with parts under his deck. ill see how much he wants

[Edited on October 22, 2008 at 8:07 PM. Reason : btw nig, check your pms]

10/22/2008 8:07:31 PM

there was some fucker on a scooter yesterday on I-85 in atlanta

when he could only go 45 up the on ramp, i knew he had a death wish

10/23/2008 8:44:13 AM

We Need to have another drunk scooter gathering to rebuild quagmires met.

10/25/2008 10:20:30 AM

10/25/2008 11:40:51 AM

ohhh no shit bring them monsters over i am about to head out to the geeerage and pull the motor out of the met for ricky stop over we do some super tunning

[Edited on October 25, 2008 at 12:24 PM. Reason : I prolly have any part or can get it for beerz money]

10/25/2008 12:16:32 PM

so what do people that ride scooters do when it rains? just get wet?

yeah we do...i'll provide the "drunk"

10/26/2008 6:19:15 PM

lol there's not rebuilding like drunk rebuilding.. hahaha

10/26/2008 6:28:46 PM

it already won't go forward (though it's idling fine!)...i'm not sure a drunk rebuild would be any worse than it is right now

10/26/2008 6:45:09 PM

i can't get mine running either. something stupid is going on with it. any word on the throttle cable?

10/26/2008 10:43:31 PM

so my scoot will start, but after running full power for about 10 seconds it starts choking and then dies. I just cleaned out the carb, and that didnt help. Tried messing around with the mixture screw, but that didnt help either. suggestions?

10/29/2008 6:48:48 PM

clogged fuel line/filter?

10/29/2008 7:11:31 PM

anyone have any other suggestions for something to do to my met? i tried contacting the big-bore manufacturer (http://www.chanitomotor.com/big_bore_piston.htm), but they didn't answer their phone OR respond to email

i suppose i could wait, but in the meantime...options are big-bore rebuild ($285), OEM rebuild ($240-260), or 80-150cc drop-in...the big-bore only comes from the manufacturer linked above (supposedly) and the OEM parts can be gotten from any number of places...the 80-150cc GY6 drop-in could be done (http://www.urbanscootin.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10682), but i don't know for how much (Oppera mentioned in the chit chat thread that an 80cc drop-in could be done for $75-100, but i don't know where he's getting those numbers from)

suggestions? links? the goal is to spend as little money as possible (obviously), but faster would be nice, too

10/29/2008 7:20:54 PM

igor, sorry y0, i couldnt get the cable. my friend sold all his parts. but hit up ebay, but make sure you know what the ends look like. there are couple different kinds.

there are pretty much 3 things on that scoot that'll make it run right.

you've got spark... and power (batt/kick start).

like ^^ said.... rip off the fuel line and crank the scoot.. see if gas pours out. if so, then its your carb.

you can clean a lot of carbs out, but they arent expensive so you might as well get another.
when you said you've cleaned the carb, did you literally take every single thing apart from it and clean it out? make sure you do. they arent too difficult to screw with.

oh and do a valve adjustment while your at it.

do you have a 2 or 4 stroker?

i think i remember you saying it was an advance auto scoot. so prolly a 4 stroke?

like i said, hit up ebay.

my bad y0,

http://www.diytrade.com/china/4/products/2998600/GY6_139_QMB_Big_Bore_Kits_60_72_CC.html

the quote the lady gave me was $120 shipped. not sure why i was thinkin 75-100.. maybe that was for the carb i was lookin at.

10/29/2008 7:22:06 PM

ah, now that i'm checking online, there's a number of places to get a GY6 big bore kits available

here's 72cc, for ~$150 after shipping: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320313938097

i sent the dude an email, asking if it'd work with the met...it's half the cost of the 60cc one (but then, i'm sure it uses cheaper components...the other one uses a wiseco piston, which tripleD4u speaks highly of)

[Edited on October 29, 2008 at 7:58 PM. Reason : .]

10/29/2008 7:56:38 PM

oh yesir.. wiseco is goood stuff

10/29/2008 8:09:38 PM

no doubt...but it's almost $150 more, too...and for a project that may or may not solve the problem...

10/29/2008 8:30:14 PM

where do you guys buy rain gear?

11/1/2008 6:07:33 PM

Scooterzinc.

11/1/2008 7:11:36 PM

lol

no doubt!

11/1/2008 9:28:39 PM

$40 to anyone who can help me get my scoot running.

11/6/2008 4:55:23 PM

ordered the 60cc big bore kit...he swears it'll be here tomorrow or saturday, but the cheapskate used USPS, so i'll be surprised if it arrives before the middle of next week

man, i miss my scoot

11/6/2008 6:26:05 PM

i do too. i took it apart to paint it and haven't put it back together yet

11/6/2008 11:04:38 PM

11/6/2008 11:23:52 PM
