MC to all! and wish you a HNY!

Easy fix is if the temp is above 380 then you upjet AND check for any air leaks into motor. The high temp represents a lean condition and you have to remedy it. It's not hard to find the problem.

Ive got a no start condition and out of ideas on this one. Has fuel, spark, and 145 compression on new top end.

Done the following:
New plug(s)
Added oil to the cylinder after new top end
Replaced crank seals
Replaced carb with new
New cdi & ignition coil for original no spark condition
Fresh ...

Nice! Thanks for posting your find! There was a model I remember that had the 8" wheels instead of the 10" American/Japan market sized ones. That looks like them. I bet it was made in Japan and imported to wherever it is now. Look around on the frame under the bottom or front behind the plastics ...

Hey, welcome back! It's up to you at this point. You could add-on to this post for now. We can always make adjustments if needed but the important thing is that you're finally taking on this project! It looks like it's mostly white. Are those the original colors? These are very rare and I don't ...

What brand and number spark plug was in there when this all happened? Are you holding the throttle wide open when you do cylinder compression test? What did your leak-down test show and how many pounds of air did you pump it up to? If you have resolved your issues then please reply with your ...

Those must be rear panels, taillight and rear fender from a PAL (JDM) af17 scooter! Nice job!

thanks again everyone for the help!

You must resize them to 600k or less or it will not accept it. Either an app or photoshop, etc. will work.

yeah i love how small the sb50 is. im able to lift it in the back of my van by myself! hopefully the swap goes smooth. thanks for the info!

Hey, it's like Meatball said, you have to reinforce the frame and in a few places also, and the other is you have to make up a motor mount bracket from one ...

awesome thanks so much for the info meatball! <3 i have been considering getting a whole new scooter but i just found an af18 engine thats a bit steep but still cheaper than a whole new scoot. so i think im going to go with that. im located in co.
Hey man, that's cool! I know that there's plenty ...

Yea what Meatball said, or, maybe you could just buy an Elite SA50 that has the AF16 already on it and go from there? I know someone selling one in Florida (not cheap) but it's complete w/title. Where are you located?

You can't just install a new bore kit then go riding it like it was an old scooter. You must follow break-in procedures and make sure no other air is entering the motor except through the carburetor/air filter box. Read the post just before this one for some insight to break-in or you can just give ...

Yea, it needs to be smooth. No need for a new piston if you just hone it a little but new rings for sure and you have to start the break-in process all over again. Use good grade fuel and non-synthetic oil to break-in rings. IMPORTANT! Be sure there is no air coming into your motor except thru the ...

"Will be updating y’all on the repair or build."

Please do this. It will help us to find out.

First thing you need to do is find out why it did this? That is not normal wear and something is incorrect for it to do that kind of wear. Either a washer is missing, or the gear was pressed on ...
