My little brothers friend is so annoying. He is always at our house and always wants to play. He always cheats when he plays sports with my brother. He is also stealing things from not just me but my friends in my neighborhood like mini bikes, scooters, my Ipod,my soda, candy, and my camera. I am so tired of him. My parents know him and whenever I yell at him he tells my mom and she yells at me. When I tell my mom hes annoying she says I am too. Im only 13 and hes my next door neighboor. Im so tired of this kid he gets away with everything. His parents dont even care what he does. His parents dont give a shit what he does either. He hits his sister and she gets in trouble because she was "agrivating" him and only gets grounded for a day for stealing. I want this kid away from us.

I am 15yrs. old and I need a gasoline scooter to get to and from places and I wanted to now if you are required to have a motorcycle license to drive a scooter. This type of scooter is one of the scooters that do not have a seatand it isn’t the newer type of scooter that has come out it doesn’t have lights, a horn, a place where you can store stuff or anything else like that it is just a normal and plain scooter.

Hi,

My bike (vespa et2 50 cc carb version) has been riding like a dream since I purchased it, but the last couple of months in the rainy weather conditions here in London it has been more and more difficult to start on the electrical start, and finally also on the kickstart. A few days ago it wouldn’t start. After some kicking on the starter and trying to start it electrically with jump leads it still wouldn’t fire. I took out the spark plug and it was heavily carbonated and black. I cleaned it with my keys and gloves, stuck it back in the the engine and it started (just). Since I have switched off the engine, it hasn’t restarted since. Also, the last couple of weeks the engine cut out immediately after stopping.

Now I have done the following:

- I fitted a new spark plug (BR9ES, NGK)
- Fitted a new malossi res sponge air filter cleaned the airbox
- Fitted a new little fuel filter

It still won’t start, and subsequently I have checked:

- the spark, seems to spark a reasonaly good blue spark
- spark timing: the timing seems alright as well as I check whether it sparked when the cilinder was near it’s highest point (although you can’t measure this accurately, It never had misfired or late/early combustion when running either)

So it can not really be a spark-related problem.

Subsequently, I checked compression. I don’t have a gauge, but while kickstarting the thing I held my finger in the spark plug hole and I can’t realistically keep it on the without the air blowing out.. Furthermore, the bike is a commuter bike that does 30 miles a day, every day, and the last time I drove it home it did 40 mph as normal, so I can’t imagine it’s compression (the bike has 8900 miles on the clock).

Lastly (as it still didn’t start), I took off the carburetor and cleaned it. It didn’t look dirty at all. The float seemed in perfect condition, as was the float needle and the jets. Also the choke looked fine ( I don’t have a multimeter, so I can’t check).

Anybody has an idea where to look now? Today I tried to kickstart and hold my hand in front of the exhaust to seem whether I would feel the air "pulsing" out. No pulsing there, but that may be due to the fact that by kickstarting not enough pressure has built up in the engine. Can the exhaust be blocked?

Finally, the bike does not leak. If I take out the spark plug and kick on the kickstarter a couple of times, petrol squirts out, so there is not an absence of fuel, i can only think of it running far too rich to start.

As it still didn’t work, I took a petrol sample directly from the hose that goes into the carburetor and it flowed freely. The petrol seems to smell right ad was highly inflammable, and is only a week old ( and all the fiddling with the fuel hose has caused at least a liter to flow through the engine)

It still doesn’t start. I dipped the spark plug in the petrol, screwed it in and kickstarted, no result, even not 1 single combustion..

So now I’m a bit lost.. When I pulled the old plug from the engine it was blackish and fouled, so the engine must have been running too rich. I I try to start it now and after a few kicks I take out the spark plug, there’s a fuel damp on the plug.

Please advise.

Regards,

Sebastian.
reply after 1st reaction:

Thanks for your quick answer. I did what you described on saturday (kicking until no petrol comes out anymore) and I still couldn’t get it started. between my last attempt and tonight’s attempt to start it has been standing for 30 hours and still no results.. Would it be adviseable to get the exhaust off to speed up the "drying" process (and get any unburnt fuel or other junk to drip out of the engine) and then try to start it without the exhaust tomorrow?

I am looking to buy a scooter but I want to know which is the best brand to buy from. I was thinking about razor scooters but I am pretty sure there are more brands out there.

i wouldn’t. lol..

I need to price a keyless remote operated locking system on a residential door for a wheelchair bound homeowner. Has anyone installed a good system? What was it called?

3 men died simultaneously. they all go to the pearly gates and St.Peter is waiting for them.

St.Peter says "the only way that you are getting in to heven is if you answer this question correctly. how many times did you cheat on your wife?"

He goes to the first guy who hangs his head and says "100".
Peter says "that’s bad but true so here’s your transportation." and gives him a scooter.

He then goes to the second guy who says "50".
Peter says the same thing to him that he said to the first guy and gives him a motorized scooter.

He then goes to the third guy who yells "0"
Peter says "excellent, and that’s true" and gives him a 2009 Hummer.

Peter goes back to work but is distracted by a pounding
sound. he rushes back to see the guy pounding on the hood or his Hummer, crying.

"What’s wrong?" asked Peter

the guy looked up and said, "I just saw my wife go by, AND SHE WAS ON A SKATEBOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my dog scooter is a cocker spaniel with a serious ear infection. the infection is so serious that he is losing his hearing and although the vet said there is nothing we can do about his hearing, there is an operation they can perform in order to end the infection. otherwise it may spread to other parts of his body. scooter is a 2 year old, energetic dog with lots of love and my mother really cannot afford the operation which is 00. does anyone know of a place we can get the operation done either for free or at least at a cheaper rate. the operation is to remove both ear canals. Thank you so much for your help! =]
