It's spotless now I cleaned it up before I put it back on.

Those throttle stop screws shouldn't really be messed with as they're set to a point that the ECU knows as throttle shut and needs specialist info and often equipment to reset. Could be worth giving the throttle body inners a good clean as they gum up and don't fully close or let less air through.

Itchy boots made a big mistake going to Swansea!

Nice one. You kept that hidden while playing hard to get!

More inspiration for you @boboneleg

Had round two with the ped this morning. Fuzz Nuts phoned me last night when he got to work and said the was no improvement when the ped warmed up. But on the return journey he said the bike was fine all the way home but died when he got on the driveway. So at a guess I would think the gunk is clearing through the fuel system. And the Redex injector cleaner is doing something. Anyway took it all to bits this morning and got the throttle body off and as Bob said there is a throttle return screw. But that is never moving again unless it’s drilled out and replaced. I tried doubled nutting it but it just did the chinesium thing and stripped the threads. Cleaned the throttle body reassembled everything and set the tick-over higher on the throttle cable but not high enough to move the bike. I then left the bike running for 15 minutes until the cold start cycle finished and dropped the tick over and it didn’t stall so good enough to go for now. I am hoping with a few more runs to and fro from work for him the bike will settle down and I can back the tick over off. I suspect the new plug will also help. The saga continues.

There are different ones for different nationalities, the one for you is based on tacos.

Will ALWAYS be missed.... RIP Champ...

They use them because they drive their bikes around in vans.

Yellow card for the admin for continuously being a twat ..............

The boy came home last night complaining his ped keeps dying. He had been for a long ride to Tavistock and back and run out of fuel during the trip. It’s done 15,000 km and has only had oil changes whenever I do one of my bikes as there is always enough left over to do his ped. So the oil is always pretty clean. Apart from the first service I don’t think it has been touched otherwise. Anyway it was really difficult to start and wouldn’t tick over. Not an ideal situation in a twist and go. First thing I did was check the valves which were tight. Less than 0.005 mm when they should be between 0.010 - 0.015 mm I set them loose on the max measurement. It started fine then but would still not tick over. No idle screw that I could find (fuel injected ped) so I adjusted the cable to raise the idle enough so that it wouldn’t stall. All seems good now. Rideable at least so he can get to work. I’ve put a shot of Redex injection cleaner in the tank and will do it a few more times when he fills the thing. I have ordered a service kit for it which fuzz nuts will be paying me back for also I think it will need a new drive belt in the near future so I will look into that as well. Learning stuff about peds I never wanted to but if it keeps my useless boy in employment it sort of makes sense.

Got mine through, increase of £66 but that includes £64 of unwanted breakdown cover, time to shop around before I tell them to take the breakdown cover off.

I hear him saying 'look at that wanker' every time I'm out on one of my Vespa's

I still think of him quite often and it still doesn’t seem real that he’s no longer here. It’s usually when I’m out on my bike and some god-awful run down shit hole comes into view! I bet he’s looking down on us, probably thinking what a bunch of twats we all are……..in fact, I’m sure I heard him whisper “you cockney wanker” the other day. Miss you Pete.

one of you useless mods should start this on a new thread .... you see this shite Pete , this wouldn't be happening if i got the mod gig

SKF for wheel bearings, get the bearing size then head to https://www.wychbearings.co.uk

A raving homosexual Twat would be more apt

Don't forget to check the shape of the rollers in the variator..

same ramps as i have, one is perrrfect, tuther arrived a day or 3 later and is twisted and crap. I use them to get the lawn tractor out of the shed.. Never used for a bike yet as i am still able ( at this time ) to push the bike...for a few more months anyway.

You will never have that much hair.

It could be glazing in the throttle body, some Wynn's injector cleaner will clean that off.

hi

Prepare to be 'Scootered' again

Couldn't find one but will check again when I service it. Priority was getting the thing rideable today so Fuzz Nuts can get to work.

No way of doing so at the moment. I think it has decent compression though as it pulls pretty well when running like all peds it gets of the line well for 11bhp, I imagine if it were down on compression it would be very obvious. Also it's a 4 stroke can't imagine running out of fuel would damage the motor like a two stroke.
