I’ll investigate further tomorrow but if all else fails then yes, I’ll have to dismantle the bloody bodywork to remove the seat tub and gain access to the spark plug. Twating thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just my scoot.......I just remove 4 nuts and the tub pulls out and all the engine is easily accessed..... best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utterly ridiculous to make it almost impossible to get at…….then stumbled across a YouTube video late on which offers a solution so I’ll investigate tomorrow. ………….and here’s the air filter that I took out. Probably the original from 2006 That has got to be one of the worst air filter elements I've ever seen and remember that I mainly ride with off road bikes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Portugal, because of the sound a traditional 50cc scooter makes, we call them vacuum cleaners. That’s what that looks like, a vacuum filter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife had her knees done under a epidural anesthetic, she was chatting to the anesthetist the whole time while the procedure was being done, all she could see was this leg and foot being put in some funny positions, knowing it was hers made it quite comical, and not feeling a thing made it even more surreal, she was out of hospital after 2 days, walking with crutches, and stopped using them after 4 weeks..... all the best to your lady @YamaHead 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
