I don't see a way to post it on here. If you want me to email it to you I can. I just need an email address to send it too. If not I'll have to upload it to youtube which will take a little while for their conversion process and getting it on there. At least last time I put a vid on youtube it took about a day for it to be viewable to everyone.

I'm uploading the video to youtube right now. I'll post the link in a few minutes when it's done uploading.

EDITED**** Sorry I forgot to answer your question, but yes everything is nice and tight.

well since it is so cold it could be running pretty lean and these scooter are known for come from the factory jetted to lean but i am stumped

It's ok, I do appreciate the help. If nothing else at least I learned how to set the valves. I got it off the porch though and within about a 1000 foot stretch I was able to make it up to 35mph with my g/f riding with me. I didn't pay attention the first time but the second time with just me on it I was doing about 32mph at 6500rpm the only reason I was worried about the high idle before was because I was it was going to mess up the engine or belt. I am going to be ordering a new carb regardless along with a performance filter. I was looking at this kit on ebay. but it doesn't say what mm it is.

and I don't know what size I need etc.

teddy554 · 03-08-2013, 10:48 PM

send them a email and ask, but it will fit the scooter fine but you might want to order some extra jets bigger and smaller to be able to tune in case the 85 is rich or lean. I want to give you some links to some good quality parts
this link is for all naruku parts for different makes and models have to find the gy6 stuff but there is some good stuff for your scooter and this place is pretty cheap to other sites http://www.mrscooterstore.com/Catego...Parts&offset=0
and not for your name scooter but is the same exact scooter

Thanks even though I still don't understand what size I'm looking for lol. I don't understand how three dif size mm things could fit such as 16mm 18mm 19mm etc. is it because the rubber tubes that go over the holes are stretchable?

prodigit · 03-09-2013, 01:08 AM

one thing I was thinking of,
Try loosening the throttle cable a bit at the handle, and tighten the idle screw.
This should give you a more fixed idle. If it's not fixed, then the issue is with your bike. If it's solved, the issue might be that the scoot gets it's idle from a tensioned throttle cable, rather than from the idle screw...

The measurement is not from the outside they are inside measurements, fron 50 seconds to 150 he shows you where the measurement refers to

tdsj · 03-09-2013, 12:26 PM

@prodigit ya I tried that thinking it might be the problem too but sadly it didn't work. @teddy thanks I understand on the sizes now thanks. Most carbs I look at only seem to have 1 screw for the idle. The 2003 qingqui that I had had one for the fuel and one for the air. But it also had a manual choke which might have something to do with it.

teddy554 · 03-09-2013, 02:55 PM

yeah thats a 2t carb here is how a 4t works

scootnwinn · 03-09-2013, 04:35 PM

its a bummer you never got it going right. How do you feel about exploring your carb by cleaning it the only thing else that can cause that is gunk in the pilot circuit...

prodigit · 03-09-2013, 09:42 PM

There still could be an air intake leak...

tdsj · 03-12-2013, 08:59 AM

Hey guys, Sorry I haven't responded. I tried spraying again yesterday with carb cleaner. Again no luck. I took the carb apart no luck either. Today in about an hour here I'm going to be driving it to the place I bought it from and they are going to look it over when I leave it there. I'm also going to ask them to check out the steering column since when I put on the front break by it's self at a very slow speed about 2mph... the steering handlebars lunges forward about an inch or two almost causing me to lose control even at that low of a speed. So wish me luck in hopes that they find what I couldn't.

tdsj · 03-12-2013, 04:19 PM

Well got the scooter back. I'm afraid he may not have found all the vacuum leaks but he found one that I couldn't. There was a hole in the rubber needle diaphragm for the carb. They fixed the steering. My scooter still idles up and down a lot. He said he fixed the problem but when he started it up and it started doing it on him too then he said that is normal for these types of scooters because of the diaphragm working at going up and down like a plunger at working to keep everything steady? I included a picture of what he was talking about in case I have the name of the part wrong. Also including a picture of the before and after for the oil, I don't think I need to tell you which is which lol
