Yep the old nut splitter works well too have a couple of them myself. You can put enough pressure on it on one side and then turn it 180 and put enough...
I am very familiar with the summer heat and humidity in the south, but I think you misunderstood my comments. I am not saying many vehicles don't benefit from...
If the oil pump is a low volume pump and it won't hardly circulate the oil then it indeed would not do you much good but circulating the oil slowly would...
Thanks Jack, and James as well(and everyone else!). I'm gonna put this off for at least a week (hopefully), most likely longer. At least until everything falls...
That's a darn good idea AND---- I wouldn't have to fly to the moon to find a replacement for that nut either. I'll definately keep that in mind. I do know the...
Greetings all... Well, the hunt for the elusive leak continues. In order to follow some good advice, I need to know some amounts.... 1. How much gear oil...
The gear oil capacity doesn't matter since you simply fill till it runs out of the upper fill hole. Engine oil is roughly .7 Qt and yes, use the 835 belt...
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I do appreciate the time so many of you have taken to respond to my questions. Yet ANOTHER question from the newbie! What...
Okay -- I am getting there! Now I have everything on the cvt side off. the variator is off the clutch is off... In prep to running the thing to find the leak,...
Okay.. the case is open, the entire area is clean and re-lubed, (variator and clutch where necessary!!!) the cvt belt has been changed, both engine and xmsn...
I know this thread is from about two months ago, but I believe I was mistaken about the condition of my belt. I have about 9,000 showing on the odometer(as of...

Folks, I need some help. I have a Tank 150 Touring DE, and am having a problem getting gas flow through the carb to the motor. I took the original carb off...

Way back when I emailed this place and asked if they had a CVT belt for my scooter. He recommended this one(Gates): 842-20-30(GY6 Long) also shown here with...
Gates is one of the top belt brands. Use the 835 length belt instead of the 842 belt that the factory used and you will be happier in the long run. Stan ...
I do find it odd that you would not have a 669 size belt as that is what most 50's use. Stan http://www.oregonvintage.com Scooter Parts and Service Tips MRP &...
I don't know if I have the 842 or not--- that's just what the guy said in the email(specifically), but I'm not sure how much he knows about scooters. Maybe...
The common lengths for a 150 are 842 (835) with a long CVT, 743 with the short CVT and 669 for most 50cc scooters. But, it is always best to check it before it...

Louie, The Tank 150DE is not restricted. No scooter over 50cc is restricted. A stock Chinese 150 should have a top speed in the 55 - 60 mph range. If you're...
