Re: Exhaust spraying options

Loaded. Do you have a pressure washer? For about 40 quid you can buy a water blasting attachment and blast stuff yourself. No but I could get my hands on one though. I need to take the exhaust off anyway so I can see what sort of condition its really in. The U bend is in far worse condition (no coa...

Exhaust spraying options

Hi All, I have been reviewing the state of the exhaust on my Li 150 today that I have been slowly restoring and sorting out bits on. I have found out its an AF Rayspeed which is good. However, its state isn't the best a fair bit of the paint has flaked off over the years and the U bend is looking ru...

Hi there, Thanks again for the pics and I will have a look this week when I can get some time and hopefully get to the bottom of this problem. Will post an update once I get the chance to look.

Re: Flywheel fitting - too tight

Just one last question.... is there an easy way of telling the difference between and Li crank and a GP crank? without breaking open the engine?

Apologies for the schoolboy questions here and any help is always deeply appreciated.

Thanks!

Re: Flywheel fitting - too tight

Hi all, Thanks for taking time to respond. I will go back to the scoot during the week and will check out suggestions. I am pretty certain that the scoot has an Li crank, however possibly it does have a different crank. The scoot was a import, restored and then stored and ridden on a private road fo...

Re: Flywheel fitting - too tight

Hi there, The crank is an Li and yes the stator does fit inside the flywheel ok from what I can see.

I will have another look and I wont try and kick it over as that would cause damage.

Cheers and I will get back once I have had another look!

When I fitted the flywheel it becomes almost impossible to turn once its hand tightened (almost feels like its locked) before its prop...
