you might try pep boys auto parts or even a local gas station or tire shop like "discount" or "firestone" as for my scooter (85,ch250 11,000 mi.)i've had and ...
Hi Steven: If your Scooter is backfiring on deceleration that is a classic sign that there is a leak at the exhaust where it meets the head. It is seated a...
hello warren: thank you for your response.....about the backfire on decel gasket. i thought so too, but i replaced the exhaust gasket last week( very carefully...
Don't forget the effects of a faulty air cutoff valve or adjusting camshaft clearance as both could cause backfiring. Of the two, checking camshaft clearance...
Hi Steven: My memory of the air cutoff is that it has a square edged o-ring that would be easy to lose if you had done recent carb work, the diaphragm is...
Where is that valve located? I also replaced the exhaust gasket for the same problem. My bike ran fine for awhile, but then it backfired again before I put it...
Hi Larry: The air cut-off valve sits next to the vacuum chamber cover on the top of the carburetor. There is a small o-ring, a spring, and a diaphragm, careful...

Yeah, but the Aprilia is about the size of an SUV. I was at a dealer this weekend. They look huge in person. I thought Europe had narrow streets. I find it...
Hello, Has anybody checked the condition of the rubber mounting base for the carb? Usually on these engines (Elite & Helix) they dry out & crack thus leaning...
Its time to change the drive belt on your CH150/250. Yes, boys and girls, it's a little time consuming and somewhat aggravating to remove the body center...

Hi Robert: I would find it hard to believe that the steering head bearings were bad but it could need that big nut re-torqued. That could be checked by...
Hi Warren, I tried your suggestion and I think you might have me on the right track. When I bounce the front end, there appears to be a little bit of play in...
Hey Robert, I tend to agree with the steering nut theory, you can use a regular socket on that nut but it may need a tap with an impact driver 2/3 I removed...
Hey folks, I hope photos are okay on this group. I have taken my right crankcase cover off to replace the pusle generator and I noticed these parts on the...

Well, obviously pictures can't be attached to these posts. Would any miracle wrenches very, very familiar with the innards of their CH250s care to volunteer to...
Sean: I cannot, obviously, see your pictures. However, in examining the parts blowup of the scoot and the left crank cover, the only spring I see is the oil...
Although I am mechanically impaired, I have learned so much from the discussions and love my 85 Elite. Anyone in San Diego have one? Ron ... From: Randy Pozzi...
Sounds like the small spring and sliding bushing that fits into the end of the crankshaft and mates up to the oil passage in the cover that feeds oil through...
Doug, Yeah, that sounds right. I don't have the manual here at work but I don't remember seeing it. I'll look at things again tonight. Thanks. Sean ... ...
