Thanks for the advice.  I took it to the dealer and they said it was the gas.
Because it had not been run for a long while the gas had to be replaced.  They
did a it and  now it runs fine. They said the engines need to run frequently to
recirculate the gas and get new gas. So I'll see what happens.  They said it
does not need a valve adjustment for quite awhile, it just needs to run.

adjust the valves and it runs like a dream. The valves should be adjusted every
3,000 miles. It may be worth a try?

Hey Guys and Gals,

We just got finished with a review of a pretty cool new helmet from Zox, the
Etna SVS.  It is
adaptable into three different configurations and I think could fit the needs of
scooterists
perfectly.  If you'd like to check out the review its located here:

If you have any questions feel free to ask away!

I need to find out the front axle size on a drum brake Metro? Does
anyone have their scooter apart that can check that diameter for me.
The second half of my question is if that axle bolt diameter is 12mm
what is the inner drake drum diameter? There will be a mimimum
dimension stamped on the inside of the drum and I need to know that too.

For anyone that is curious I'm trying to restore an older three wheeled
scooter (a Zoe Zipper) that used the Japanese market "Lead 50" scooter
as the basis for its parts. The brakes and wheels on mine are shot and
parts are no longer available through Honda. I want to get a similar
but more current wheel and drum brake system and switch over all the
parts to that.

Thanks,

Hey Guys,

My name is Ryan Carden and I started scooter-news.com back in October after not
being
able to find a comprehensive source for my passion; scooters, mopeds, and mini
bikes.

Currently I'm an owner of a '70 CT90, a '67 S90, and a '65 c100.  On the site
we've begun to
post articles relating to the restoration and upgrades made to these bikes. 
Please check it
out if your curious.

Also we'd love to hear from the group members about your projects and if you'd
like to
contribute an article, please feel free to contact us.  We'd love to have you!

We love scooters, moped, and mini bikes of all kinds!

Why do you want to do that???

if i remove the front fender does anyone know what the largest tire is
i can use? 100, 110,120 etc?

Has anyone on the list had issues with the SE valve n their Metro? My
scooter recently became very hard to start and the throttle bogs the
engine down unitl it's warmed up. After warmed up it runs just fine. It
definitely has symptoms of a choke/enrichment problem.

I checked and the valve appears to be plugged in fine to the harness.
I'm wondering if it might be stuck closed and if anyone on the list has
experienced and/or corrected this problem before.

Hi everyone.  I happen to ride in a very busy urban area where most drivers do
not pay
attention as they should.  After the last guy in a car turned left in front of
me, I started
thinking of getting a headlight modulator for my Met.  Anyone here have one or
has any
experience or feedback on them?  If you do have one, where did you get it.  Any
help greatly
appreciated.

Thanks

can somoene measure the height from floor to top of mirrors on their
unloaded met?

i cant find the spec online.

I installed a KRS variator I got for $39 (new) from ebay on my 04 Met
2. I was so impressed with the improvement that I ordered (and
installed) another one for my wife's 05 Met 2. It instantly added 10
mph to the top speed (28-38 mph).
