Howdy,
Ok, so I had a chance to play with the 49cc scooter a bit. I was hoping
someone here could point me in the right direction on a few things...
First, there's a sealed battery in this thing... According to the case,
its Yueyang Battery Co. 12v, 9Ah, "6-DW-9". Anyone know if this is a
common battery? An internet search for 6-dw-9 turned up zero hits and a
search on Yueyang battery turns up mostly all chinese websites...
I need to replace the battery because it won't hold a charge. It
discharged to nothing over the winter, and I suspect either that killed it
or the cheapo charger (which came with the scooter) that I used recharge
it this spring overcharged it and killed it. Battery power isn't strictly
required with this I guess, but it provides an electric start which is
nice. I'm thinking I'll replace the battery, then rig up a connection for
a battery tender to hopefully keep it in better condition.
On to the carb... This carb has a barrel shaped "slide" that as you turn
it opens up a hole, as well as raising itself on a cam, which presumably
raises the needed. Under all that is a block that sorta kinda looks like
a float bowl, but perhaps is the fuel pump folks were mentioning before.
Underneath _that_ is a prime bulb.
There's an idle speed screw that hits the throttle bracket dealy, then
another screw on the top of "slide", then another screw on the bottom of
the carb. Anyone have any idea what the last two screws do?
Finally... Spark plugs. There's an NHSP LD L6 plug in this thing. A
search online shows it as a popular plug in pocket bikes, but mostly want
I want to know is if there's an equivilent plug that a hardware store will
carry...
Thanks!
:-)
