Run it so it gets warm then empty. I usually let a drop run through, then fill with fresh.

What jets are you running, also what exhaust, have you drilled your air filter etc? As Adrian said, have you renewed your fuel pipe? Have you looked/replaced the fuel tap?

Is it the right size for a P2? 24mm I seem to reckon…

Sounds like the carb needs re jetting to me, it may well be new but it does sound like the jets are a bit big.

Sounds like it could be over fuelling, when you give it some, does the note change at all, and it pulls away like it’s in top gear?

Is the butterfly sticking on the carb?

Thanks for that Gaz , got hold of Chris. Doesn’t do side panels, and to tool up (I had a word with my fibreglass guy) would be dammed expensive. I can’t afford the outlay myself. GRP Panels only do the usual mudguard, but after this, we might just have made a LD fibreglass butty box to fit a PX cutdown… 🤓 Will need modifying by myself, in order to fit properly, and after the usual fitting and cutting, I reckon it’ll work. Not everyone’s cup of tea I know but at least cutdown guys will have somewhere to keep their oil and emergency beer/cider… What do you lot reckon?

Does anyone know who makes fibreglass panels over here to fit the P range? I’ve found fibreglass side panels for the PX on the SIP website (nearly £190 per panel), and am wondering if there is anyone over here making them, plus other parts… I’m considering getting a custom pair of side panels made for one of mine (more on that later, going to see my usual glass guy to get an idea on cost… 🤑🤢🤮) and am now thinking if it would be worth tooling up for some panels, other than the P range mudguard (I had some hugger mudguards made some time ago, found them but no effing mould… 🙄), what does everyone reckon?

Never used them. Although Mitas are a budget tyre (after speaking with the tyre guys at Demon Tweeks), I did use a fair few Conti Twists, they were a bloody good all rounder, not bad in the wet either.

Vented engine side panel, and if it’s an older engine, turbo flywheel cover. Won’t work on an electric start engine though.

Might be just as easy to get a shorter spring instead of the whole assembly, question is, how much shorter? Inch might just do it. And I think there’s a washer in the front hub, can’t remember… 🧐

When my autolube was running, I used to fill that, and literally do an Ainsley Harriot with the oil straight into the tank. Got to admit, while doing it, I didn’t feel the need to shake about like I was getting electrocuted mind… Or look like a complete tool doing it… It gave me that piece of mind that if the autolube did stop working, I’d got a bit of a backup. I was doing 55+ miles a day, 6 days a week mind, with either a Polini 177 or a Malossi 166 (with Scorpion pipe) on it at the time. They say it smokes more when you have the autolube running and sticking a bit in the tank, but let’s be honest, it’s 2 stroke, it’s smoky, it’s obnoxious, and it’s usually either loud, annoying, or both, it’s great. Sod it… 😎

I’ve ordered 3 of these for mine:- www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/pirelli-sc-30-scooter-tyre-1303918/They are £25 a tyre, and delivery was only £6.48. I had these on my sloth when I bought it new (Oct 2006), and these were the best tyres I ever had. Not seen scoot tyres this cheap, and Tweeks get them straight from Pirelli too. I’ve never liked Michelin S1 (always felt it was about to go out from under me), same with Michelin S83. Did use Conti Twists for some time, but they’ve gone up in price too, but they seemed to be a pretty good tyre… 🤓

I like dodo juice, the Mrs uses Autoglym (on her car, she’s not a fan of scoots…).

Is it definitely the engine?? Could it be a knackered top rear suspension mount??
