Engine Work

I drove the scooter to my friends place to work on the engine yesterday. I have been having problems with it running fine for short trips, but longer trips with higher throttle, the engine would bog down upon deacceleration. 

I adjusted the mix which helped the low rpm performance. Then I removed the head to inspect and remove the carbon/coking build up on the head and piston top. There was not as much as I expected but still took a while to clean them off. Then I polished the head and cylinder top.



After reassembling the engine it started up quickly and ran sweetly.

I stayed for dinner but then the coastal fog started rolling in, so I decided to head home. The engine ran great not really causing any problems. It did slightly bog once, but I was happy with the performance.
