      @@RollingWrench could you help me please because somebody keep asking about my moped I'm not trying to sell it but I drive to get it fixed and the gas act like it's not going to the carburetor so I need to find out what's going on with it because it keeps cutting off when I try to pull up with it and I have to hit the seat back to a 3 sometime by sitting on it and it will crank right back up but would not move but cut off when it about to move

    Wow this is great! I bought a 2005 Metropolitan new and can't believe it's almost 20 years old. I have taken good care of it but have neglected the gear oil change...till now. Also adjusted the throttle cable. This has been such a great little rig to shoot up to the grocery store and other little errands to keep from having to do damaging "short" trips with my car. I stumbled on your video and so glad I did...thanks so much!!

    Thanks for the tune up video. Just bought a 2004 metro in December. Only had 115 miles on it! Took off the carb, took it to a guy to clean. Cleaned the gas tank. Fuel filter was on backwards. It dies while going down the road during a 20 minute ride. Still learning how it works.

I do scooter repair for my area and it's always good to see how others do it, what things they fix, what things they let go until next time, etc.. as that is always the hardest thing for me to judge. I'm super OCD so I always want to fix everything that isn't correct and it's hard not to sometimes, haha.

    Well done video, and very informative. i liked the way you worked quickly fixing one problem and then the next. You didn't waste a lot of time talking about fixing things. It seemed you got a lot done in a short amount of time. I own a Genuine Buddy 170i scooter, and I really like it. I have two comments. When you checked the oil, you screwed the dipstick all the way in, then unscrewed it and checked it. I was told by the scooter shop owner to check my oil by unscrewing the dipstick, then just slip the dipstick back in until it stopped (not screwed in) then pull it out and check. I tried it both ways (screwed in, and slipped in), and I found there is only about 1/4 inch difference on the dipstick. Also, it looked like the air filter had a concentration of dirt in one area which was not in the center. Since you were reusing it, couldn't you just turn it upside down, when you reinstalled it so a cleaner area was near the air intake? Please do more videos in this style.

    • @jimbobaggans1564
      @jimbobaggans1564 2 роки тому

      I and many of my friends recommend the Metropolitan over a most other scooters. They are very forgiving of mistakes when riding. Do yourself a favor and get one. You won't go fast, as 40 mph on level ground is about it. I hope Honda doesn't change them or improve them. They are perfect just the way they are. I have to add that Honda metropolitans from 2010 on for a few years must have detuned them because they were difficult to get over 30 miles per hour. I understand that Honda corrected that and that they run as good as pre 2010 now. Also don't buy a used Metropolitan II. They were severely restricted. I mean severely! The only way that they would do 40 mph is if you dropped it off a cliff. The Metropolitan II was a pos.
