Got the scooter all running & on the road. Took it out for it’s maiden voyage yesterday. Things were going well, had it up to 50 mph & was having a blast. Then 20 miles into my ride I stopped at the light over by the Glenville Walmart & it shut down. Pulled over, kicked it back over. Started right up so I let it run for a few minutes, took it off the stand & bam instantly died again. I had to call a buddy to drag it home. Looks like I need a clutch. So, in a few weeks I’ll order a performance clutch & final drive. Claims of 60 mph with this setup. See what happens. ---

Is that housing cracked or is it supposed to be like that? Edit never mind upon zooming in definitely cracked. I was gonna say that’s bizarre looking if it was supposed to look that way haha. ---

Well due to a little rough patch I’ve been going through I’ve been having a hard time getting to sleep at night so to help blow off some steam I’ve been painting some parts for the little Zuma. Nothing major, just hand controls & the belt drive cover. May do the wheels black, not too sure yet. Parts will be ordered Thursday so hopefully I’ll have it back on the road within a week or so. Quick phone pics for now: [![http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/zumahandcontrols_zps51e39724.jpg](http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/zumahandcontrols_zps51e39724.jpg)](http://s1011.photobucket.com/user/cjconlon692/media/zumahandcontrols_zps51e39724.jpg.html) [![http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/zumacover_zps97b7e1f5.jpg](http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/zumacover_zps97b7e1f5.jpg)](http://s1011.photobucket.com/user/cjconlon692/media/zumacover_zps97b7e1f5.jpg.html) ---

So my stage 6 clutch kit FINALLY comes in the other day. Got everything on, topped it off with a new NGK spark plug & new battery. Fired right up running with no problems. Took it out & ran fine. Today I decided to get back to using it for running around town. Took off to the Glenville Price Robber to grab a few things ran beautifully down there. Got going home & right as I was about to turn onto Onderdonk all of a sudden the engine just shuts off. Parked it, had to walk home thank god I only live on Bolt Rd & grabbed my brother & the Silverado & went to go get it. Took the case off, everything was tight, belt didn’t come off or snap. Pulled the plug & checked for spark. Had spark. Threw a compression tester on there & got a impressive zero psi. So it appears the motor is shot…Great. Currently doing research into doing a GY6 150cc swap. For now, it’s gonna sit in the garage & collect dust. :banghead:banghead:banghead [![http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/d4f2a6fd-54bf-405a-ad63-39dd7816993e_zps18d6aabc.jpg](http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/cjconlon692/d4f2a6fd-54bf-405a-ad63-39dd7816993e_zps18d6aabc.jpg)](http://s1011.photobucket.com/user/cjconlon692/media/d4f2a6fd-54bf-405a-ad63-39dd7816993e_zps18d6aabc.jpg.html) ---

Kinda Paul, but its more like a really shitty and not cool car that someone would sink a lot of money into and never drive it. And even when it did work, it was still gayer than aids. Like an Olds Alero, Pontiac Sunfire or a penis colored BMW 3 series. (Just kidding Benny) ---
